Overview
- In a Monday livestream, Owen Shroyer announced he was leaving InfoWars and ending his role hosting the War Room.
- He said Alex Jones had labeled him “too anti-Trump” and repeatedly interfered with his show, prompting a mid-broadcast walk-off that Jones publicly described as a “family emergency,” which Shroyer disputes.
- Shroyer said a phone call shortly before his announcement ended with Jones telling him he was not needed for the rest of the week.
- He launched a fundraising campaign to build an independent program, which had raised about $12,437 of a $30,000 goal by early Tuesday, according to the donations page cited by Newsweek.
- Jones posted on X denying censorship and wishing Shroyer well, then castigated him on Tuesday’s broadcast with terms including “snake” and “rat,” according to a clip circulated by Raw Story.
