James Alefantis
James Alefantis is a Washington, D.C. restaurant owner known for his establishment, Comet Ping Pong, which became the center of a conspiracy theory known as 'Pizzagate.' This unfounded theory falsely implicated him in a child trafficking ring linked to the Democratic Party during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The claims led to significant harassment and threats against him and his business, culminating in a violent incident in which a gunman entered the restaurant in an attempt to 'rescue' nonexistent children. Alefantis has since been an outspoken critic of the spread of fake news and conspiracy theories.
