Please note that we are displaying this very much false information exclusively for news value, operating on the assumption that our readers are smart enough to recognize this is false information and in no way consider our posting to be an endorsement of the opinion stated therein. We don’t market our product to children or the serially gullible. As for why we care about what Maggie Silvers thinks about the shape of the planet, all we can say is that a sitting member of Congress apparently does–and they were both recently in the company of someone who for all his faults we sincerely hope isn’t a flat earther too:

From Mike Lindell to Tina Peters, they’ll take anybody at Mar-a-Lago parties! Now you can add an honest-to-God flat earther to the entourage.
