The Alex Jones effect: Man tells Rep. Moran that ‘Bohemians’ in Congress are linked to Hitler

During a call-in segment on C-SPAN’s Wasington Journal, a Florida man calling on the “independent” line said he had some questions about “what’s been going around on YouTube and just basically most of the conspiracy-wide Internet websites.”

“As a young individual, I’m 21 years of age and it came to me as kind of a shock that a lot of people are talking about, which are currently representatives of the government, who are supposed Bohemian participants,” the man explained. “How do you feel as a representative that our country is run by the same people that are in a group as are Adolf Hitler as was many listed? I’m not going to say name by name, but just from research I’ve found out on my own.”

“It’s just confusing me as a young kid in Florida struggling to provide for myself and my girlfriend,” he added.

At that point, C-SPAN terminated the call and gave Moran a chance to respond.

“I would suggest you might want to broaden your research somewhat, sir,” the Virginia Democrat advised. “I’m not sure I can follow all of the conclusions of your research.”
