According to a new report by Newsweek, the details surrounding the tragic death of the Obamas' personal chef, Tafari Campbell, have become fodder for new conspiracy theories from some far-right conservatives and members of QAnon, a political conspiracy theory and movement that centers on fabricated claims made by an anonymous individual or individuals known as "Q."
Shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday, police divers recovered Campbell's body from Edgartown Great Pond near the former president's home on Martha's Vineyard. The chef, who started as a sous chef at White House during the Obama administration, had been paddleboarding and drowned, according to authorities. However, a growing number of far-right commentators are challenging that sequence of events, despite having no concrete evidence to support another.
