Tom DeLonge From Blink 182 Emailed Clinton Campaign Chairman About Aliens

Tom DeLonge From Blink 182 Emailed Clinton Campaign Chairman About Aliens

WTF?

If you've been following the presidential debates in the US, then you'll know that Trump is very keen on letting all voters know that Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, was hacked by WikiLeaks, and 50,000 emails from his personal email address were leaked.

There's been some very interesting revelations, including Clinton's alleged involvement with big banks and an apparent plan to smear Bernie Sanders as a sexist.

However, perhaps most interestingly of all (to me), is the one from Tom DeLonge asking John to take part in UFO talks and meet some UFO experts.

Of course, the burning question: why is Tom DeLonge emailing Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman about aliens? Shouldn't he be singing awful songs in a whiny voice instead? Isn't that what he usually does?

Well, all I can assume is that it's because we've all just sort of given up in 2016, haven't we? If Donald Trump can run for president and Noel Edmonds can set up his own telephone helpline for cats with low self-esteem, then why can't the fella out of Blink 182 be an alien expert?

So, here we are.

Here's one of the emails, which he's modestly titled 'Important things':

Also, I'm going to jump in at this point. If you're a fan of Tom DeLonge (I'm not) or you write a lot about aliens (I do), then you'll know that he's actually been working on a big alien-related project for a while.

As well as working on a film about aliens, he also gave an interview to Mic saying that working on alien investigations was the reason he left Blink 182.

What else is great about this is that it's actually not the weirdest thing to come out in the run up to the presidential election, is it? 2016, everyone.
