Alex Jones: Hijabs Are Feminist Like Gas Chambers Are Jewish

On Monday, conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host Alex Jones balked at the suggestion that the wearing the Muslim hijab could be a feminist act.

For Jones, this “is like saying putting Jews in gas chambers is the new sign of Judaism or something — or worshiping Hitler is pro-Israel.”

The liberal watchdog group Right Wing Watch first noted Jones’ comments, made during his regular broadcast.

Jones also claimed that George Soros and the “private world government” were encouraging women in the U.S. to wear hijabs as a sign of protest against President Trump.
