This would be funny, were it not so sick: North Georgia’s U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, thinks conspiracy theorist and serial radio liar Alex Jones is being persecuted.
“[A]ll he did was speak words … That’s what freedom of speech is. Freedom to speak words. Political persecution must end.”
She’s talking about the Alex Jones who for years publicly claimed on his radio show, Infowars, that the 20 first-graders, six educators and a responding FBI agent murdered in 2012 at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school were all actors and the shooting was faked. He claimed the murdered children’s surviving and grieving families, too, were actors.
She’s talking about the Alex Jones who raised money — millions of dollars — on these and other lies.
She’s talking about the Alex Jones who himself persecuted those families — with these lies that led crazies to harass them.
