Alex Jones says he paid $500,000 for rally that led to Capitol riot

Infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said his media company paid for the rally in Washington DC on 6 January that preceded the ill-fated insurrection at the US Capitol.

Mr Jones explained his involvement in a video he posted from Washington DC on the day of the riots.

"When I tell you this, it's not to brag about my connection to this embattled president," he said. "No one would book the Ellipse, no one would book the other areas. No one would pay for it. We went and paid for it."

Mr Jones said that 80 per cent of the money used in the bookings was provided by a donor.

This is the same criminal bunch, but this was taken in Georgia last year!
I saw this on another one of the Twitter investigative groups because they were following the Ali Alexander, the other guy there.

9. Good. The FBI probably has him on the "no fly" list so he can't flee the country.
