Mother Jones’ David Corn: The RNC “Was A Lot Of Bizarros And Haters” Like Alex Jones Supporting Trump

From the July 24 edition of MSNBC’s AM Joy:

JOY REID (HOST): Give us your review of the Republican National Convention and do you think it will produce a bounce for Donald Trump?

DAVID CORN: To me it was a parade of fear and loathing. I’ve never seen a modern convention where the most popular chant called for imprisoning, imprisoning your opponent. Again and again and again we saw displays of hatred, more than any support for Donald Trump, it was focused like a laser beam on Hillary Clinton and demonizing her. Literally demonizing her when Ben Carson talked about her connection some way to Lucifer. And to me, one of the most bizarre moments of the convention, it’s a little bit down in the weeds, but there is a guy named Alex Jones who is the number one conspiracy theorist in the country, he is a 9/11 truther. He believes that the last Republican president George Bush was in on 9/11, killed 3,000 Americans so that he could invade Iraq. He was given a special guest credential to this convention because he supports Donald Trump and Trump likes him and George Bush wasn’t there. So this was a lot of bizarros and haters who had gathered together to support Donald Trump, who has been called a conman and a racist by leaders of his own party. I can’t think of anything more absurd and dystopian than this convention.
