Alex Jones may have whipped up his most ridiculous conspiracy theory yet: Porn just keeps popping up on his phone, and he's definitely not searching for it.

The far-right wing "InfoWars" host was trying to explain away a viral screenshot from a live broadcast in which he briefly flashed viewers a series of tabs open on his phone's web browser, and one is believed to be transgender pornography. Close scrutiny of the small image revealed the tab was titled "Naughty tbabe Marissa Mi..."

"Tbabe" is internet lingo for a transgender adult film actress, and many believe Jones was scoping out Australian XXX star Marissa Minx. The irony is that Jones has previously expressed his disdain for the LGBTQ+ community, and once ranted against drag queens by saying, "Soon the icy cold of hell will embrace you forever. Soon you will pass through and never to return to this dimension. Never to ascend, but down, down, down, down. Down, down, down into that black hole you're going."

When a caller asked about the screenshot on his show Tuesday, Jones suggested that any insinuation that he was intentionally looking at porn on that phone is "ridiculous."

"I saw a couple of news articles about that -- it's ridiculous," he said. "I was like looking up some reporter we're trying to hire today and punched in some number and porn popped up on my phone. Everybody's had porn pop up on their phones hundreds of times."

(Right? So how many hundreds of times has porn popped up on your phone? Let us know in the comment section below!)

While laying out another conspiracy theory suggesting the media manipulated the image to support a fake narrative, he proceeded to both deny and confirm that the browser tab in question was, in fact, porn.

"So I'm sitting there with a phone on air, showing it to everybody because I couldn't get a URL up in the studio. And then like some thing pops up, like, 'Oh, my God!' And I looked at it. The news blurred it out 'cause there was nothing there," he argued. "They blurred it to then say something was there, and when you went to it, it was some porn menu!"

"I probably had porn menus pop up 500 times on my phone, so I appreciate your call," he told the female caller who asked about it. "It's insane, ladies and gentlemen. There's two types of people: People that look at porn, and people that lie about it -- but I wasn't looking at porn on my phone. I don't take phones on air that I look at porn on."

We've read that statement about 500 times now and still can't decipher if that's a denial or admission of porn on his phone, and which of those "two types of people" Jones is identifying as. Perhaps both?

Jones added, "I will say this -- the Amazon ads, the Viagra ads, the weird non-plastic bag ads are taking my iPhone over. iPhones didn't used to be that bad like Androids."

The trans porn on Jones' phone was spotted Aug. 25 and quickly made its rounds on Twitter because "InfoWars" has been banned from Facebook and YouTube. Jones' negative comments about the LGBTQ+ community contributed to YouTube's decision to ban his content.

Despite Jones' history of bashing trans people and repeatedly using the slur, "tranny," Minx was flattered to be entertaining him.

"I think it's great he's watching my work. I had heard of 'InfoWars' before," she told The Spectator USA. "Hi, Alex Jones! Happy to give you a free membership to my site, or maybe you could have me on your show for a discussion?"
