Susan Sarandon is now amplifying a known conspiracy theorist to whitewash Assad’s war crimes and absolve him of responsibility for using chemical weapons against his own people. This is atrocious, even for Susan Sarandon — and that’s saying something.https://twitter.com/SusanSarandon/status/1129428836448440320 …

So you posted Caitlin Johnstone's conspiracy theory without even checking its source material? Johnstone's conspiracy theory comes from the "Syrian Propaganda Working Group", a group of pro-Assad academics in Britain, one of him recently lost his job because of his conspiracism.
Ian Henderson, a disgruntled OPCW employee, sent his speculative assessment to the "Working Group". But when the working group tried to establish his credentials, the OPCW confirmed that he was NOT part of the Fact Finding Mission. Which means, he had no direct access.pic.twitter.com/ArT6y8gh11

That statement from the OPCW spokesperson is clearly stated in the report you are yourself amplifying. Were you in such a rush to absolve Assad that you didn't even bother reading your own conspiracy theory?

If you are going to engage in victim-blaming and mass-crime revisionism, at least you should check who you are citing. This is why
@RVAwonk asked you about your source. The reason you don't cite nutjobs is that they cherrypick, they erase context, they suppress extant evidence. - 2 more replies

Thank you for helping to lay out the facts here so others can understand how grossly misleading Caitlin’s article is, and how egregiously irresponsible it is to share that type of propaganda with hundreds of thousands of people.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
