Boner Candidate #1: PLEASE DONALD HELP. THEY’RE OUT TO GET ME.

Now that Alex Jones has been banned from YouTube, Facebook and iTunes, the right-wing conspiracy theorist is reaching out for help from the president himself. On Monday, Jones begged Donald Trump to help him get back on the social media platforms with a monologue that alternately praised the president while claiming that the social media ban is part of a globalist conspiracy against him. At no time did Jones mention the reason the websites gave for permanently removing him: because he violated policies on graphic violence and hate speech. Instead, Jones blamed globalists and the Chinese. He also suggested that Trump make the ban against him a major campaign issue in 2018, according to this transcript by Media Matters: ″If you come out before the midterms and make the censorship the big issue of them trying to steal the election.

Mr. Smith should rescind it and apologize immediately.” Smith defended the ad in an interview with the Courier-Journal, saying the bodies don’t represent people, but rather show the Spencer County system, with which he is frustrated.
