Parkland's David Hogg agrees to debate 'sh*t journalist' Alex Jones over unhinged conspiracy theory


Parkland’s David Hogg agrees to debate ‘sh*t journalist’ Alex Jones over unhinged conspiracy theory

Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg on Tuesday agreed to a interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In a series of tweets, Jones accused Hogg of using CNN to shut down his YouTube channel.

“My YouTube channel with 2+ billion views has now been frozen after CNN lobbied for it to be closed in your name,” Jones charged on Twitter.




At that point, Hogg offered to come on Jones’ show to clear up the confusion.







And Jones accepted the offer.






It was not immediately clear if or when Hogg would appear on Jones’ radio program.

Not a good idea to go on his show.

Though he is a coward afraid to contradict people too.

.... and the problem with debating shameless, soulless liars like Jones is they will just make up any bullshit they please, scream that it's all facts or proof, and deny or ignore any actual facts they don't like. Then crow that they "won."

understanding how it works. Their hate speech is explicably protected, but they hate any speech pointing out that hate....the hypocrisy reeks.

This debate should be fun.

Alex Jones may be one of the worst living American citizens. I don't expect him to stand for a fair fight.

debate someone who controls the microphone and/or the editing process. Jones cannot be trusted to present this as it actually happens.
