Seth Rich Murder Conspiracy Is Being Used to Sell Face Cream
Just when you thought the theories about the Democratic staffer’s death couldn’t get worse, now it’s being used to sell face cream.

Trump campaign email vendors are marketing an anti-aging cream with the help of conspiracy theories surrounding the 2016 murder of a Democratic Party staffer.

The ad hawking the wrinkle-fighting formula is very clearly a scam. Yet it found its way onto an email list managed by consultants who have worked for some of the most prominent politicians in the country, including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Websites traced to the same GOP vendors, Indiana-based digital consultancy the Prosper Group and an affiliated firm, have promoted the same conspiracy theory: that Seth Rich, a staffer for the Democratic National Committee, was gunned down in Washington, D.C., last year due to his involvement in the hacking of the DNC and the release of thousands of internal emails by the group WikiLeaks.

That narrative has garnered attention on right-wing websites and social media—and even on cable news, thanks to Fox News host Sean Hannity’s “investigation” into the conspiracy theory. But the Prosper Group’s promotion of it is of particular note given the firm’s prominent client list: It has worked for the campaigns of Republican officials including Trump, Pence, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

1. Skin-care companies employ hundreds of scientists, but this housewife discovered...

Seriously. Who is supposed to believe that. Companies for skin-care products like L'Oreal or Vichy employ dozens of scientists, have huge labs, have access to cutting-edge lab-equipment, have access to any chemical compound they desire, and work at the very edge of dermatological and biochemical knowledge.

But this one housewife cooks up a superior product in her basement with household-materials.
And she totally tested in trials whether it works!
And she totally tested in trials whether it has health-hazards!
