Right Wing Watch:
Far-right radio host Alex Jones claimed [Sunday] that Hillary Clinton and comedian Jimmy Kimmel have directly threatened his life, warning viewers that if he were to die, it would be the work of the Clintons.
“Understand something, Hillary,” he said. “If anything happens to me, you and your controllers are the prime suspects. I know now you think you’re above the law, so why do you care? Maybe you want to send a message by getting rid of old Alex Jones?”
Jones was upset that Clinton mentioned Jones in her speech denouncing Donald Trump’s ties to the alt-right movement and conspiracy theorists and that Kimmel, who he suggested works for the New World Order and the Clinton family, made fun of him for his pickle jar conspiracy theory.
They’re all in on it. Jimmy Kimmel, the pickle people … everybody.
TWEET OF THE DAY
BLAST FROM THE PAST
At Daily Kos on this date in 2004—Romney's convention surprise:
Dan Rather helps build the hype:
Hot tip or just so much hot air?
Two individual Republican powers on separate occasions in the past 24 hours have said, on a "Don't quote me by name, but..." basis: "Keep your eyes and ears open for Mitt Romney's convention speech Wednesday night."
Romney is Governor of Massachusetts, generally described as a moderate Republican. He's also generally regarded as thirsting to run for president in 2008.
What, if anything, he might come forward with when he speaks to the Republican faithful here on Wednesday night is anybody's guess. When a reporter circulates among other Republicans asking, "What could it be, this 'Romney surprise'?" the most common response is: "Beats me."
