'''Pizzagate''' is a conspiracy theory that emerged in 2016, falsely alleging that high-ranking Democratic Party officials and members of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s presidential campaign were involved in a child sex trafficking ring, centered around a Washington D.C. pizzeria. There is no evidence to support the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, and the claims that underlie it are farcical.
