Specifically, the Washington Examiner, in regard to Trump and Russia:

22 July 2016, 9:55 am Where the Heck Did the Term 'Collusion' Come From?

Ninety minutes later, ABC News picked up the word.

12:35 PM Bernie Sanders' campaign manager picks up the meme on CNN with Jake Tapper.

It all comes out of a teLIEvision.

Politics do not save souls, the gospel does.

Matthew 4:8-:
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

There are people on this forum saying it was the conservasphere that started the meme. This refutes that.

You haven’t checked out the Washington Examiner lately, have you? That’s conservasphere central.

While i don't trust the Washington Examiner to get the facts correct, it was my recollection that it was generally the left-leaning media that first pushed the collusion narrative. The right wing media countered by pushing the claim that the Mueller investigation was solely about collusion.
