Alex Jones Running Scared After FBI Mentions Infowars In Pizzagate Shooting (VIDEO)


Alex Jones lives for conspiracy theories; they’re his bread and butter. And #pizzagate was just too juicy for him to deny. That is, until a man almost killed some innocent people at the pizzeria in question. Now Jones is going about scrubbing his website and Facebook account of incriminating information related to the manufactured scandal.

Of course, the internet remembers these things.

Criminal Complaint Mentions Infowars Article

Conspiracy theories have made Alex Jones a wealthy man, but what happens when a false story results in real gunfire?

On December 4, Edgar Maddison Welch took it upon himself to “self-investigate” the #pizzagate “scandal” by walking into Comet Pizza and firing a rifle at innocent employees. Luckily, no one was killed or injured in the shooting.

The FBI’s criminal complaint states that Welch told a friend to watch a video about the conspiracy theory just days before the shooting.

Guess who used that headline?

Jones’ website is now being cleared of content related to #pizzagate, though some — like the tweet above — remain intact (as of this writing, that is).

MediaMatters reports:

“Jones and Infowars appear to be scrubbing commentary about pizzagate. Jones’ YouTube channel posted a November 23 video headlined ‘Pizzagate Is Real: Something Is Going On, But What?’ The video has since ‘been removed by the user,’ though it’s not clear when.

The video has been re-uploaded by other conspiracy theorists (some of whom speculated about why Jones deleted it). During the video, Jon Bowne states that Clinton allies are ‘using a code to communicate child sex trafficking as casually as ordering a pizza.’ The video then states that Comet Ping Pong ‘may be competing for the lucrative Washington, D.C., pedophile market right out in the open.’

Jones promoted the video on his Facebook account but has since deleted the post. Infowars also deleted a November 27 article by Bowne that promoted the video.”

Jones is also trying to separate himself, at least somewhat, from the fake news he’s spread on his radio show and website, as well as push the idea that the shooting never really happened.

It’s Conspiracy Theorist Rhetoric 101 – “I’m Just Asking The Questions.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Alex Jones and his insane theories have led to violence. But Jones just keeps on pushing his crap.

And the president-elect LOVES him.
