Furthermore, during her appearance on the Tucker Carlson podcast she revealed that she supported the ‘Chemtrail’ conspiracy.

Why does Danica Patrick interview conspiracy theorists?

During her appearance on the BigDeal podcast, Patrick was asked why she interviewed conspiracy theorists, and revealed she wanted to ‘dig deeper’ into why people believed these views.

“When someone has something to say that’s kind of crazy you try and dig deeper into the fact checking of how they got their information,” Patrick said.

“I’ve had quite a few of those crazy wild podcasts where we talk about aliens and lizard people."

"Even going in a little bit more potential directions you know planet cataclysms that happened and how the earth was formed and where it came from and various different things.

“I love the nature of reality so I also love physicists on archaeologists you know people that are digging into where we came from.

“My dad gives me s*** and he’s like why are you asking questions you are not going to get the answer to and I’m like you’re never going to get the answer if you don’t ask so you’ve got to continue growing this thought bubble.”
