Alex appears to be in the news a lot these days. It seems that his mouth has finally got the better of him.
A lot of social media sites are dropping him, and from what I hear he’s facing several lawsuits.
Having met Alex very briefly in 2011, before he went alt-right batshit. He was pretty much what you’d expect; loud, outspoken, but also very funny.
I enjoyed several of his documentaries a decade back, they were always fairly far fetched, but also very interesting at the same time. I never watched his show, or the weekly radio show, just never had the patients for it.
Safe to say I lost interest when he went all pro Trump / Alt Right a few years ago. It just didn’t make sense given all his productions prior, but then as things unfolded I came to realize he’d found a new niche and (for a while) it appeared to be going well for him. Even though I lost interest, I could see how there was money to be made in this new wave of the Alt Right and there still is, which is why I think he made that move.
I think back to that appearance he made on the Pierce Morgan show, and at the time I couldn’t believe that someone let him on tv! In hindsight that was a small ripple in the pond compared to today.
Anyways, it appears to be coming apart for him now, and in all likelihood it was probably always heading this way.
