Alex Jones misrepresents Mark Potok's comments by ignoring the context of threats made by James Yeager.

But here, what we're seeing, Alex, as usual, is leaving out some very important context. Mark's comments were in response to a video that was put out by a Tennessee weapons instructor by the name of James Yeager, literally saying that if Obama put forth any gun control measures, it was time to, quote, start killing people. Mark Potok was just quoting James Yeager. It's really indicative of the sort of gaslighting that Alex engages in all the time, what we're seeing here. Some gun weirdo threatens to kill people. Then someone who works at the SPLC says it would be wise to pay attention to this guy threatening to kill people and people in his community who are making similar threats. And Alex ignores the original threat and pretends that the SPLC guy is nuts and just saying that all white people are terrorists.
