I described how the rumor started. It started by Gohmert mentioning it on a Zoom call, likely because he's old, and saw some random tweet that could have been started by anyone and took it as truth.

It then spread like wildfire until OAN reported it.

After OAN reported it, that's when Powell, Lin Wood, and Rudy repeated it.

Gohmert then clarified, he got his source from a tweet, and "doesn't know the truth"

But some think simply because Powell and Rudy repeated it, that it has to be true.

They simply got their news from OAN.

Also Powell made it seem like the good guys had it on Glenn Beck, but then later corrected saying she didn't know in a tweet: https://media.thedonald.win/post/aAiGHH2R.png

Powell, by our own words, does not lie or exaggerate. Are you saying that isn't true? Cause I think you'd be the first non shill to do so.

Powell may not intentionally lie, but she is prone to disinformation. This is what Barnes said who was helping with the Trump legal case and was working with Powell and has known her for a while. Powell is into Qanon stuff (along with Lin Wood) so its quite possible that she saw all the news and reports from OAN, Gateway Pundit (which she tweeted) and then simply repeated it without vetting it.
