Infowars Says \u2018Deep State\u2019 Sent Megyn Kelly To Take Down Alex Jones<\/h1>\n

Turns out Alex Jones isn\u2019t happy about his Megyn Kelly interview, either.<\/h3>\n

The people behind the far-right, conspiracy theory website Infowars say they\u2019re convinced NBC host\u00a0Megyn Kelly<\/a>\u00a0conspired with government manipulators to take down Infowars creator\u00a0Alex Jones<\/a>\u00a0during her controversial interview<\/a> with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cShe\u2019s gotten a bigger megaphone, she\u2019s gotten a bigger sponsorship from the deep state, and she\u2019s about to do her hatchet jobs, which I think are going to ultimately fail and we will continue to beat by reaching the people directly through the internet,\u201d\u00a0Infowars\u2019 Washington bureau lead Jerome Corsi said on Jones\u2019 show Monday.<\/p>\n

\n

The \u201cdeep state\u201d (which Corsi mentions around the 12-minute mark in the video above) refers to one of Jones\u2019 favorite conspiracy theories, that a body of people are secretly influencing and manipulating government policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The baseless accusations add a new dimension to the outrage<\/a> over Kelly giving airtime to Jones, who has claimed that the 9\/11 attacks were an \u201cinside job<\/a>\u201d and that the parents of the 20 students slain at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 were actors<\/a>\u00a0who helped fake the slaughter of children and school employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The full interview is scheduled to air June 18, but Kelly previewed clips from it on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0Opponents of Jones have criticized Kelly for normalizing Jones and his outlandish claims. Jones, however, insisted through\u00a0<\/span>much of his Monday show<\/a> that Kelly had done a \u201chit piece\u201d on him. He\u2019s demanding that NBC pull the interview from its schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cThis is their big gamble, \u2018Take Alex Jones down,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cThis is pathetic. The only way I could fail was not doing it, and letting them rig it, and letting them interview me for four hours to edit it together, and then be able to show people what was really said.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jones pointed to how NBC crew members manipulated lighting for the interview as evidence it was a strategic attack on him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey lit my face from the side and under, like you light somebody for a Halloween piece, for a horror movie,\u201d he said, repeatedly calling Kelly \u201cthe gorgon\u201d and \u201cMedusa.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for why he did the interview with the mainstream media he so detests, Jones said he wanted to observe the supposed sabotage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI wanted to see the fembot,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to witness it for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
