YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAlex Jones loves to rant about why we have to elect Donald Trump president. It may involve aliens. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"HILLARY CLINTON: Through it all, he has continued pushing discredited conspiracy theories with racist undertones. You remember he said that thousands of American Muslims in New Jersey cheered the 9/11 attacks. They didn't. He suggested that Senator Ted Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination. Now perhaps in Trump's mind, because Mr. Cruz was a Cuban immigrant, he must have had something to do with it. And there is absolutely, of course, no evidence of that. Just recently Trump claimed that President Obama founded ISIS, and he has repeated that over and over again. His latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. And all I can say is, Donald, dream on.
But, my friends, this is what happens when you treat the National Enquirer like gospel. They said in October I'd be dead in six months. It's also what happens when you listen to the radio host Alex Jones, who claims that 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombings were inside jobs. He even said -- and this really just is so disgusting -- he even said the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre were child actors, and no one was actually killed there. I don't know what happens in somebody's mind or how dark their heart must be to say things like that. But Trump doesn't challenge these lies. He actually went on Jones' show and said, "your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.””*
