Infowars host Owen Shroyer has been sentenced to two months behind bars for joining the mob’s riot at the US Capitol, which prosecutors said he “helped create” by spewing violent rhetoric and spreading baseless claims of election fraud to hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Shroyer hosts a daily show called The War Room With Owen Shroyer for the website operated by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
