President Donald Trump has declared the media to be an enemy of the American people. So on Wednesday night’s “Late Night with Stephen Colbert,” host Stephen Colbert took a look at one of the president’s more eccentric information sources: Infowars’ Alex Jones. The far-right commentator has bona fide influence over Trump’s base and perhaps even the West Wing.
Jones has become a household name since Trump became president, but Colbert wanted to make sure his audience knew who this “conspiracy theorist” is.
“If you’ve been living underground for the last few years, you’ve probably been listening to Alex Jones,” Colbert joked. “But for the rest of you, he runs a conspiracy website called Infowars. The name is easy to remember. Just imagine info and then imagine someone that is at war with it.”
