Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Once upon a time, InfoWars founder Alex Jones was thought to be one of the leading voices in the far-right conservative movement, peddling alt-right ideas and conspiracy theories to millions of listeners.
Then in 2018, he was banned from all social media sites for hate speech. Facebook, YouTube, Google+, Apple, Spotify, Instagram, Stitcher, Vimeo, Pinterest, Twitter, Mailchimp, and LinkedIn all blocked Jones from their platforms, effectively stripping him of his audience.
If that wasn’t bad enough, things just got a little worse for the professional homophobe. On Tuesday, he was booked into the Travis County Jail on a drunk driving charge after his wife told police he had been physically violent with her, the local sheriff’s office says.
How about we take this to the next level?

The 46-year-old conspiracy theorist was booked around 12:30 a.m. after being pulled over for going 45 in a 40 zone. The officer said he “detected a strong odor of alcohol” on Jones, who appeared “excited” and “talkative” and whose eyes were watery and glassy.
Hours earlier, police received a call placed at 10:10 p.m. by Jones’ wife. She told the dispatcher they had gotten into a verbal fight and Jones, who had been drinking, became physical with her. Afterwards, he stormed out of the house in his black Dodge Charger.
Police located the vehicle roughly two hours later.
After being pulled over, Jones told officer he and his wife had gotten into an argument around 8 p.m. while dining at Izumi Sushi. He said he drank a bottle of sake during the meal. After his wife ditched him at the restaurant, he had to walk three miles home. When he got there, they continued arguing.
“Jones stated he then proceeded to drive to another residence he owns downtown to get away from his wife,” the affidavit says.
After testing at 0.076 and 0.079 and failing parts of the one-leg stand and walk and turn tests, Jones was booked into Travis County Jail. His bail was set at $3,000. He was released a few hours later, shortly after 4:00 a.m.
The driving while intoxicated charge is a class B misdemeanor.

Wait, you mean a racist, bigot, who lies about dead children being “fake” is also a bad husband and a drunk?!!?!?
Looks like Trump has another candidate for the Medal of Freedom.

Or a top position in his White House propaganda office.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
This vial abhorrent noxious disgusting puddle of puke is probably one of the worst subhuman creatures ever to slither into the sunlight.
We as members of the Gay community are used to smcumbags like him pontificating and spewing hatred and bigotry however he took things beyond extreme when he began challenging the fact that the children massacared at Sandy Hook elementary School did not happen, it was a conspiracy to take guns from citizens. He and his followers tortured the parents telling them that children didn’t exist they we didn’t die and it was all fake.
They spewed particularly vicious venom on a father who described having to go into the morgue and identify his six year old little boy with half of his face blown off
Hopefully this is the beginning of karma giving him exactly what he deserves take solace in the fact knowing that he’s going to burn in the darkest corner of Hell in excruciating unimaginable agony for eternity

Except in his religion all he has to do is ask for forgiveness and, poof, all is forgiven. #HitlerinHeaven.

@Harley I once wrote a paper on the problem of evil and why Hitler went to heaven for a religion course. My professor submitted it to a contest. I didn’t win but I made the final round.

I’m glad his true colors are finally being allowed to show. I refused to take anything this person said seriously when he said that juice boxes were responsible for making kids LGBTQ.
I will say though Izumi Sushi has some good food. At least the one in my area does.

Someone was stupid enough to marry this Pile of S***? I realize that some people get off on being abused but they don’t usually call the police on their abusers.
