Cockburn was the first to speak to Marissa Minx, the trans woman featured in the film, who said “I think it’s great he’s watching my work.” Robert Francis O’Rourke Jones chases after the passerby, swearing at him and calling him a “coward.” The moment inspired several spin-off memes, of which Cockburn’s favorite is this:Ī blink-and-you’ll miss it Infowars highlight came in August 2018, when during a plug for one of the company’s many “health supplements,” Jones briefly flashed a pornographic video he’d been watching on his phone. In a later, equally bizarre appearance, Jones donned a costume and a tutu, appearing as “Geronimo Frost,” a “totally cool gay frog.”Īnother epoch-defining Jones clip shows the host being flipped off by a passerby while taping a segment in Seattle. Perhaps the most famous Alex Jones moment, in 2015 the host ranted about a conspiracy theory involving the US government, for reasons that are unclear, chemically modifying water in order to make frogs homosexual. “I don’t like ’em puttin’ chemicals in the water that turn the friggin’ frogs gay!” But there’s so much more of the Infowars oeuvre deserving of a wistful look back. Of course, Cockburn can’t condone the host’s grim treatment of the Sandy Hook families. Unfortunately, Jones the real person is having to cash the checks that Jones the performance artist signed. In an earlier legal battle - over custody of his kids - Jones’s lawyers argued that on air, he was “playing a character.” “He is a performance artist,” attorney Randall Wilhite told a Texas judge. Infowars filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy this weekend as its founder Jones faces liability in three defamation lawsuits for his ghastly claim that the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, in which twenty students and six staff were killed, was a hoax. The obituary for Alex Jones’s Infowars will not blame gay frogs, Bill Gates’s microchips or Robert Francis O’Rourke - instead, the rather less exciting cause of death will surely be Chapter 11.
