Paul was furious after the game, leaving his postgame presser early in an effort not to get fined and then voiced his frustration with what happened in the stands on Twitter, as we learned Mavs fans put their hands on his family behind the Suns bench. It wasn’t clear exactly what had happened, but Paul was understandably upset and on Monday the Mavericks offered a statement following their investigation into the incident.
Per the team, the two fans in question had tried to give “unwanted hugs” to the Paul family and engage them in conversation, and would not be allowed to return to the arena until 2023 (which isn’t a particularly long ban).

“Unwanted hugs” is certainly a new one when it comes to explaining an incident in the stands, and whatever the intent, that’s still unacceptable behavior towards a player’s family — and it’s hard to imagine it was as innocent as this statement makes it seem given Paul had just fouled out so there wasn’t any reason to believe the Paul family would want any kind of hug or contact in that moment. Those fans will not be back at Mavs games this year, although it can be debated as to whether this is a stern enough punishment to deter future incidents of the kind.
When Bob Saget suddenly and unexpectedly died in a Florida hotel room in early January, tributes quickly poured in, so beloved was he as a comic, a TV star, and a filmmaker. Indeed, people are so passionate about sharing their love for Saget that a Netflix special dedicated to his legacy will be ready to watch less than six months after he passed.
It’s called A Tribute to Bob Saget, and its existence was revealed during last week’s Netflix is a Joke festival. As per Deadline, the special consists of an event held after his death populated by friends and family. Among those present were his Full House co-star John Stamos, as well as the likes of Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Jeff Ross, and John Mayer. The special will drop on Netflix on June 10.
The cause of Saget’s death took a while to be made public. About a month after his passing, it was revealed that it was the result of head trauma he endured while alone in his hotel room after a stand-up set. It was later revealed that his injuries may have been even worse than initially reported.
Saget enjoyed an incredible double life. To many, he was a warm sitcom father figure and jovial host of a show comprised of wacky videos filmed by everyday people. By night, he was one of the bluest comics in the scene. Indeed, the eulogy delivered by his longtime pal and colleague John Stamos managed to be both touching and appropriately filthy.
Somewhere amid all of that action in the Octagon was a brief bit of wildness outside of it. A woman attending the event in Phoenix had enough liquid encouragement (and the goading of fans around her with cell phones out to capture it all) to decide it was a good idea to rush the Octagon and try to climb the cage. This was a great idea for all of five seconds, as she hopped over the railing, ran up to the Octagon, and got quickly discarded by security as soon as she jumped up to the apron, never even reaching the cage.

Rushing the field at a sporting event is never a good idea, but it’s hard to imagine a worse place to try and get into than a UFC Octagon, where people are literally trained to knock you out if you succeed on getting in there. It’s not much better than running on a football field, where a player might lay you out, and honestly this woman probably is lucky security gave her such a casual discard as she made her way up the apron. Whatever the bet was here, it was not worth it, and the lesson as always is to enjoy events from your seat rather than trying to make yourself a part of the action, because the only thing waiting for you by the field/ring/octagon is pain.
Killer Mike, one half of Run The Jewels and recent Ozark star, has long been a vocal advocate of marijuana — both as a medicine and as a creative tool that has helped pull his mile-a-minute mind in focus. Which made him a natural fit to host Weedmaps’ excellent new docuseries, Tumbleweeds. The four-part docuseries follows Killer Mike as he explores the unique cannabis cultures of Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago and chops it up with comedians, cannabis advocates, and business owners in an effort to paint cannabis legalization in a more positive light by showing how weed can tie communities together.
Tumbleweeds is a fun watch that remains as entertaining as it is educational, much of that thanks to Killer Mike’s personality — which can turn from jovial to intensely thoughtful on a dime. We experienced this first hand when we linked up with the rapper and activist to discuss the series, weed policy, restitution for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who helped popularize marijuana in the United States, and some radical (but necessary) efforts that states can — and should — make as we steadily march toward federal legalization.
Check out the full discussion below and be sure to catch the final episode of Tumbleweeds on May 8th or all four parts on May 15th on VICE TV and Vice TV Streaming apps.

Something I really like and appreciate about the new series is that it takes what has been a familiar and frankly racist framework — this idea that “pot destroys communities” — and kind of flips that on its head to show how cannabis can be an integral part of communities. Was that the intention going in? Or was it more about exploring the unique cultures of each respective city?
I think it was all of that at one time. I think the best entertainer in the circus is the juggler. I think that when you can show the interconnectivity between things, the better. Not only do we show that pot is a healer, but pot also helps with PTSD, we show pot from an artistic perspective in the museum. We got an opportunity, we got a chance to show that pot smokers are normal regular human beings leading normal regular lives who use this plant versus other medicines.
We got a chance to show that local businesses that grow around pot — whether it was pizza or candy or fine dining — we got an opportunity to really see the interconnectedness of it all. If you look at pot culture from a pot smoker’s perspective, like say the Rastafarians, pot has been used in a bunch of different things. Everything from using hemp to create tools and papers to smoking marijuana, using it in religious rituals and things, so I think that the stoner community already knew that pot exists or cannabis exists in a lot of different places for a lot of different reasons.
What to me was the curveball but I really thought was interesting was adding comedians. Comedians… they take our pain and make us laugh at it and that brings joy. But they’re very, very observational… and usually very smart in some capacity, and I really enjoyed the conversations that I had with comedians.
I enjoyed going to local businesses, and enjoyed meeting the advocates too, but getting the chance to meet people who make people smile for a living and who are users of pot really was an interesting curveball that got thrown in, so it didn’t get too serious. It didn’t get too heavy. It didn’t get too long or instructional. Really remained fun from start to finish.
Is there anything you would say that you learned in this process that you didn’t know of beforehand?
Damn near too much shit to list. What I really enjoyed was talking to — and I’m sorry, I can’t remember her name [Charissa Jackson], “pot does rob the memory,” Kris Kristofferson said that. This young lady was a veteran and an advocate for veterans’ rights around PTSD and pot. I have a sincere reverence for people who’ve served in our US military. It’s not like I want a war machine marching across the earth but any young person who signs up from 18 to 22 and gives part of their life, a very young, whimsical part of their life… They give that to the United States military. I believe they shouldn’t have to pay interest on a home loan. I believe they should be first in line for lower taxes. I really have a reverence for them.
So to see someone give a damn about veterans in a way that made her an advocate for marijuana usage. Someone that’s helping on the Hill, helping Washington come to their senses about medicine via the cannabis plant versus appeal with the VA meant a lot to me.
Fab Five Freddy and the brother that moved from, I think it was down in Louisiana, who had served 13 years I believe for two joints. You have to understand, Fab Five Freddy in my life has been an art teacher, and music director. He has introduced me to culture and this is just from a kid watching him prior to MTV and MTV. But to see him now as an advocate and an ally in terms of pushing legalization or decriminalization were two things I can really say I walked away from the interview much smarter from and much more determined to help normalize cannabis in this country.
Why were the cities of Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago the cities settled on in the series? As someone who was born and raised in and around Southern California’s cannabis culture, I actually appreciate how you skipped over Los Angeles, which I feel gets too much of the spotlight.
Los Angeles is a hell of a city but Northern California still has better weed. I just got to be frank about that. Shoutout to Satellite OG, shoutout to Berner and Cookies, shout out to Lemonade, shoutout to a few other brands that I’ve smoked great weed from but those hippies in Northern California sure know what the fuck they’re doing.
Illinois as a state is lightyears ahead of the state I’m in, Georgia, and I thought Illinois decriminalizing and making use for recreational use was brilliant. Chicago was dope in terms of the artwork that I got to see there. It was dope in terms of comedy and it was dope in terms of having some fire bud in that motherfucker, I gotta be frank,
Vegas… in my opinion, gambling doesn’t want anything to get too in a way of gambling, some of the restrictions were a little tighter for me, a little more uncomfortable until you got into shops. Once you got into the shops, the people were amazing, the way they educated you about the brands was amazing. But in terms of the laws, you can tell that Vegas is not going to let cannabis and prostitution compete with gambling.
When I was walking back into the casino, I remember one of the doormen, he was a young Black guy, he walked to me and said, “Mike, I’m not tripping on you but I’m gonna tell you sometimes they trip on guys who come in with the Cookies bags and whatnot so next time just put it into your bookbag” and I was like “oh, shit.”
The casinos really don’t want you so high that you can’t leave your room, they need you out there pulling that slot machine.
New York is much more conservative than I thought it would be. I can literally buy weed right on the corner in front of the store where we were eating CBD chocolates. But yet it hasn’t made it inside the store. But they don’t trip about you standing around smoking weed, so I’m not tripping on that, but I’d like for them to get a little more progressive.
SF is just the capital of marijuana in my mind. If you’re not talking Amsterdam, you’re talking Northern California. When I’m in Amsterdam, they ask you for Northern California seeds. So shouts out to Northern Cali because that’s just the best OG Kush in the world.

In the past, you’ve mentioned that BIPOC deserve a considerable share of the marijuana industry for helping to popularize it. Agreed, can you tell us how you envision that specifically?
I would envision it the same way politicians who envision bullshit laws that allow six licenses for a whole state would envision it. If Georgians are made up of 35% Black people, then 35% of the licenses should go to Black people. And those Black people should have to partner because you’ve got the Black bourgeoisie, being from Atlanta I’m gonna tell you, you got Black Republicans, you got Black bourgeoisie, Black circles that want to keep it in there. You should have to partner with someone convicted of a marijuana felony. Now that’s radical, and that’s some American shit because we were started by a group of motherfuckers who didn’t want to pay taxes.
What I would say is you would have to partner with say a group of Black money or capital investors, they would have to partner with a former Kingpin and then I would bring in business mediators and help those people build the industry from the ground up and I would allow those licenses to be free-flowing and not be so constricted that no one else could make it into the market.
Our first Black mayor was a man named Maynard Jackson and Maynard Jackson made it so that if you wanted a city contract with the city of Atlanta, at least 29% of your company had to be black or people of color. So all of a sudden you saw businesses opening up partnerships and opening up subcontractors and things of that nature and it grew a Black working class and middle class and it gave us 60 years of successful mayors, our economy has grown, even through this COVID thing, our economy is great.
I’m only speaking locally because I do my work locally — 35% of these motherfuckers Black? 35% of licenses should be Black! They should have to partner with people convicted of marijuana convictions, and in terms of dispensaries, there damn sure should be an unlimited amount you put out there. You should be able to open up a dispensary with the minimal amount of shelf, you shouldn’t have to have $150,000 liquid and no shit like that you should be able to open up a dispensary if you’re an old lady, you grow your plants and you sell it curbside like a lemonade stand in the summer.
…If you can’t tell I put a little thought into this.
You mentioned some states and they all approach cannabis differently. In your opinion, what state is really doing it right and how can others do it better? Aside from what you just laid out, of course.
I like what Illinois did going straight to recreational — I don’t think they did the hump of a strict medical thing first. I like how Colorado was putting money back into the school systems and improving the school system. I don’t think we have had the best version yet. Because we do not have the right people advising. We need people convicted of marijuana convictions at the table with lawmakers making the law, it should not just be conglomerates and lobbyists or corporations that want to get into medical now.
It should be Black farmers who have been for the last 80 and 100 years cut out of many industries in this country. It should be people who were victims, people you would call Kingpins of bullshit drug laws, many of which our current president helped to instate. It should be those people at the table and it should be common folk, recreational marijuana users helping to shape the laws that are going to go forward. We should not be restrictive like the prohibition was with liquor, we should not only allow four, five, or six licenses and we should not cut and carve regions so that only politicians and their friends, or companies get them, we should make it less restrictive.
We should have less licensing in terms of keeping a tight hold on the money that gets sucked into taxes. We should make it from day one, the time you open your dispensary, the time you get your first dollar for a marijuana sale, you should be able to bank in the United States. You should be able to put that money in a bank, it is a shame that people who run dispensaries have to worry about robbery, have to worry about seizures, have to worry about ATF, and the alphabet boys because they simply cannot bank. So all those I would bring to the table and I would put a particular interest in Black banks like my bank Greenwood, like Citizens Trust Bank, like Carver — I’d put a particular interest in Latino banks because who were the people used to villainize marijuana? Black people and Mexicans.
I’d try to make some restitution by providing opportunity. I’d allow the people to shape the laws on the ground to be everyone from everyday stoners and smokers that go to work to people that have served long, lengthy marijuana sentences for kingpin drug laws. I’d bring people who are already in the industry as outlaws the people who are growing and people going against the government now and choosing to do it in terms of helping the free, I’d make sure the people who’ve been involved in NORML for the last 40 years have a seat at the table and get an opportunity to talk.
It’s time for the people that use marijuana to make the rules for marijuana and not the other way around.

I know you’re a fan of indica strains, I’m just curious, what about indicas appeal to you particularly?
I’m naturally hyper — my mind naturally is moving on 100 different things at 100 miles per hour 100 times a day. And indicas allow me a very dense body high, and even cerebral, that allows me to focus in on one or two things that I need to get done. Even when I go for my walks in the morning or running around the gym, with a indica high by the time I realize I’m in pain the workout is almost over.
Although sativas are credited with being cerebral, I think if you’re a person whose mind moves a lot that indicas are great for you because they put you at calm. When I wake up in the morning and do breathing exercises or yoga or tai chi or whatever the fuck my wife has me doing, it’s cool to take a couple of puffs off one of these [gestures to the lit joint in his hand] and settle myself and not think about the other things that are going on.
And that the grandfather of it all, that OG Kush — I like to smoke it. Curren$y’s a big fan of it. There’s just nothing that’s as mellow and cool. Indicas fulfill the stereotype of marijuana being a thing that puts you in a very cool vibe, you know what I mean? It’s one of the reasons I love it.
And just as my last question, I’m curious– and you kind of alluded to it a little bit just now — if you could take us through your typical smoking ritual.
I get up and roll three of these a day. I wake and bake, I get up and do my walks, or I do the tai chi or yoga stuff. I smoke about a quarter of this and then when I’m done with that, I’ll finish the other three quarters over the process of the next two hours or so. I’ll grab food in the afternoon, I try to wait to eat till about 12 or 1 now. Usually, after I’m done with that one my wife starts moving around, we’ll share one, go have lunch, talk about the day, and do some business.
That will hold me until say about 5 or 6, just do whatever, kick it with the kids. If I have a late meeting or something I hold it and usually I smoke the last one right before I leave wherever I’m going or I’ll sit in the driveway, look at the stars on my truck bed and smoke the other half and that was my three grams for the day.
Last month, Stephen Colbert tested positive for COVID. At least it was good timing: The Late Show was already slated to air re-runs the following week anyway, meaning they only had to cancel one taping. But on Monday, the show’s host experienced symptoms associated with a COVID recurrence, necessitating another, longer break.
Stephen is experiencing symptoms consistent with a recurrence of COVID. Out of an abundance of caution for his staff, guests, and audience, he will be isolating for a few additional days. The Late Show will not be taping new episodes until further notice.
As per The Late Show’s Twitter feed, Colbert was going to isolate from the show’s staff, guests, and audience “for a few additional days.” It’s unclear how long he’ll be out, but new episodes will not be taped, they said, “until further notice.”
As per Deadline, Monday’s show was to feature Sarah Silverman, Shaquille O’Neal, and a musical performance by Sharon Van Etten. Other guests scheduled for this week include Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Tracy Letts, Jean Smart, Hugh Dancy, Jake Tapper, Beach House, Ken Jeong, and Regina Spektor.
At least Colbert tried to find the humor in his latest health scare, calling it the “Worst. Sequel. Ever.”
After first testing positive for the virus, Colbert returned on May 2, and he proceeded to do what he does best: find jokes about the numerous terrifying things happening in the world right now. (Or just make fun of Tucker Carlson.) For instance, his return coincided with the leaked draft from Justice Samuel Alito, revealing that the Supreme Court were likely on the verge of overturning Roe v. Wade. Colbert made sure to drag Republican lawmaker Susan Collins, whom he called a “gullible grandma” for actually believing all three of the justices Trump put on the bench would not overturn the decades-old ruling.
Hackers refused to let delusional warmongerVladimir Putin enjoy his bizarre Victory Day celebration, hacking multiple state-run TV programs to tell citizens the truth of what is happening in Ukraine.
Though the Russian army has lost a devastating number of top-tier generals and sustained thousands of infantry casualties, Putin decided to hold a parade in Moscow this week as a show of strength to his enemies and allies. Despite refusing to admit the country was even at war with its neighbor — the invasion of Ukraine has been labeled a liberation effort by Kremlin supporters — Putin used the holiday to harp on about freeing the country from tyrants and Nazis while drawing comparisons to World War II. Unfortunately for him, Russian citizens watching the military pomp at home didn’t hear his recycled diatribe on how the West is plotting to destroy their country because a group of hackers opted to air their own Victory Day message, one that wasn’t kind to Putin or his inner circle.
BBC reporter Francis Scarr shared a video showing how hackers changed the name of every program airing during Putin’s Red Square demonstration to a message that read, “On your hands is the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and their hundreds of murdered children. TV and the authorities are lying. No to war.”
This morning the online Russian TV schedule page was hacked
The name of every programme was changed to “On your hands is the blood of thousands of Ukrainians and their hundreds of murdered children. TV and the authorities are lying. No to war” pic.twitter.com/P2uCNz8cqa
This isn’t the first time the people have pushed back on Kremlin propaganda claiming Russia was trying to save Ukraine from Nazi rule. After reports of rape, murder, and other atrocitied committed by Russian soldiers, some of the country’s well-known journalists and TV personalities have resigned in protest and publicly criticized Putin’s attempted genocide. Still, having the party you’re throwing to celebrate your mass murder campaign crashed by some tech-savvy commoners must sting.
As with David Letterman’s take on the Will Smith-Chris Rock smacking incident (“no one got hit” when I hosted the Oscars), he’s also got something to say about Dave Chappelle being attacked at one of last week’s Hollywood Bowl dates of the Netflix Is A Joke festival. Dave, as well, was performing over the weekend (at the Fonda Theater) as part of the ongoing Netflix set of dates, and he put his own special spin on the subject.
Of course, Letterman embraced his own awkward vibe when he (as seen in the above video clip) appeared to grow distracted by motion near the stage. All of this was an act with him declaring, “I’m sorry, thought I saw a guy coming up here.” From there, he realized that this was only a waiter, but he conceded that it’s slightly “alarming” to be onstage. From there, the punchline arrived:
“In deference to the people coming out here, let me just say this: When the show is finished, I will be in the lobby, and if anybody wants to come and beat me up, by God, come on out. How many of you would like to hit me right now?”
Surely, that close-to-the-stage area was heavily vetted following last Tuesday’s incident, in which Isaiah Lee attacked Chappelle, who later revealed that he talked to the troubled man after the incident. Lee has since been charged by the LA City Attorney’s Office with no felonies but, instead, four misdemeanors.
Meanwhile, the Netflix is a joke festival continues. You can see the dates here, and June performers include Bill Burr, Snoop Dogg, Amy Schumer, Pete Davidson, and more from Letterman.
Travis Scott’s comeback continues. The Houston rapper recently performed his first public show at a club in Miami after soft-launching his return at both a pre-Oscars party and a Coachella afterparty earlier this year. Then, last month, he announced his impending return to the festival scene at Primavera Sound in Brazil this autumn. And now we know when he’ll show up on the awards show circuit again. The Billboard Music Awards have announced the upcoming 2022 show’s slate of performers, which includes Becky G, Burna Boy, Florence + The Machine, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Silk Sonic, and yes, Travis Scott.
Travis is also nominated for one award: Spanish producer HVME’s “Goosebumps” remix is up for Top Dance/Electronic Song.

If you’re looking for a slightly-bitter-yet-malt-forward, crisp, easy-drinking beer for the spring and summer months instead of the usual overly bitter IPAs, maybe try grabbing a pale ale instead. Known for its medium alcohol strength and liberal use of hops and pale malts, pale ales make a whole lot of sense for warm weather drinking. And this being craft beer — an enormous ecosystem — there are a ton of pale ale options available.
Matt Simpson, head brewer at Tennessee Brew Works in Nashville, thinks the whole dang style deserves more respect.
“Fewer breweries brew pales every year,” he notes, adding that he finds much to love in the style. “They’re more malt-forward than an IPA, hopped lighter than IPA, but still hop-forward.”
To celebrate the pale ale, we tapped a panel of craft beer experts and asked them to list the most underrated pale ales on the scene. Keep scrolling to see some household names that don’t get the credit they deserve, along with a handful of under-the-radar beers (and one European pale ale) that these pros say deserve more acclaim.
Odell Drumroll
Odell
Mike Haakenstad, brewing operations manager at Sycamore Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina
The type of pale ale I enjoy is one with a nice balance of piney and citrus notes. One that is balanced and not overly hopped or sweet and a solid ABV around 5%, so I can have a few. This choice for me is Drumroll by Odell Brewing Company. Super solid APA that drinks like a dream — go get some!
Invasion from Cigar City is a favorite. I really appreciate the balance of malt and perceived bitterness of those beers versus some American IPAs that can be sometimes unbalanced in favor of IBU or bitterness without enough body.
Oskar Blues Dale’s Pale Ale is a classic pale ale that maybe doesn’t get as much attention as it used to after the haze craze took over the country. More on the piney citrus side of the spectrum, Dale’s Pale Ale is widely available and always reliable.
Sometimes it’s nice to drink beer without overthinking it and Dale’s is perfect for that.
I think one of the most underrated pale ales out there is Freshies from our friends right here in New Jersey over at Tonewood Brewing. While the line (and palate fatigue) between varying alcohol degrees separating hazy pale ales, IPAs, double IPAs, and others all driving such a tropical forward, low bitterness delivery can blur at times, I think it is refreshing to find such drinkable and return-worthy hop-forward beers that lean ever so slightly more towards nostalgic roots.
Freshies delivers a clean, crisp, drinker that perfectly showcases a wider array of hop character than the homogenous fruit salad punch that is so prevalent. Pretty little waves of bright citrus, layered floral character, and a touch more refreshing bitterness make Freshies such a delight to drink several of. To me, Freshies can tend to be underrated simply because of its humble demeanor. It is not trying to be the biggest and baddest pale ale out there. It is simply trying to be a pale ale that you will happily load an entire cooler with for a day out on the water.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Sierra Nevada
Douglas Constantiner, founder and CEO of Societe Brewing in San Diego
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It’s one of the most famous beers in the world and that still doesn’t do it justice. The fact that it is the exemplary, defining Pale Ale and one of, if not the most widely available, it’s amazing. Crisp, hoppy, flavorful, and highly memorable. Yet, still underrated.
Taras Boulba from Brasserie de la Senne – often drank out of context, this beautiful dry, and hoppy beer with a smattering of yeasty esters is the best Pale Ale you’ll drink this year – and it’s made by a Belgian brewery.
Switchback Extra Pale Ale. This is a super-solid pale ale that wasn’t afraid to be different than the standard. Hazy before it was cool, plenty of malt character, spicy hops, and an entry yeast make this something special.
Carton Brewing’s The Hook never disappoints if I am in the mood for a pale ale. This very well balanced and a medium-bodied ale is assisted by some wheat in the malt bill. The hops are the right mix of classic Citra with the newer/cooler Vic Secret. Fruity, sweet, citrus hop character backed up by sweet cereal grain with hints of honey.
Kane Sneakbox. This is a new-world American pale ale that fits in more with the hazy IPAs than the old school Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Hopped exclusively with Citra, it’s lemony and bright, and the 5.4% ABV is approachable enough that you can have multiple glasses.
Mt. Nittany Pale Ale from Otto’s Pub and Brewery. This beer is amazing, a perfectly balanced pale ale. Crisp, hoppy, and refreshing. The brewmaster at Otto’s makes some of the best beers I have had but has no desire to enter awards competitions, but I have no doubt his beers would be winning awards if he did.
Cigar City Guayabera
Cigar City
Marshall Hendrickson, co-founder and head of operations at Veza Sur Brewing in Miami
Cigar City – Guayabera Citra Pale Ale. I feel like Pale Ales have lost a bit of popularity in recent years, but Guayabera has bucked the trend. It’s a great beer, well balanced with a citrusy hop flavor – perfect if you want a bit of hops without the full strength of an IPA.
Half Acre Daisy Cutter is my pick for the most underrated pale ale. It has great balance and a bone-dry finish that keeps you sipping. It seems that any beer that is readily available these days like Daisy Cutter is underrated. If you haven’t had it before, the time is right to try it.
Outlandish conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is not a fan of the outlandish conspiracy theory known as QAnon. The man, who’s currently being sued by the Sandy Hook families for essentially saying their children’s mass shooting death never happened because the kids didn’t exist, apparently draws the line at the notion that Donald Trump is fighting a secret shadow war against pedophiles. Jones flew off the handle during a recent episode of his InfoWars podcast after receiving a call from a QAnon follower.
“Q is such a horrible thing that I hate even talking about it,” Jones ranted. “It was all a delusion, so the Democrats could steal the election.”
Alex Jones melts down at a caller for asking about QAnon.
“We lost the country because of Q! I have to put up with the Q people all over the place! And I’m tired of it!” pic.twitter.com/le6WSrm2yp
“Do you understand that we lost the country because of Q?” Jones shouted. “And I have to put up with the Q people all over the place! And I’m tired of it!”
“So, I’m not mad at you, but you hit a button!” he exclaimed. “And the damn Q people were the ones that manipulated some people to go into the damn Capitol and work with the feds. Q is the worst people on Earth! Q is the new world order! Q is a psyop to lead us around by our noses!”
Jones’ claim that Q “manipulated some people” to “work with the feds” is an interesting statement considering the InfoWars host is reportedly looking to work with the January 6 commission and, theoretically, could rat out Trump. The same Trump who Jones later credited in his rant with creating the QAnon movement before it was taken over by the CIA. Remember, you always gotta work the CIA in there, or else why even put on your tinfoil hat?
