Via NY Daily News:
Two former employees filed complaints against Infowars founder Alex Jones alleging he made racist and anti-Semitic comments, groomed them for sex and groped a female staffer.

Rob Jacobson, who worked as a video editor for Infowars for 13 years, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claiming Jones frequently singled out his Jewish background and referred to him as a "beefcake" over the course of four years, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.

Jacobson, who said the term referred to male porn stars, wrote, "I felt like this was intimidating and harassing and a form of sexual harassment in that he was grooming me for homosexual sex."

Jones also allowed his friend to enter the video editor's office and display images from gay porn on his computer, according to Jacobson.

The conspiracy theorist, who had a number of other nicknames for Jacobson, including "Resident Jew," "The Jewish Individual" and "Yacobson," once photoshopped his face onto the body of a Hasidic Jewish man and circulated it around the office, the complaint states.

Ashley Beckford filed another EEOC complaint alleging she was subject to harassment, racial slurs and a "hostile, sexually offensive work environment."

The African American production assistant said she was discriminated against "when it came to my salary/wages and benefits, in regards to my dress, including my hair style."

Jones vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "completely, totally false."
I think there's a whole proverb just for this that concerns dogs and fleas. Lock if old and all that.

Jones is a sack of trash and I would love for him and Infowars to go down in flames.

What the fuck did this guy think about Alex Jones opinion on the Jews when he started working for him anyway?
It's like joining the Klan and then fainting in disbelief that you're surrounded by racists.

Alex Jones has been projecting all these years. How many gay-hating right wingers out there end up being LGBT themselves?

I saw the other thread yesterday.


Honestly I am more surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner.

I am side-eyeing that black chick so hard. What the hell were you doing?

Eh, if you're a person good enough to get hired by anyone, why not?

If the persona's fake, you'll get paid and hopefully use some of that to fight back against those viewpoints.

If the persona's the real person, it's illegal not hire you based on race or religion. Therefore, this either ends up with suing them for wrongful hiring practices or making money til the inevitable firing or quitting then suing for the environment created by the targeted person.

It's more "Why would you even apply for a job that actively panders to people who hate you and spreads their beliefs?" Whatever salary they're making is inconsequential compared to the damage their program's indoctrination is doing to society.

Last thread was locked because, like this one, the source was only referenced the Daily Mail.

He's a man. A real man. He can't help it if his manliness causes him to sexually harass his employees. What, do you think he's some sort of beta male or something?
