Alex Jones: Florida school shooting was “the perfect false flag”: “A white nationalist attacking a multicultural school as a way to make the leftists all look like victims”

ALEX JONES (HOST): Wow, we said the perfect false flag would be a white nationalist attacking a multicultural school as a way to make the leftists all look like victims and bring in gun control and a war on America’s recovery and now right on time what we’ve been warning of, their main card, the thing we said was imminent, appears with all the evidence.

Meet Alex Jones, Donald Trump's Favorite Conspiracy Theorist

Donald Trumps first address to the United States Congress was lauded as a teleprompter triumph and a display of a kinder, gentler president. After taking arrows for ignoring the resurgence of anti-Semitic events in the United States, Trump opened his speech by denouncing hate and evil, explicitly mentioning the threats against Jewish centers.

Mere hours before, though, Trump suggested to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro that the post-election string of anti-Jewish bomb threats and cemetery vandalisms could be a false-flag, perpetrated by Trump opponents to make the president look bad.

That is just the latest statement made by Trump parroting or channeling right-wing commentators or conspiracy theorists - in this case, Alex Jones. Jewish leaders, such as Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, were appalled.

Alex Jones, 43, has been on the air for over 20 years. He began his radio career in 1996, aged 22, in Austin, Texas, with spreading conspiracy theories, including that the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was actually perpetrated by the U.S. government - what has become known as a false-flag attack. Today Jones has an eponymous program, The Alex Jones Show, which like his website and YouTube channel InfoWars, has attracted record traffic in the Trump era.
