Alex Jones responds to an InfoWars caller asking about the trans porn
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, best known for his show InfoWars, has been caught with transgender porn on his cellphone.
What happened?
While filming a segment for InfoWars on ‘personal wellness’ products, viewers could see a quick flash of these porn videos when he briefly clicked away from the affiliate’s website.
The short lingering on Jones’s phone screen revealed several open tabs, including one with the title ‘Naughty tbabe Marissa Mi…’.
‘Tbabe’ is a term used to refer to transgender porn performers. The porn star the title is thought to include is Marissa Minx. Minx has been described as ‘Australia’s #1 Trans Companion/XXXAdult Model.’
Marissa Minx responds
Since this revelation, Minx has participated in interviews about the fact Jones watches her videos.
‘I think it’s great he’s watching my work. I had heard of Infowars before… Hi Alex Jones! Happy to give you a free membership to my site, or maybe you could have me on your show for a discussion?’ she told The Spectator USA.
‘Many fans are secretive about really being into trans women and it’s unfortunate that they feel not only that they need to hide their true sexuality — but then bash the very thing they desire,’ Minx told Them.us.
‘I don’t think it’s healthy or good at all to feel guilty about a thing that makes you happy and brings you pleasure,’ she continued.
‘Most certainly he shouldn’t treat others poorly. I think especially after the hypocrisy, he owes our community a serious apology. But as far as going out of the way to tell people about his attraction, I don’t think that’s as important. Just stop being a bully and deal with your personal demons without taking others down.’
Alex Jones is in denial
In response to an InfoWars caller asking about the porn, Jones vehemently denied watching it. Instead, he claims, he was trying to contact a reporter when the porn just ‘popped up on his phone.’

Anything else?
Last month, tech companies including Facebook, YouTube, Apple, and Spotify all banned Jones from their platforms. His hate-filled and misleading content, often used to target people in marginalized groups, including the LGBTI community, is no longer welcome on those sites. Twitter is the only popular social media platform that has yet to ban Jones.
