Most people know Alex Jones as either a world-famous crackpot or the only man with the guts to really tell the truth. Either way, he’s the kind of guy who says “sheeple” unironically. Naturally, then, Jones is going to be spending a lot of the coming week standing outside of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland yelling things. That’s where he crossed paths with comedian Eric Andre, an agent of chaos who is exactly the type of person that a guy like Jones won’t know how to handle.
At one of Jones’ rallies earlier today, The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel managed to catch a video of Andre—who hosts the lovably bizarre Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim—trying to push his way through the crowd toward Jones’ stage. The crowd refused to let Andre in at first, with one guy in a t-shirt with an assault rifle on the back actually following him, getting in his face, and knocking a microphone out of his hand (while Jones screams about people infringing on his free speech just a few feet away, because this is just going to be that sort of week).
