Manhunt Begins In D.C. After Suspected Arson Attack At ‘Pizzagate’ Restaurant ‘Comet Ping Pong’

A manhunt has begun after Comet Ping Pong, the Washington, D.C. pizzeria at the center of the infamous and false far-right “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, was the subject of an arson attack last week.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tweeted on Friday two photos of the alleged arsonist, who is the main suspect in the incident from Wednesday. The bureau also added a contact number.

Authorities in Washington said they found no evidence to link last week’s fire to the 2016 attack on Comet Ping Pong, or proof of whether the most recent perpetrator believed in the Pizzagate conspiracy. The theory was pushed by many far-right political commentators like Infowars radio host Alex Jones
