Cernovich has also supported the unevidenced theory that there were multiple shooters at the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, which he claims the government is covering up. In 2016, Cernovich worked with Chuck Johnson and Wikileaks to offer a bounty for information supporting the conspiracy theory that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich had been behind a leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee. In April 2017, Cernovich promoted a conspiracy theory that the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack in Syria was a hoax funded by an American financier. In a video with Stefan Molyneux posted on YouTube, Cernovich falsely claimed John Podesta, campaign chairman of Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign, was active with others in "spirit cooking" practices, the mixing of breast milk and semen to drink.
