Fresh from Defamation Defeat, Alex Jones Is Already Promoting Similar Conspiracy Theories
Texas-based conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was fresh from the courtroom, where a jury ruled that he must pay millions of dollars to parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook mass shooting for spreading lies about them, when he jumped at the chance to circulate similar conspiracy theories.
On a livestream at his InfoWars website Thursday, Jones warned of a supposedly Democrat-led plot to stage mass shooting hoaxes and even assassinate former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
“I believe the deep state, they’d kill Biden, which we’re totally against happening, as a pretext to really try to trigger a civil war, and/or Trump,” Jones said on a livestream on his show. “They might actually kill both of them.”
The comments were in response to the FBI's execution of a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida, residence on Monday. On Thursday's broadcast, Jones echoed claims he and former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon had made on Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic podcast on Monday.
