Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has discriminated against his staff, laughed along with racist and anti-Semitic slurs against former employees and even groped one female worker, bombshell documents allege.

While I think there was an assumption that he was a wacko conspiracy theorist then too, he surely was more mainstream than now.
I guess that is the Trump effect.
