If you need more proof Alex Jones is a piece of shit and he needs to be banished from any city with good people (Like Austin, you guys deserve better than this clown), well here you go.
Meanwhile, the continued alt-right push to end drag storytimes across the country finally landed at the Austin Public Library when an InfoWars representative crashed and filmed an event at the Old Quarry branch on June 5. Local drag queen Miss Kitty Litter ATX, who's been donating her time to the library's story hour in connection with Austin International Drag Foundation for almost a year, was approached by InfoWars as the event was ending. Under the guise of being a "documentary filmmaker" who was "trying to protect the kids," the man asked Kitty if she'd heard about the Houston controversy, then asked library staff if a background check had been performed. As a staffer tried to explain APL policy, the man returned his focus to Kitty, demanding: "What's your official name? Like what is your actual name? If people wanted to do a background check."
On Friday, shortly after viewing the InfoWars video (accessible through InfoWars but located on Periscope's server at www.pscp.tv), David Richardson, Miss Kitty's alter ego, told the Chronicle that he gave the man his name because he was "trying to be polite and nonconfrontational; I was nice to him. But I thought about it later. ... It could've been a very dangerous situation." As of Friday afternoon, hundreds of comments – many of which threaten violence and wield anti-LGBTQ hate speech – have been added to the video post, which includes Richardson's full name. It's these comments that Richardson called "really, really frightening."
