The point of us calling this out isn’t to defend Jones as saint-as we still don’t know his intentions for the children in his area that aren’t as privileged as his own-but to use this as a gut check for us all. Dropped the story link into Snopes’ search bar, and alas: the story is fake.Īlso worth noting: The Daily Wire is a right wing website, so yeah, there was an agenda at hand when this story was published. But upon a quick search for the original source from which the quotes used in TDW’s article were pulled (and which was published on June 15, 2016)-it was revealed to me that Jones’ quotes were used out of context.
