Clinton/Murder/Epstein Memes

Anybody else having their social media feeds (esp. on Facebook) being flooded by (Hillary) Clinton/Murder/Epstein feeds lately? I'm asking because I certainly have. And it's not because I have a bunch of right-wing Trump-humping friends, but rather a mixture of people whom are far left and people whom just seem to hate Hillary Clinton. I know that on Twitter there are ways to filter out certain words or phrases but can you do that on Facebook. I don't want to get rid of a lot of people on Facebook, nor do I want to try to tell people what to post but it is becoming a bit of a noxious presence on my FB newsfeed. I have taken to mainly hiding them. Maybe I should start reporting them? Anybody else seeing a rash of these toxic memes?

The trolls and bots are pushing this heavily over social media, because it's a shiny object to distract from the impeachment story.

People are like, "But Trump is associated with Epstein!", which is true, but.....don't take the bait.

Just ignore them. Memes are temporary. The “Epstein didn’t kill himself” memes are on their way out.

I don't understand why they so focused on Hillary or why seemingly decent people are buying into them
