Idiot Paul Joseph Watson Infowars Idiot Offers To Pay Journalists To Go To Sweden And They ACCEPT

Paul Joseph Watson is editor over at Infowars and he went quickly to defend Trump citing a fake terror attack in Sweden that DID NOT occur. Paul Joseph Watson is a complete idiot and he epicly failed on Twitter. Paul Joseph Watson sent out a tweet saying that he will fund and pay for journalists trips over to Sweden to check it out because it is so dangerous there. The funny thing is that sweden has 50% less violence than the city in Florida that Trump gave his rally speech in. Many journalists accepted Paul Joseph Watson's Offer but seemingly they did not get funded to go to Sweden because he didn't have the intention of funding these journalists! Many journalists said that they love sweden and that they want to go there! But, seemingly Paul Joseph Watson did not pay up to fund their trips. Paul Joseph Watson and Infowars are complete idiots. An editor for Alex Jones’ InfoWars website was buried in mockery after journalists eagerly accepted his offer to pay for their trip to a Swedish city identified by President Donald Trump as a hotbed for terrorists. Paul Joseph Watson, the British conservative blogger and editor-at-large for InfoWars, dared journalists to accept his offer to visit the “crime ridden migrant suburbs of Malmo — and he appeared to be surprised when dozens took him up on his offer. Any journalist claiming Sweden is safe; I will pay for travel costs & accommodation for you to stay in crime ridden migrant suburbs of Malmo @PrisonPlanet - let us know when we can make this work. Excited to have your backing.

@PrisonPlanet I accept your offer. My DM's are open. Hey @PrisonPlanet my go bag is ready…. Did you purchase my ticket and hotel? @DustinGiebel I am still waiting for my money @PrisonPlanet. How do we proceed? I love Sweden

Things only got worse when Watson attempted to clarify the terms of his offer, along with some photos he thought might be scary.

Watson was buried in mockery after trying to rewrite the terms of his offer, and adding some random photos he apparently thought would scare his critics, but in the end paid out $2,000 to a hand-picked journalist to report from Malmo. aul Joseph Watson, provocateur-in-chief at ‘alt-right’ and conspiracy site Infowars, has had his offer to pay journalists to experience the ‘crime ridden’ reality of life in Sweden taken up by hundreds of reporters.

The Brit, who has amassed thousands of followers on Twitter and YouTube, made the pricey pledge in the wake of flawed comments from US President Donald Trump, who referenced a fictitious terrorist attack in the Nordic country over the weekend. But in defiance of the facts, Watson wrote on Monday: “Any journalist claiming Sweden is safe; I will pay for travel costs & acommodation for you to stay in crime ridden migrant suburbs of Malmo”.

Watson, whose videos include “Dear Virtue Signalling Celebrities: it’s time to put up or shut the f*ck up”, appeared to attempt to silence those claiming Sweden is safe. Yet since offering the expenses-paid trip to journalists, Watson has been remarkably quiet and has yet to respond publicly to the many dozens of replies accepting his offer.

However, Watson did respond more generally, writing: “All you lefty idiots accepting a ‘trip to Sweden’. Can you read? I said you’d be staying here. Good luck. 😆”.

Trump’s comments were based on a now widely-challenged Fox News report which said crime in Sweden had skyrocketed as the country welcomed asylum seekers.

Yet, as Swedish tabloid Aftenbladet reported, reports from 2015 shows that deadly violence decreased over time in Sweden. The number of reported abuse cases was 85,100 in 2015, an increase of two percent compared with 2014.

Aftenbladet also noted that the Swedish government does not record the ethnicity of those involved in crime. Much of the data can’t help us understand the true effect of recent migration to Sweden. Some 162,000 people lodged asylum applications in Sweden in 2015, according to the Swedish.
