Alex Jones Says NBC Should Pull Megyn Kelly Interview, Claims She 'Misrepresented' His Views

by Josh Feldman | 7:13 pm, June 12th, 2017

Alex Jones is responding to the online outcry over his interview with NBC News’ Megyn Kelly by… saying the interview should be pulled.

Kelly’s interview with Jones came under intense fire, especially given Jones’ conspiratorial views on the Sandy Hook mass shooting. A lot of people, including Sandy Hook parents, asked why Kelly would give him such a prominent platform and called on NBC to pull it.

Jones’ big complaint is that Kelly allegedly misrepresented his views on Sandy Hook. No, seriously.




See, apparently Kelly confronted him for saying in the past that no one died and it was a hoax. Jones denied saying that, even though he did.

He referred to a statement he gave months ago in which he said he has serious “questions” and also said, “I don’t know what really happened…. All I know is the official story of Sandy Hook has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.” He also said today ‘it’s just not appropriate” to air on Father’s Day.

Anyone buying this? Jones hasn't seen the final cut of the interview (has he?), so how does he know his views on Sandy Hook were misrepresented? Jones is trying to help out a buddy, making it look like Kelly took him to task. My guess (and it's only a guess, because I ain't watching that crapfest) is the Jones segment will be 13 minutes of Alex having a free run on a national platform, ending up with 10-15 seconds of Kelly acting shocked and pulling the frowniest face her immobile visage can manage.

He was all hot and horny in the run-up to the interview (musing if she would sit on his lap...) and just hated, demonized and lambasted her afterwards.

She can only make him look better. And I don't mean that as a criticism of her.

His big draw was that 9/11 was done by the government. Before that he was known for his Bohemian Grove conspiracy theories.

More recently he has furthered the birther conspiracy and the theory that Michelle Obama is a transexual. Just search for the word Obama in his channel and see all that crap pop up. Its all birther and transexual stuff.

This dude is a cretin, a clown, and an opportunist.

Remember Alex Jones' divorce trial? He was diagnosed with Narcisstic Personality Disorder and lost custody of his kids.

And he expects to be believed over Megyn Kelly?!
