Infowars is paying 5k USD for shouting “Bill Clinton is a rapist” on national TV, which has now happed serveral times during Clion campain events. Infowars itself has close ties to the Trump campain, as his surrogate Roger Stone appears often on Alex Jones show.

You are obviously missing the point here:

Infowars does not hide it - it is on their website.

Clinton campaign's plots/schemes would have remained unknown to the public, if not for Wikileaks.

This is not to mention that they aren't advocating 'free speech' like Alex Jones(not that I agree with him); they are actively fostering division and inciting violence between American citizens(using the mentally ill as their pawns) to manufacture outrage and promote a narrative.

I encourage anyone reading to watch the video, acknowledge it's biased and draw your own conclusions.

You can't edit words into someone's mouth.

> acknowledge it's biased and draw your own conclusions.

I think this is the soundest advice here. The formatting of the video makes it obvious that there is a partisan motivation behind this investigation. However, the video also provides a certain amount of raw and non-processed evidence that can be judged on their own merits.

This is the crux of what is going on in politics now. You can't simply trust your instincts when there is so much work going into manipulating those instincts.

Yeah, that's the same as admitting to hiring mentally ill people, homeless guys and young kids to start violent interactions.

That's not even close to equivalent.
