'This girl didn't defeat me!': InfoWars reporter defensively insists he didn't lose debate...

‘This girl didn’t defeat me!’: InfoWars reporter defensively insists he didn’t lose debate with a young girl

BRAD REED
08 SEP 2017 AT 15:00 ET

Owen Shroyer, the InfoWars reporter who got famously cussed out by a young girl this week after he mistook her for a boy, defensively insisted that he didn’t lose any argument with her.

Shroyer said that people who mocked him for being cursed at by a young girl were depraved individuals who had no sense of decency.

“They’re all saying — and, of course, they understand that this girl didn’t defeat me in any debate — but the left is just literally lifting this girl up as a hero,” he said. “And it’s just really sad to me. And then they’re making fun of me, like, ‘Oh, Owen Shroyer was so shocked!’ Yeah, that’s shocking! When a young girl comes up to your and curses at you!”

He then went on to call the girl a “vitriolic, petulant child that has no discipline.”

He called her "young man" and the girl knew he was fucking with her so she told him to fuck off.

Why did he never apologize for the mistake? Because he was deliberately baiting a child.

Big man attacking a child. Fuck him.

It means he learned a whole bunch of big words he never heard at home and wants to show off by using all of them at once. It's a dead giveaway to the fact that he probably should have finished a real education.

These people do not debate, they set up circumstances using straw men and red herrings and every other dishonest rhetorical trick in the book to frame the argument in their favor.

Telling them to fuck off is the best way to put an end to that bullshit.

... no attempt to discover why she would have such animosity to InfoWars (because they're lying assholes and a teenage girl can see that just fine). Nope, just crying about insults or whatever since as you said they try to frame everything their way.

I have an emotionally abusive mother who sends out poison pen letters full of distortions and hateful comments. I could refute each and every one of them but it would be pointless; she'd just be delighted by the attention and send out more poison pen letters. I just mail her the unopened letters back. It's my way of saying "fuck off."

... he'd be picking his teeth off the ground. Seriously, I have a clean record and would have no problem beating the living shit out of anyone who called my daughter that. He'd probably be happy to get a beatdown just so he can whine that "the left resorts to violence since they can't discuss the issues" (I can actually picture him mumbling that as I'm holding him down punching his face in.

I don't care that he's upset she told him to fuck off. Assholes pushing nasty conspiracy theories like Sandy Hook was a hoax deserve to be told to fuck off and flipped the bird.

She was cool, calm and willing to speak with him until he opened his moronic mouth. She was pretty sharp too. All in all I would say she is someone I would want my kids to hang out with and would be a good influence on them.

She was open to speak with him but for him calling her "young man." I think he was baiting her, but even if he wasn't baiting her and simply goofed, he later dug a deeper hole when he attacked her instead of apologizing for calling her young man. At that point he should have understood why she reacted angrily.

I especially loved the finger at the end. She really put her heart into it.

But this alleged adult man beat a hasty retreat to his publicly-aired show which he used as a platform to safely broadcast his 'victory'.

While it might have been the 'young man' thing, it _also_ kind of looked like she did a double take at the camera crew and realized who she was talking to, which I also hope is the case.
