Do you really have to lie so transparently? You're not fooling anyone that you don't know anything about Alex Jones, because we all know you haven't been living under a rock for the past 10 years, because you are parroting so many current talking points that there is no way you never heard anything from or about Alex Jones. You sound exactly like Trump trying to deny he knew anything about the latest White Supremacists he retweeted or invited to Thanksgiving dinner. Everybody knows he's lying when he denies knowing somebody like that, and everybody knows you're lying too.
We all certainly know you're lying you when you claim that despite not knowing anything about Alex Jones, you just happen to know that nobody takes him seriously. How can you not know anything about him, yet know who takes him seriously and not? You certainly do know who takes him seriously and embraces him, and that includes you, despite your denials, and Donald Trump, who has given Jones interviews, invited Jones to speak at his rallies, and praised him with flattery like "Your reputation is amazing". Trump even invited Alex Jones to BROADCAST FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. That proves you're totally full of shit about nobody taking Jones seriously, and you know it.
So stop feigning ignorance and pretending that everyone doesn't know you're lying through your teeth. If you don't want people to know you embrace and take Alex Jones seriously, then stop parroting him and spreading his lies and covering for him.

How Alex Jones was embraced by Trump, Rogan years after Sandy Hook lies
In roughly 10 years since he declared the deadliest elementary school shooting in U.S. history to be a “giant hoax,” Infowars founder Alex Jones has been denounced and de-platformed by tech giants such as Facebook, YouTube and Spotify, and faced significant financial blows. The latest came Thursday when a jury ruled that Jones had to pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Sandy Hook mass shooting after he created a “living hell” for the family.
But as Jones’s false claims and rants launched him into the national political dialogue, his ascent has arguably been solidified, thanks to Donald Trump and Joe Rogan embracing Jones and endorsing his ideas to online audiences of millions of people in recent years.
Jones’s 2015 interview with Trump offered a window into some of the future president’s talking points at his rallies.
“Your reputation is amazing,” Trump told Jones at the time.

Tell the White House: Don't welcome Sandy Hook deniers!
Alex Jones and his colleagues at Infowars have spent years insulting and dismissing the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School as a “hoax” and the work of “crisis actors.” They’ve propagated conspiracy theories aimed at dismissing the pain of parents who have lost their children. And they’ve pushed other theories which have led to actual incidents of gun violence perpetrated by fanatical listeners and viewers.
Any one of those things should be enough to keep Jones and Infowars out of the White House briefing room. Together, they are unimpeachable evidence that they don’t belong.
But Donald Trump’s White House press office still issued them a pass, legitimizing the offensive and frankly dangerous rhetoric Infowars spreads. And on Monday, Infowars broadcast from inside the White House.
Join us in calling on the White House to deny any future applications made by Infowars for press passes and credentials which would allow them access to the White House.

Alex Jones and Donald Trump: A Fateful Alliance Draws Scrutiny
The Infowars host tormented Sandy Hook families and helped elect President Donald J. Trump. His role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack is now of growing interest to congressional investigators.

WASHINGTON — The day President Donald J. Trump urged his supporters to “be there, will be wild!” at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Alex Jones spread the message to millions.
“This is the most important call to action on domestic soil since Paul Revere and his ride in 1776,” Mr. Jones, the Infowars broadcaster, said on his Dec. 19, 2020, show, which airs live online and on a network of radio stations. Mr. Jones, whose lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting fueled years of threats against the 26 victims’ families, urged his listeners to take action.
A little more than two weeks later, Mr. Jones joined his followers at the Capitol as a behind-the-scenes organizer — a crucial role in the riot that is under increasing scrutiny by congressional investigators.

I guess you're living the golden rule then, aren't you? > We all certainly know you're lying you when you claim that despite not knowing anything about Alex Jones Look in the mirror buddy. Just about everything I've seen you write is a lie or misleading. You're not worth any more of my time.
- DonHopkins 4y agoNotice how you didn't address the fact that you know very well that Trump supports and embraces Alex Jones, yet you lied about it. Edit: You certainly know that now, whether or not you were totally ignorant about it before (which I simply don't believe), because I just proved it to you with several citations and quotes so you don't have to take my word for it, and now you are incapable of countering that proof, so all you proved was that you're not arguing in good faith by simply calling me a liar and not bothering to say what I said was a lie, or refute any of my arguments. Your Sgt. Schultz "I Know Nothing!!! Nothing!!!" Defense doesn't convince anyone, and just beclowns you and amuses me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HblPucwN-m0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HblPucwN-m0 If you can refute any of my arguments, then do so, but by refusing to address and counter any of my specific points or provide any proof of your insanely ignorant claims, and just arguing in bad faith and calling me a liar, you've just proven my point. You're not going to convince anyone that all those videos of Alex Jones at the January 6 Insurrection Rally were computer generated and he was just sitting at home all that time. But don't bother trying, because as histrionic and incoherent and disingenuous as you are, there's no chance in hell you can win this argument you've already lost many times over in every thread, since you're simply and absolutely wrong, foaming at the mouth batshit crazy, and nobody could possibly believe you. You need to get help for your mental and emotional and honesty problems, not spend your time screaming and lying at people on the internet.
- PathOfEclipse 4y ago> Notice how you didn't address the fact that you know very well that Trump supports and embraces Alex Jones I didn't know that and I still don't know that. I certainly wouldn't take your word for it. You have to be the most dishonest person I've engaged with in a long time, and that's really saying something.
