How funny! Right-wing wingnuts were convinced that Assange was going to follow through on his teaser that he was about to kill off Clinton's campaign. They donned their tinfoil hats and tuned in to the broadcast expecting to experience that rush that fans feel when the final siren goes to confirm their team's grand final victory. Instead, Assange trolled the world.
Assange used his big moment to spruik how brilliant Wikileaks has been and encourage contributions. In the middle of this, he said he wouldn't be making a big release of Clinton documents when it was 3am in the US!
Alex Jones did a live broadcast on his Infowars channel and you can see in the following clip what happened in wingnut homes across the US. He exploded and agreed with his offsider that they'd been "Wikirolled" and concluded that Assange had nothing. And Jones showed why he's the king of conspiracists, launching a conspiracy theory that Clinton had done a deal to set Assange free if he buried the incriminating evidence. Assange has sold out and Wikileaks is dead, apparently!

Well put. Alex Jones, sheesh, what a knob... though I do like your term 'wingnut'.
