In what might be the most egregious fake news ever committed to the Internet, a right-wing news aggregator has suggested that Star Wars prequel character Jar Jar Binks is testing nuclear weapons in Iran.
You might remember The Drudge Report as the same stupid website that suggested Leonardo DiCaprio was raped by a bear in The Revenant. They might've just outdone themselves with this new post, though. The image is a composite of previous (and previously debunked) images that suggest nukes are being tested in Iran.
Why Drudge decided to include everyone's favourite wisecracking alien dude is anyone's guess. That said, we're just happy to see Jar Jar Binks getting some screen time after he was so cruelly left out of the most recent Star Wars movies.
Naturally, the Internet has been having a field day with Jar Jar's foray into nuclear warfare. Check out some tweets about the subject below.
