Clinton video ties Trump to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
Source: The Hill
Hillary Clintons campaign attacked Donald Trump for his ties to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in a new video released Sunday.
The spot puts together a clip of Trump appearing on Joness show, hosted by his website Infowars, saying, I will not let you down. You will be very, very impressed, I hope, and I think well be speaking a lot.
It's followed by a series of clips of Jones saying that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, 9/11 was an inside job and that Clinton is a freaking demon who smells like sulfur.

Very effective campaign video. Especially since the video shows Jones floating the crazy theory, before the first debate, that Hillary will be on drugs for the debates --which Trump has been talking about so much lately -- and since it ends with Jones gloating over how "surreal" and "amazing" it is to hear his ideas echoed by Trump within days.

(82,025 posts)I freakin' HATE Alex Jones. He's nothing more than an insane half-cocked unspooled nogoodnik, just trying to stir shit up, and freak people out, and aim for the lizard-brain SEMI-consciousness, which only serves to bring out the ICK in everybody and everything. Just brings out the absolute scraped-bottom WORST in people. And gives it validity, and exposure. And makes it somehow okay.
People like him are HORRIBLE!

(1,544 posts)Alex Jones and his conspiracy-obsessed website InfoWars prompted a series of disruptions at pro-Clinton rallies this week by offering $5,000 to anyone who can be heard shouting Bill Clinton is a rapist.
During an event in Greensboro, NC, on Tuesday night, President Obama was bombarded by protesters who donned shirts with slogans accusing the ex-president of rape.
Not sure how this is not conspiracy to commit a criminal act....

(9,585 posts)it says, "suggested by The Briefing." What does this mean exactly? Will this run as an ad? Since it's over a minute long, is it just for the internet?
