Stephen Colbert declares Infowars’ Alex Jones has lost his 'war on info'

The Great War on Info is no more, according to Stephen Colbert, for Alex Jones has lost it.

On Tuesday night, the late night host destroyed the "extreme right-wing conspiracy theorist and bath salt spokesmodel," who recently had his content removed from huge platforms like Apple, Google, Spotify, Facebook, and even Pinterest.

"Now if you want to see one of Jones’ signature rants, you’ll have to be in the next booth at Ruby Tuesday’s when he sees a mother breastfeeding,” Colbert said.

Colbert then went on to revive his Jones-inspired character — Brain Fight radio host Tuck Buckford — who is coincidentally dealing with very similar struggles at this moment in time.

"President Trump, I need you to do the right thing, all right? Help Tuck. Venmo me fifty bucks, or China will win the midterms," Buckford begged.

Only time will reveal Jones' and Buckford's fates. But they'll probably always have Twitter.
