Infowars Host Alex Jones Threatens Adam Schiff: “I'll Beat Your Goddamn Ass”

Jones says he's “not against gay people” prior issuing homophobic slur of intelligence committee's ranking Democrat

ep. Adam Schiff of California is the ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee and a strong critic of President Donald Trump’s alleged connections to Russia.

That apparently was enough to cause Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to launch into a homophobic tirade in a March 30 video against the congressman (who is married to a woman, Eve Schiff).

After prefacing his rant by insisting he’s “not against gay people,” Jones denounced Schiff, saying that he “looks like the archetypal cocksucker 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.”

Then Jones claimed that Schiff had accused him of working with Russians. (The FBI has said it is investigating whether right-wing sites like Breitbart and Jones’ Infowars played a role in the Russian cyber-operation.) In keeping with an earlier comment by Republican political operative Roger Stone criticizing the high-ranking Democratic on the House Intelligence Committee and calling its members “pussies,” Jones declared, “you get in my face with that I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch.”
