InfoWars host Alex Jones is a conspiracy-minded lunatic who screams and wails and does everything short of ripping his hair out every day in order to pull in ratings. Nothing is sacred: This is a man who has claimed that the Newtown school shooting was a hoax staged to let the government take people's guns. This is a man who considers himself one of the founding fathers of the 9/11 truther movement. This is a man who THIS WEEK claimed that Malia and Sasha Obama were not Barack Obama's children.

It's a sad state of affairs that people get their news from him, let alone the President of the United States. And not only is the leader of the free world apparently a fan of Jones, but President Trump has also been a guest on his show, where he told Jones that his reputation was "amazing."

So, when a major presidential candidate and eventual president tells the world that a "journalist" has an amazing reputation, people will believe what that person has to say, even if its all built on a foundation of lies. Which brings us news that broke this weekend in which Alex Jones is currently in the middle of a custody battle with his ex-wife. His argument that he has the capability to be a sane father to his children? That it's all fake.

This comes from the Austin American-Stateman:

At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.” “He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist."

If this is all an act, then Alex Jones might just be the most despicable person on the face of the planet. What Jones says has a real effect on on shaping what people believe. (See: PizzaGate, the ELECTION.) Who has two thumbs and is making the world a worse place for no good reason?

That scumbag, apparently.
