Root is a host on Newsmax, the flagging television network of Trump pal Chris Ruddy. He has long been a staunch ally of the president, and last year spoke at one of his rallies.

Root is also a rampant conspiracy theorist. In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, in which gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on a music festival and killed 58, Root baselessly declared: “Clearly coordinated Muslim terror attack. PRAY for our Vegas police. PRAY for victims. VERY bad. Awful.”

According to Right Wing Watch, which has chronicled Root’s extensive dalliance with nutcasery, the pundit has also pushed the conspiracy theory that Seth Rich was murdered at the command of Democratic officials; promoted birtherism and claimed Barack Obama is a Muslim; claimed Obama and Hillary Clinton had gay relationships; and said that Robert Mueller is “a little pervert” driven by “penis envy”.

Root is also fond of declaring Trump a messiah for Jews. In an opinion piece for Fox News after Trump’s election, Root argued: “Donald is our first Jewish president.”

“Donald is a lifelong New York businessman, who made his fortune in real estate. You can’t get more Jewish than that,” he reasoned.
