The InfoWars reporter who got the pass was Jerome Corsi, one of the chief forces behind the utterly untrue idea, rooted in racism, that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and ineligible to be president.

Though there are somewhat stricter standards for those with permanent "hard" passes, almost anyone can get a temporary day pass (which is the kind Corsi appears to have obtained) allowing them into the room, and then get another of those passes and another and so on indefinitely. There's a long history of reporters coming in from out of left field, representing small or even possibly non-existent outlets. Some of them have been regular presences in White House briefings for years.

F**k Alex Jones

[Sumner 1868]

Weird that they've crossed over from being vaguely anti-everything too obvious right-wing hacks in the past couple of years. I guess Jones, or more likely an employee of his that's much smarter than him, can tell Fox News and talk radio are in its early stages of inevitable collapse so wants that audience for himself?

F**k Alex Jones

These assholes have brought a lot of turmoil to the families of Sandy Hook victims who've been harassed by their audiences who are being spoon fed the narrative that it was all a coverup and that they're actors who are lying about their children's deaths.

I'm happy that Alex Jones lost custody of his children. And I hope he gets even worse coming for him down the line.

How many people approve of or have voted for Trump solely out of boredom or the need to be constantly entertained?

Clever move by a chaotic administration that thrives on the destruction of institutions, or just more stupid from idiot HQ?

I really think they are just doing it so people like us will be doing what we are now doing.

Yes.

God bless Alex Jones and Dr. Corsi.
