Donald Trump Jr. Tweets Link to Alex Jones Website - a Ludicrous Fake Story, of Course

Like father, like son

So today, the son of the Republican candidate for president of the US, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted a link to the website of Alex Jones — the conspiracy-mongering lunatic who thinks 9/11 was an inside job and the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and all the victims’ families are “crisis actors.”

How did Trump Jr. happen across this link, you ask? He actually follows Alex Jones on Twitter:

The article at Infowars is a ludicrous hack job intended to discredit the Democratic Convention, about a random guy who thinks the DNC is paying people to attend. Here’s his evidence for this assertion:

In the clip, the delegate says that he got to the convention between 5-6pm and the place was virtually empty but that it suspiciously filled up very quickly.

“Every seat in the house is full – so those seat fillers you guys were hearing about? It’s real, they’re in here now,” states the delegate.

That’s the kind of “proof” that makes Infowars what it is — a ridiculous website full of conspiracy theories and BS designed to bilk an audience of irrational right wing chowderheads. Not to put too fine a point on it.

It really ought to disturb everyone that Donald Trump Jr., who is playing a very large role in his father’s campaign, apparently believes this is a credible enough source to share it publicly on Twitter. But Alex Jones is deeply connected with the Trump campaign, and Trump himself actually appeared on Jones’ radio show and praised him. It still amazes me that the GOP’s candidate for president associates with someone this insane, and nobody even blinks at it.

(P.S. At some point after we exposed Trump Jr.’s connections to several white supremacists, he blocked us on Twitter.)
