Top 10 Quick Takes: Infowars Host Wouldn't Answer Whether Or Not He Hired White Nationalists

[Top 10 Idiots]

Jake Lloyd is a somewhat fresh face on the Infowars news desk, where he’s been working as a warm body when Alex Jones and Owen Shroyer are preoccupied, and he’s used his short tenure on air to welcome right-wing propagandists and white nationalist activists to the Infowars platform, which reaches hundreds of thousands of people.

Before joining Infowars, Lloyd ran a schtick on YouTube attending political rallies in hopes of embarrassing anti-fascism protesters. Last year, Lloyd announced that he had been hired by Infowars to do “editing stuff” and expressed his disappointment that he wouldn’t be able to take time off work to attend the then-upcoming “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. Soon, Lloyd was representing Infowars and deploying the same shtick that currently earns him a whopping $2 per month via fan support on Patreon.

On Lloyd’s personal YouTube channel, he presents sympathetic coverage of Gavin McInnes’ violence-inciting “Proud Boys” club and members of the group’s more militarized offshoot calling itself the “alt-knights.” Lloyd also has a handful of videos glamorizing Kyle Chapman, known in alt-right circles as “Based Stickman” for a violent encounter he had with an anti-fascist protester.

In a video uploaded earlier this year, Lloyd lamented that “the third world is exploding with fertility” and said that unless “birthrates of European people” are bolstered, conservatism would be destined to fail. He also slammed mainstream conservatives who he said “can’t maintain the founding stock of the country.” In a July 4th tribute video, Lloyd claimed that “we invite the disease of the world into our sanctuary” with immigration. In another video, he attacked libertarian publications for accurately identifying and then separating themselves from alt-right figures like Milo Yiannopoulous.
