Donald Trump Jr. leaps on Alex Jones' conspiracy theory bandwagon
Donald Trump Jr. seems to think it's perfectly plausible that Hillary Clinton was wearing an "earpiece" at Wednesday night's Commander-in-Chief Forum. The Republican presidential nominee's son tweeted out a story by Infowars on Thursday morning that suggested Clinton got her lines fed to her during the live NBC town hall event via "some kind of flesh-colored device embedded inside her ear":
The story, published on the website of conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, cited Clinton's "broken sentences" and "'slower than normal responses'" as evidence she was "cheating" with an "earpiece." After numerous zoomed-in photos and screenshots of tweets calling Clinton a "liar," however, the article does address the possibility that the "earpiece" was maybe a hearing aid, or even just the "reflection of studio lights."
