‘We’re All Alex Jones’: Infowars Founder Gets Flogging For Tweet Trying to Rally Support Amid Social Media Crackdown

After having his content pulled from Apple, Facebook, Spotify, and YouTube, Infowars’ Alex Jones is trying to rally support for his cause on Twitter.

It’s not going well.

In a Monday afternoon tweet, the far-right provocateur made an ill-fated plea for sympathy.

“Understand this: The censorship of Infowars just vindicates everything we’ve been saying,” Jones wrote. “Now, who will stand against Tyranny and who will stand for free speech? We’re all Alex Jones now.”

Twitter wasted little time seizing upon the comical ‘we’re all Alex Jones now,’ line — and mocking it in various forms. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

I'll definitely be trotting out "We're all Alex Jones now" in the future https://t.co/HImgEwPrd6

We’re not all Alex Jones. Only you are banned from Youtube, Facebook, and more. We really don’t care, you do?

"We’re all Alex Jones now."

I just ripped off my shirt at the office and screamed at my computer screen, covering it in spittle.

No no. We're not all Alex Jones because we actually abide by the terms and conditions we agreed to when we signed up for these services.

I don't think you can say 'we're all X' about yourself without sounding like a maniac. Though I suppose that's on brand for you.

You egoistic bunghole. Someone else is supposed to say 'we're all ***'. But we're not.
