[Miles Archer]

[JHan]

1. out of the mouths of babes...

[L. Coyote]

70. I need that kids name and address so I can start a scholarship fund for her.

Link to tweet

[JHan]

73. Hahah awesome

[Agschmid]

2. He not "stunned" all this does is energize him.

This is a stupid video, and social media really has changed the way we interact, IMO negatively It's becoming more clear everyday.

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. I love the video. Proving that the Nazis are idiots indeed.

[Warpy]

34. He was reduced to spluttering about language

when I'm sure he was all geared up for a round of trans bashing a little kid.

Good for her. It's the only response these right wing goons ever deserve.

[FreepFryer]

49. +1. (n/t)

[Lars39]

3. Strong girl, thinking quick on her feet!

And kudos to her mom, too.

[shenmue]

26. Yes

[Denis 11]

4. Good for her.

[videohead5]

5. He called her

A young man.he is and idiot X2.

[DK504]

13. HA!!!

She nailed it in one. WTF made this f-ing idiot think she was a boy?

[BamaRefugee]

78. his type rarely get this close to a female!

[sagesnow]

6. Smart young girl

calling out misogyny when she is the brunt of it! Very hard to respond quickly to a hateful comment from a supposed adult.

[FreepFryer]

7. She may have been trans, and he may have known that about her.

It explains her "go eat a bag of fuck you" response.

[FreepFryer]

8. Classic strategy of attacking transpeople by ignoring civil pronoun usage, etc...

As with race-baiting and anti-Semitic framing, for example, the trick on the Left is for us not to fall for it and make oneself look irrational.

Make THEM look irrational.

[George II]

23. I don't think it was a trans thing. He was just, as she said it, a "fucking idiot".

[FreepFryer]

40. On what basis other than your assessment of her gender do you make that conclusion? (n/t)

[Thor_MN]

51. On what basis other than your assessment do you make a conclusion that she is Trans? (n/t)

[FreepFryer]

53. I didn't. AT ALL. I said she MIGHT be. The "I don't think so" response was much more declarative.

Please read carefully before you create false equivalencies.

[Thor_MN]

54. Oh, I see, your assumption was MORE generalized...

Please read carefully. Your high ground is lower than you think, I made no assumptions.

[FreepFryer]

56. Whatever your reason, it is clear that I did not say what u admonished me for. Cheers. (n/t)

[Thor_MN]

58. I have big question about your reason, or lack thereof

Have a nice life.

[FreepFryer]

59. Now you're just picking silly fights, Thor. Have fun.

[Thor_MN]

60. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who 's the instigator of it all?

Go ahead, have a last laugh, I've got better things to do than play with armchair bullies on the internet.

[FreepFryer]

61. Wow, just wow. Issues much? Cheers! (N/t)

[George II]

64. Right back atcha - on what basis other than your assessment do you make your conclusion?

[FreepFryer]

65. I made no conclusion at all. See post 53 and thereafter. Thanks! (n/t)

[George II]

67. See your post #8.

[FreepFryer]

68. The strategy is classic. That's all I said... sorry, but you're grasping and for no good reason.

Just a little reminder - "She may have been trans" is what I said, and you said "I don't think so". I merely stated in post 8 that misgendering is a classic strategy by the Right - See post 56. Thanks!

[LuvLoogie]

80. Dude! (assumption) You're trying to reel in blue fin tuna with 2 lb test.

But it is you that is flopping around on the deck. Really.

[FreepFryer]

81. Girl, I have no idea what you are talking about. And perhaps the same is true on your part. (n/t)

[Loki Liesmith]

82. First order probability

The likelihood of randomly identifying a trans person on the street is low. However because infowars are dicks and would seek out a trans person just to intentionally misgender them, these odds are increased a little bit.

[FreepFryer]

83. I would say I agree generally but their insistent misgendering makes it more than a little bit.

i can see them intentionally responding to perceived gender ambiguities among people on the Left with this kind of hateful, "Insincerely-but-politely-rendered" misgendering to provoke a reaction. That's why i have carefully tried to state it as a potential explanation, and neither an insult nor a claim.

[Loki Liesmith]

85. Fair enough

[mwooldri]

69. Doesn't matter... He's still a f'n idiot. N/T.

[FreepFryer]

71. Agree 10000% - it was just a possible reason for his offensive choice to call her what he did...

...not a justification.

And, it also provides some explanation for her immediate umbrage and expletive response.

Either way the encounter shows to me that misgendering isn't opinion or "free speech," it's pure provocation and douchery.

[we can do it]

74. Unfreakinbelievable response. Where do you get off questioning if she's trans?

It's a put down, pure and simple. That shit happens to me a lot from MAGAts. It's condescending bullshit because we don't fit your preconceived notion of what "a woman" should look like. Shame on you for spreading shit, too.

[FreepFryer]

77. I'm not spreading ANYTHING. she was misgendered, plain and simple - a tactic used by the right.

I'm not doing any of what you claim.

it's not a put down to wonder whether a person being misgendered in the way she was might be trans - ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS BEING MISGENDERED BY RIGHTIST TROLLS LIKE THIS GUY (AND MILO), WHO SPECIFICALLY DO THIS TO TRANSWOMEN TO PROVOKE THE VERY RESPONSE (CURSING, ETC.) FOR WHICH SHE IS BEING CRITICIZED BY A (VERY) SMALL MINORITY HERE.

I made NO value judgment, NOR did I cast any aspersions, NOR claim she was trans.

You are, however, mischaracterizing what I have done in offering a potential explanation for WHY this Infowars asshole CHOSE to misgender her by calling her "young man" - one that potentially has explanatory value, and which I expressed respectfully for this young person, for LGBT people in generally and without any insinuation or aspersions cast.

It's not an insult to say a person may be trans.

Being trans is not a bad thing.

[yallerdawg]

9. Something must have seriously pissed off that "young man."

Infowars is about as serious as Howard Stern "reporters."



We are still allowed to be irritated if someone assumes we are the wrong gender - aren't we?

[FreepFryer]

42. Exactly. Nt

[George II]

10. He is. He asked HER "how are you young man?"

[MontanaMama]

22. Right?!?!?

She might have engaged him had he not called her that. He is a fucking idiot.

[FreepFryer]

41. He definitely is a fucking idiot. And if she is trans and he said that knowingly, doubly so. (n/t)

[MontanaMama]

47. Didn't even think of that.

Good catch. Maybe he meant to be an asshole. Even more disturbing...

[FreepFryer]

48. Yup, and in so doing, he demonstrates that misgendering is wrong and offends non trans people.

Eye-opening.

[MontanaMama]

50. Boy howdy.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit, now that you mention it. Maybe that's why she reacted as strongly as she did - she KNEW he was being an insensitive fool and it wasn't just a mistake. Kids are more astute than I realize. My 12 year illustrates that daily.

[FreepFryer]

52. Either way, she won, and infowars lost. But knowing trans people as I do, raw outrage was familiar.

[usaf-vet]

11. I'm pretty sure she will never be a republican RW voter.

Good for her. I would say DITTO her remarks.

[heaven05]

12. "oh my god" "oh my god"

he is a fucking idiot and so is his boss. These people are destroying america in favor of creating an ameriKKKA for nazi white supremacists who HATE all not white, straight, male and so-called KKKristian. I am lol at the drubbing he got...and the children are smarter than the adult.

[L. Coyote]

14. Here's hoping she never loses that sweet childhood innocence and truthfulness.

Adults tend to grow out of being frank and honest all the time.

[Gothmog]

15. LOL

[niyad]

16. kudos to that young person, YAYYYYYYYY.

[mountain grammy]

17. Proud of you, young lady

[Turbineguy]

18. Shouldn't that be

InfoWars "reporter"?

[47of74]

31. "Exactly"

[AtheistCrusader]

19. That was enjoyable.

[MontanaMama]

20. OMG. That is SO what my kid would do.

As a result, I'm not parent of the year by any means but my child never misses an opportunity to say it like it is. His MO is to look at me and say "Mama, can I just say one thing?" That one thing is usually a doozey.

[stopwastingmymoney]

90. That is great

Congrats, you must be doing something right

[MontanaMama]

91. Really?

I hope so. It's so hard to know.

[stopwastingmymoney]

92. Absolutely

A child with strong opinions who's not afraid to share them with his Mama?

That tells me you've raised him to think and given him a safe place to do it, not every parent can manage that

[MontanaMama]

93. You made my day.

Thank you.

[Jim Dandy]

21. Fucking idiots should always be called fucking idiots

They're more likely to understand what you are saying.

[Javaman]

24. +1 nt

[Wibly]

25. Reporter?

Why are you referring to an Infowars employee as a "reporter".
They are not "reporters". The closest thing they could be called is an "interviewer", but to call them reporters is to give them credibility that is not rightfully theirs.
These people are not reporters, or journalists, by any stretch of the imagination.

[DemoTex]

27. The future of our country is looking much brighter!

She nailed it.

[C_U_L8R]

29. My hero

That smart brave girl sure knows how to deliver the truth to fucking rightwingnut idiots

[DFW]

30. He's not a journalist. He's a propagandist.

Too bad that when asked where she got that kind of language, she didn't answer, "from Steve Bannon."

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. "Oh my gosh!" Dude works for a complete nutjub bigot spreading hate and lies, but

he's shocked by true words and a finger. Values!

I love that girl!

[procon]

33. That probably came as a rude awakening for the infowars reporter.

It was probably the first time since he learned to pull up his own panties without his mama's help, that a female called him out. Evidently he's more comfortable when he's the one yelling at the people he has on camera, When that young person turned the tables on him, he was left completely speechless.

[The_Casual_Observer]

35. "my gosh!"

That vile son of a bitch should have been pissed on.

[MuseRider]

36. I have to admit

I never intentionally taught my boys to speak like that but then.....they were born during Reagan. There have been plenty of opportunities to "speak French" as my mother used to say. They do me proud.

[DinahMoeHum]

37. Mofo had it coming to him.

n/t

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. The idea that they think they can still be the puritanical bastions of the US

Those that speak for Republicans or the right is a joke after Trump. They look like such a yuuuuuge joke pretending to be offended. "Oh my gosh...oh my gosh!!!" Like he doesn't have raving foul-mouthed conversations with his fellow deplorables about "those fucking libtards".

[JDC]

39. I love that

She's not going to take that dick's shit. He absolutely called her young man on purpose. He then tried to play the puritan on the back end. I concur. f him

[FreepFryer]

43. This is so illustrativ of how misgendering insults and offends. Transpeople are only one target.

[TrollBuster9090]

44. "You're A Fucking Idiot"

"You're a fucking idiont."

"Where did you learn THAT language?"

"From ALEX FUCKING JONES!"


For the record, I think the asshat called her a 'little boy' because he was hoping she'd say "I'm a GIRL," and then he'd say something typical like "I thought you liberals didn't see a distinction between boys and girls..." It would have made a nice soundbyte for Infowars.

I'm not in favor of leftist protesters dealing with wingnuts and wingnut propagandists that way, because it only gives them ammunition to use in their propaganda....but I can't deny that THIS clown got what he deserved.

[disillusioned73]

45. Nice touch @ the end..

love the finger.. rock on girlfriend!! lol



I'd forgive my son in this incstance as well..

[wolfie001]

46. Pure gold!!!

Told that squealing pimple off! Way to go young lady!!!

[raven mad]

55. I swear this could have been my daughter at the same age.

She's now got 2 daughters - we WILL win!

[DonaldsRump]

57. The effin' idiot's shirt reads "Enjoy Nationalism"

[longship]

62. BAM!!!

Just BAM!!!!

No more necessary or required.

[IronLionZion]

63. Her name is Olivia Hoffman from Austin and is definitely a young lady

She knows how to handle trolls like InfoWars

[FreepFryer]

66. Thank you for the link! It doesn't say she isn't trans, but she is indeed a bright young lady!

From the article:

The reporter approached and (perhaps misidentifying her as a “young man”) asked how she was. “Um, you’re a fucking idiot,” the child said to the correspondent. When asked, “Who taught you that language,” the rapscallion replied, “My mother.” So precocious.

[kag]

86. Thanks for the links.

I love that she's from Austin--my hometown.

I've watched this video about ten times now. I just can't get enough of it.

[gay texan]

72. HA!

Girl, i don't know who you are, but i LOVE you!!!!!!

[exfthings]

75. "fking idiot," priceless

She gave that "totally legit media pro" an absolutely appropriate response. Don't harass some poor little girl and then expect a reasonable or measured response. It just is not gonna happen

[Warren DeMontague]

76. isnt "infowars reporter" an oxymoron?

or maybe just a straight up moron

[tymorial]

79. That is priceless

[KY_EnviroGuy]

84. Does anyone else see a resemblance to...

the one and only HRC?

[JI7]

87. "OH WOW" . he sounds like a stupid fucking idiot that needs to be punched in the face

[SethH]

88. I would enjoy this if it wasn't on the Infowars channel

this one apparently isn't staged, Salon identified the girl and she's very political and progressive, but there was another video of Jones interacting with people in Seattle that I suspect was staged.

Staged or not, the video serves as a promotion for Jones. More views for his snake oil sales as well as for whatever his political clients he has.
