Blake Masters’ Stanford emails reveal he defended 9/11 conspiracies and called Unabomber ‘underrated’

Twitter/Blake Masters

A trove of emails Trump-backed Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters sent while in college have been made public, revealing he called the US “fascist” and defended conspiracy theories around the September 11 terror attacks.

HuffPost obtained the emails signed by Mr Masters, a Republican candidate funded by libertarian businessman and Donald Trump ally Peter Thiel, while he was attending Stanford University in 2006. They were reportedly included in an email list kept by Columbae, a leftist vegan co-op at the university that Mr Masters lived in.
