What happens when you take the histrionics of Glenn Beck, add a dash of Donald Trump’s megalomania and stuff it into a garbage bag filled with bullshit? You get Infowars’ host Alex Jones. Jones has been the news “source” for our unpopular President on stories like “the media covering up numerous terrorist attacks!”
A little less than a week ago, Jones was ranting and raving (as he does) when he decided to go in on California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. Schiff is the ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee that is investigating Russian ties to our unpopular President and this recent election. Jones decided to get super homophobic and super, duper violent with this passage.
“I’m not against gay people,” Jones says in the video. “I love them. They’re great folks. But Schiff looks like the archetypal c---sucker with those little deer-in-the-headlight eyes and all his stuff. And there’s something about this fairy, hopping around, bossing everybody around, trying to intimidate people like me and you.
“I want to tell Congressman Schiff and all the rest of them, Hey listen asshole … listen you son of a bitch, what the f--- is your problem? You want to sit here and say that I’m a goddamn f---ing Russian. You get in my face with that I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch. You piece of shit. You f---ing goddamn f---er. Listen f--- head, you have f---ing crossed a line. Get that through your goddamn f---ing head. Stop pushing your shit. You’re the people that have f---ed this country over and gang-raped the shit out of it and lost an election. So stop shooting your mouth off claiming I’m the enemy. You got that you goddamn son of a bitch? Fill your hands. I’m sorry, but I’m done. You start calling me a foreign agent, those are f---ing fighting words.
“He’s sucking globalist d---,” Jones concludes.
Starting a sentence by saying you aren’t a thing is usually a dead give-away that you’re about to be exactly that. Some examples:
- “I’m not racist but … “
- “I’m not homophobic but … “
- I’m all for women’s rights but … “
You can actually watch it below with no censorship and it’s as crazy as you think. Jones, like his fellow “patriots,” loves telling you how “strong like bull” he is. But Jones and his ilk fold up like tiny pieces of wet toilet paper the moment anyone stands up to them—especially when there are facts involved. Newsweek wanted to know whether Jones’ insistence that he would beat someone’s ass is a potential felony waiting to be pursued by law enforcement.
Law enforcement officials are not saying whether they will charge broadcaster Alex Jones, the right-wing conspiracy theorist ally of President Donald Trump, for publicly threatening to “beat” Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and telling Schiff to “fill your hand”—a reference to taking up a pistol.
But, says an attorney with expertise in federal law, Jones’s threats appear to break a federal law, U.S. Code Title 18, Section 115, which makes it illegal to threaten to assault a U.S. official and provides a penalty of up to six years in prison.
With our current administration, there’s a good chance that Alex Jones is about to be promoted to the NSC.
