On Tuesday, Actress and left-wing activist Jamie Lee Curtis raised some eyebrows when she took to social media to tweet out a “conspiracy theory” involving Trump supporters actually stealing mail trucks.
Curtis shared a photo on Twitter taken from Beverly Hills, on Santa Monica Boulevard, and the “True Lies” star said she was fearful by who was driving a flatbed truck that was hauling a US Postal truck.
“I swear, in broad daylight, the driver of the red truck had a red cap on with white letters. Conspiracy? Outright attempt at stealing the election by denying the access of the @USPS? Let’s not let it happen! @JoeBiden.”

As soon as I saw the picture, before reading her tweet, the first thing I thought was a mail truck had broken down.
The driver of the flatbed was apparently wearing a red hat with white lettering, and the flatbed’s cabin was red, so she possibly assumed that a MAGA supporter was stealing a Postal vehicle.
As if that was the only one and going missing would end the election. Curtis sounded a little like maybe she was suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
While it’s not evidently clear if she joking when she made the claim, the actress sparked plenty of well-deserved mockery on Twitter.
“Stealing mail trucks in broad daylight! The nerve!” National Republican Senatorial Committee senior adviser Matt Whitlock exclaimed.

The president spoke out in recent weeks about his opposition to mail-in voting, insisting that concerns of “voter fraud” and delayed election results will happen in November. In fact, I believe the Democrats’ number one weapon to win this election is by cheating via mail-in voting.This is further proof that Hollywood celebrities are really not that bright.
