Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars website recently posted a video that showed a young girl telling Infowars reporter Owen Shroyer -- who has pushed toxic conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook mass shooting and “Pizzagate” -- that he is a “fucking idiot” before giving the camera the finger:

The clip went viral and Shroyer responded on an Infowars show last night, calling her a “vitriolic, petulant child” and claiming that she didn’t “defeat” him in “any debate”:

On his show today, Alex Jones came to his employee’s defense, saying the girl sounded like “John Belushi on PCP” and “acts basically like some thug woman.”
