Clinton Shoe Thrower Apparently Conspiracy Theorist Obsessed With Aurora Shooter
The woman who threw a shoe a Hillary Clinton Thursday night in Las Vegas appears to the be same woman who interrupted the court proceedings of James Holmes and filed a motion to have the confessed Aurora, Colorado theater shooter released from jail.
Alison Michelle Ernst was arrested Thursday after sneaking past security to throw a soccer cleat at Clinton during the former secretary of state’s speech to an industry association in the city. The shoe missed its target, and Clinton laughed off the would-be attack unharmed.
In August of 2012, a woman of the same name and age was removed from a courtroom in Colorado after interrupting Holmes’s court appearance, saying she had evidence to exonerate the suspect. The Secret Service and Clark County District Attorney’s Office could not confirm Ernst’s identity when contacted by the National Journal, by the New York Post reports that Colorado officials confirmed it is the same Alison Michelle Ernst.
