On Wednesday, Roger Stone, an InfoWars contributor and sometime Trump confidant, appeared on air with Mr. Jones to argue that the traditional news media was hiding facts about the Las Vegas massacre from the public.
Before bringing on Mr. Stone as his guest, Mr. Jones said, “All I know is, they’re trying to blame gun owners when it was patriots that got targeted. They’re making their move. The Democrats have said they’re going to have a huge uprising in October, November. It’s here.”
Citing a “high-level” C.I.A. official and “top psychiatrists from the federal government,” Mr. Jones added: “They’re saying clearly he’s antifa. Clearly, it’s the M.O., to trigger a helter-skelter revolution.”
Mr. Trump spent several days last week accusing NBC News of fabricating a story about Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson’s referring to the president as a “moron.” Asked about the NBC report, Mr. Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said during a White House press briefing that the administration was concerned about falsehoods spreading in the news media.
“We see a problem with any stories that are inaccurate or untruthful being presented to the American people as facts,” Ms. Sanders said.
