'We had an unbelievable victory today': MAGA host celebrates after MN mass shooting
Pro-MAGA Infowars host Owen Shroyer celebrated what he called an "unbelievable victory" after an alleged transgender person was accused of carrying out a mass shooting that left at least two children dead.
Following the shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Shroyer pointed out that the suspect had used the names Robin Westman and Robert Westman.
"I look at this and I'm saying, at this point, obviously, the feds cannot keep this information from the local police, if that's what was going on in the beginning, which I suspect was," Shroyer told Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI agent who had his security clearance revoked during former President Joe Biden's administration. "I don't know how they don't come out in a press conference now and put all this information out, because this is like they've lost, they've lost."
"So, okay, you won the first round. You got a lead-off home run on us because you pretended like you didn't know any of this in the first press conference," he said of law enforcement. "But now we just got up to bat in our half of the inning and we just hit a grand slam... Because, yeah, again, a trans-identified person."
Shroyer noted that mainstream media were reporting the shooter's identity.
"I don't, Kyle, I don't think, I don't think any of this information gets out, A, if it's not for you, quite frankly, B, if it's not for now us on the show today," the host argued. "I don't think any of this information is out. I don't think you're seeing this. Now Fox News is picking it up. Now it is officially mainstream news."
"I think I've probably been on air in Infowars longer than anybody not named Alex Jones," he continued. "I'm telling you, in the last four hours, you just, we just went through a historical moment when it comes to free press, you know, versus institutional cover-up."
Shroyer, who was sentenced to 60 days in jail following the Capitol riot, called his coverage of the shooting "a paramount moment."
"We just went through a paramount moment where the institutional cover-up has been beaten by free independent press," he remarked. "God bless Infowars. Unbelievable victory today. I mean, this is, I, I'm, I'm stunned, Kyle. I can't even believe we just hit back-to-back grand slams in the, in an inning. And now we're going back out onto the mound."
Seraphin, however, was not as jubilant.
"Yeah, it doesn't feel like a win, knowing that there's kids who didn't survive this," he replied.
