Alex Jones says the new Star Wars is ‘total SJW’ and Princess Leia is a lesbian

Radio host and go-to right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has found something else to lash out at this week.

The recently released Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

The film is, according to Jones, “chock-full of political propaganda,” and “total SJW.”

General Hux is apparently supposed to look like Eric Trump, leading us to associate the President with the evil First Order (hey, he said it, not us.)

And Admiral Holdo is supposedly the epitome of the “bitchy feminist who hates men,” because she wouldn’t let men “assert their dominance.”

Jones then said Princess Leia was a lesbian, calling Holdo her “girlfriend with purple hair.”

There has in fact never been a lesbian relationship in Star Wars, or even an openly lesbian character, but that didn’t stop Jones.

“Every movie the women are the bosses, the women are the heroes, they’re all lesbians,” he said.
