Infowars' Alex Jones ADMITS He Is FAKE NEWS And ACTING In Infowars Show In Lawsuit With Ex-Wife

The Alex Jones who told his legions of "Infowars" listeners that bogus stories about the U.S. government being behind the 9/11 attacks and about Hillary Clinton operating a pedophile ring out of a Washington D.C. pizza joint is really "a performance artist."

That's according to Jones' own lawyer — not the mainstream media that the right-wing radio jock derides as "fake news."

"He's playing a character" and is nothing like his online persona, attorney Randall Wilhite reportedly insisted in a Texas courtroom at a pre-trial hearing ahead of the right wing radio jock's custody battle with ex-wife Kelly Jones. Judging Jones by his Infowars performances would be like judging Jack Nicholson by his depiction of the Joker on "Batman," Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo last week, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

Kelly Jones is seeking sole or joint custody of her three children, ages 14, 12 and 9, with her ex-husband, an ardent supporter of President Trump who broadcasts from his Austin home. "He's not a stable person," she reportedly told the court. "He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin's neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped."

"I'm concerned that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress," she added, referring to Jones' recent comments about Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California. "He broadcasts from home. The children are there, watching him broadcast."

There was no immediate response to Kelly Jones' claims from Jones, 43, who is also known for pushing other widely discredited claims like the moon landing was faked and the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was staged. Meanwhile, lawyers for the warring Joneses began seating a jury in the Travis County courthouse for what's expected to be a contentious two-week hearing, court officials confirmed.

The couple divorced in 2015. Jones reportedly pays his ex-wife $43,000 per month, according to the Austin paper.

Jones' Infowars site was a hub for anti-Clinton conspiracies during the presidential campaign and Trump publicly thanked him for his support. "You reputation is amazing," Trump he said in December 2015. "I will not let you down." Wait…Alex Jones is an Actor?! Actually, He’s Not the Only One. Many people seemed to be delighted by the revelation that “right-wing” conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was forced to admit in a child custody battle that he is just a “performance artist” playing “a character” who doesn’t really believe all of the crazy things that he says. After all, it doesn’t get much more satisfying than when a fraud is forced to confess that is what they are in order to try to get something they want.

First, let’s stipulate that it is possible that Jones, through his lawyer, is actually lying about being a fraud. His ex-wife, who has an obvious incentive to take this stance, says that he really is just as nuts as the things he says make him appear to be. will say that if Jones is indeed an actor, he is an extremely good one. Though not as good as Jack Nicholson as “The Joker,” to whom his lawyer compares him in his legal filing.

Let’s also understand that Jones is in no way a “conservative” talk show host, at least in any rational sense. He is (or at least pretends to be) a conspiracy theorist who just happened to catch Donald Trump’s attention and then parlayed his Trump cheerleading into great notoriety and, presumably, income.

One of the many catastrophic mistakes that the Hillary Clinton campaign made was not making sure that every voter saw this ad before casting their ballots. The very close connection between Jones and our president is one of the most disturbing things, on a very long list, which should have disqualified Trump from ever holding that office, or even getting the Republican nomination.

As a former conservative talk show host, Jones pushes a lot of my personal buttons. I can’t stand conspiracy theorists, I loathe frauds, and I have disdain for anyone who sold out to help facilitate.
