Alex Jones claims he funded rally that led to Capitol chaos

He also claimed that the White House asked him to lead the March on the Capitol.
This was an organized assault that require Nurenberg Trials where all of them are tried collectively because they are all hiding behind the 1st amendment.

He is a delusional liar. He might be making all of this up. In either case, this does seem to warrant an FBI visit.

Scary shit.

“Thank God a donor came in and paid like 80 percent of it,” he went on. “Because it cost close to half a million dollars, with all the equipment, all the stages and the rest of it. Port-a-Potties, you name it.”

Jones did not name the anonymous benefactor — but he did shed light on an initial plan to have the Secret Service escort Jones through the gathered Trump supporters so he could head a procession to the Capitol.


Isn't there gift tax due on this?
