This goes back to a view that there are Larger Truths: Obama is a Muslim, Hillary is a criminal, both are criminals, Christmas is under attack, etc., so that anything that reflects that Higher Truth is viable in its own right, even if it is not corroborated by any objective facts.
It’s what happens when Belief is more important than Knowledge.
