In a post to his YouTube channel, Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones seemed to blamed the victims for the bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester this Monday, calling them a “bunch of trendies” who’ve “already run a white flag up to the black flag of Wahhabism.”
“Trump didn’t just sign a deal [with the Saudis] for $350 billion over the next decade,” Jones said near the outset of the video. “The first tranche — $105 billion to be paid out in the next year by Saudi Arabia and United States in an arms deal. He transferred to them linkage into a threat fusion center, the biggest in the world that’s been publicly shown.”
“So they’re transferred the weapons, they’re transferred the technology, they’re transferred access into the surveillance grid,” Jones continued. “And less than 24 hours after President Trump finishes [his speech to Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia], a big bomb goes off at a pop star’s rock concert bombing a bunch of liberal trendies. The same people — god love them — on average who are promoting open borders, bringing Islamists in.”
