Alex Jones today is blaming Ted Cruz for getting Oathkeepers leader Stewart Rhodes arrested yesterday. He said after Ted brought up the Ray Epps conspiracy, DOJ retaliated by arresting Rhodes. He also said that arrests need to stop because we need peace and to come together.

OP
Yes, they are stupid enough to believe that the DoJ is in the business of "retaliation"

The great part about this is that they're all so toxic and polluted, they'll take each out even quicker.

That's pretty much what they're doing, too.

The subtext is that the qonned sheeple believe Epps was/is an FBI "instigator", hence the retaliation angle supposedly because people supposedly outed him.
Is this a case of the astro-turfed magat hed hattery getting out of hand (ala Jones)
or
Does somebody well connected to the qonning social machinery have something to gain from Cruz's downfall?
---
A surmise: Jones thinks Oathkeepers are worth defending. Says a lot about Jones, but none of that surprises us. (Have not followed links or known Cruz was involved in the Epps controversy.)

I probably liked Ted Cruz more than most of my colleagues like Ted Cruz, and I hate Ted Cruz.

... he's done. Ted is blacklisted. You could tell in his appearance with Tuckums. When you've lost Tuckums, you're done.
