I had just walked back into my house and was settling down to see Donald Trump’s speech tonight when someone linked me this video. It’s so insane that I thought it was worth a post. Alex Jones, the InfoWars kingpin, and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks almost came to blows today at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Watch the moment Cenk Uygur had a total meltdown on Alex Jones https://t.co/MXWJ5zbcPn pic.twitter.com/cy2L2Pnpy5

@RealAlexJones to @AnaKasparian live on @TheYoungTurks 'you little jihad'. A slander suit is surely in the works?

I’m still trying to digest this one. Holy shit, this has been one wild-ass convention week. About the only thing we haven’t had is some BLM-inspired violence, which of course is a good thing. The proceedings aren’t over yet, though. What’s gonna happen tonight?
UPDATE: Alex Jones says it was a setup and now YouTube is taking down some of his videos. I’m not sure about all that, but I do know that his channel is back up. Someone on Twitter told me it was down at some point, so it doesn’t look like Jones was bullshitting.

UPDATE: It’s hard to argue this one…
