The Eagles of Death Metal singer has previously apologized for saying Muslim security guards in the theater were complicit in the attack. Now he's at it again, and one fan has had enough.
Earlier this month, Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes gave an interview to a conservative website in which he again espoused a conspiracy theory that Muslim security staff at the Bataclan theater were complicit in the terrorist attack.

The singer apologized in March after he first suggested venue staff were somehow involved in the attack, ascribing his initial "unfounded," "baseless," and "absurd accusations" to lingering nightmares and stress from the Nov. 13 attack.

However, that apology has now been deleted from the band's Facebook page, and Hughes has again repeated the claims in greater detail in his interview with the webzine Taki.

"There's no denying the terrorists were already inside, and they had to get in somehow," Hughes said. "During the shooting I went outside and the backstage door was propped open. How did that happen?"
"There were two girls who were involved," he alleged. "They were at the venue and vanished before the shooting, and these women were in traditional Muslim garb. They knew people wouldn't check them because of the way they were dressed.
"I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination."
