In the wake of a devastating fire that burned a circuit court judge’s home to the ground, Democrats briefly attempted to spin a conspiracy that a right-wing extremist, inspired by the Trump administration, had committed an arson attack.

However, their theory, at least at the time of writing, appears to have gone up in flames.

South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein’s home was destroyed over the weekend as she was out walking her dogs. Her husband, former Democratic State Sen. Arnold Goodstein, their son, and a third person were in the home at the time of the fire, but thankfully escaped using an upstairs balcony and window. Goodstein issued a temporary injunction against the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) in September that blocked the administration from accessing voter registration data as part of their crackdown on non-citizen voting. The ruling was later reversed by the South Carolina Supreme Court.
