Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.
Donald Trump, the former reality show host turned Republican presidential nominee, uttered those very words to Alex Jones during an appearance on the round Texan’s Infowars program in December. Jones—for the blissfully uninitiated—is an alt-right conspiracy theorist who believes the United States government was behind the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11th attacks, and is poisoning our drinking water in order to turn American citizens gay. He is also, by his own admission, a close advisor to candidate Trump.
Jones's most despicable theory is his belief that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged. On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 young children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
“Sandy Hook is a synthetic completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured,” said Jones on the January 13, 2015, edition of his radio show. “I couldn’t believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors.” (There is absolutely no evidence to support this odious claim.)
Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, condemned his disturbing alliance with Jones in an August 25 speech targeting the alt-right, along with an anti-Trump ad released by the Clinton campaign on October 16.
