The so-called 'Pizzagate' hoax is now affecting a Brooklyn restaurant.
The staff at Roberta's Pizza in Bushwick are getting death threats.
Police say last Thursday an employee answered the phone and was told, "you are going to bleed and be tortured."
This comes after a YouTube video was published that day linking Roberta's to a fake conspiracy claiming the restaurant played a key role in a child sex trafficking ring run by Hillary Clinton.
That story began circulating days before the election.
On Sunday, a North Carolina man who believed the fake story entered a pizzeria in Washington armed with a shotgun and an assault rifle.
He fired several rounds before surrendering peacefully to police.
No one was injured.
