Top Trump Adviser Roger Stone: The Moon Landing Video Was A "Hoax Filmed In New Jersey
Roger Stone claimed that video of the moon landing was a hoax ... shot in a warehouse in New Jersey. Stone is a longtime top Donald Trump adviser and one of the Republican presidential nominees go-to sources for research.
Stone, who remains in regular contact with Trump (and whose talking points and theories Trump regularly adopts), is an ardent conspiracy theorist. For example, he has claimed that the Clintons orchestrated the murder of four people this year; the Clintons killed John F. Kennedy Jr.; President George H.W. Bush tried to kill President Reagan; President Lyndon Johnson killed President John F. Kennedy; and Sen. Ted Cruzs father is connected to Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
In a January 2013 Twitter exchange, Stone wrote in response to someone stating that Americans stepped on the moon: whole moon shot thing a hoax. Video shot in a warehouse in NJ.

But does Stone realize that by calling the moon landing a hoax, he's saying that his hero Richard Nixon was in on it?

(60,010 posts)Could be Nixon did not know about the "hoax", if you see what I mean.
But ya know what?
The fact that Bush Sr. knew the Hinckley family well, and that Reagan was targeted so early in his term, does give me suspicious thoughts.

(46,328 posts)Back in 1976, if someone told me a certified nutcase, in and out of mental hospitals, goes to a pawnshop and buys a cheap handgun thinking in his delusion, an actress would fall in love with him if he shot the President.
(The voices told him she would!)
I would say that's crazy. It sounds impossible.
But that *IS* what happened.
No half-assed conspiracy theory about the Hinckley's "knowing George Bush."
In 1865, a rabid racist and Confederate sympathizer shot Lincoln.
In the 1880's, a religious nut who demanded a cushy government job shot Garfield.
In the early 1900's, an anarchist shot McKinley.
In 1963, a loser who wanted so bad to be noticed and was so far-left he hated even the Soviet Union shot Kennedy.
And in 1981, Hinckley went off his nut and shot Reagan.
No "big conspiracy" needed.
