Last week, radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones interviewed Roger Stone, the longtime adviser and confidant of Donald Trump, about the recent death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Stone, who has served as a go-between for Jones and Trump, was happy to engage in speculation surrounding the justice’s death, just as the GOP frontrunner himself has.
When Jones, who has insisted that Scalia was assassinated and warned that Trump may be next, brought up the “red flags” surrounding the justice’s death, Stone mentioned the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
“I don’t think any of us are claiming foul play, we’d like to rule out foul play, but common sense dictates that there’d be some investigation and some autopsy to make sure this wasn’t another coup d’état,” he said. “We’ve had coups d’état in this country. We had one on November 22nd, 1963, we had another one at the time of Watergate, this could very well be another coup d’état.”
Stone also took time to explain that the New York Daily News has been critical of Trump because its owner, Mort Zuckerman, is “a very short guy, he has no luck with women and he’s very, very jealous of Donald Trump, who is tall, handsome and has the most beautiful wife on the planet.”
Later, Jones hailed Trump as “a hero” who is “under amazing danger” due to a grand plot involving the Vatican, Washington and Wall Street.
“I am so glad I back Trump,” he said. “He’s the real deal. There’s no way he’s an establishment scammer. I can look at their body language, they are crapping their pants, Mr. Stone, and for a lack of a better term, they are scared to death like vampires being hauled out at high noon. I am really concerned about Donald Trump right now. I’m not fear-mongering. I think he’s the most under-threat man on earth right now.”
