Donald Trump

In one particular video, an infamous encounter with two anti-Trump individuals who challenged Owen's arguments and went viral. The individuals were nicknamed Carl the Cuck and AIDS Skrillex (Ben Teter). [5]
Info Wars
After spending much time out in the field recording rallies and engaging with the right wing political spectrum, he became a new member of the media team in late August, 2016.
After Donald Trump's election win, Owen shifted to covering the Trump administration.
In June 2019, in one of the episodes of Infowars Owen called for Barack Obama to be lynched.
He said Obama was "treasonous," adding: "Find the tallest tree and a rope."
The video was available on the site for several days before it was removed by YouTube after complaints.
The video was also promoted on Shroyer’s Twitter account.[23]
DACA
In a DACA rally that took place at a University somewhere in Washington DC on September 5th, 2017, he confronted two young college girls about white nationalism. He proceeded to coerce one of the girls to answer an interminable question concerning the literal meaning of the word, "Nazi". After continuing to unreasonably dispute the girl's argument, one of the girls walks off crying away, while the other remains. [7]
House Impeachment Hearing Disruption
When Representative Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the United States House Committee on the Judiciary, banged a gavel to open the hearing, Shroyer used Twitter to broadcast video of himself rising from his seat in the packed hearing room and shouting, "Jerry Nadler and the Democrat Party are committing treason against this country!"[35]
Shroyer continued to stream video of himself railing against Democrats and defending President Trump as the Capitol Police quickly escorted him from the room. "Trump is innocent!", Shroyer shouted.[35]
Personal Life
Owen has said the following about being a correspondent either for himself or when he's doing work for Info Wars:
The reason why they call me The Cuck Destroyer is because I face these people en masse, and I make them look like total cucks.
It’s sad because that’s not what I want.
I get along with most people, to be honest.
It’s sad we’re so polarized by politics, but it’s the nature of the beast.
When I go into the streets and I talk to people, I’m a man.
I have facts, I have points, I back myself up.
I’m not afraid either.
I’m not gonna back down because people are trying to intimidate me.
I think that’s how that nickname came about.
The Defeat of The Cuck Destroyer
On September 2nd, 2017, while doing coverage for InfoWars, Owen ceaselessly harassed people with questions in attempt to trigger the marchers from a pro-immigrant rally that took place in Austin, Texas. [2]
As Owen walked around looking for people to trigger and to "Cuck" by using his, "I have Facts, I have points, I back myself up...
I'm a man", technique, he stumbled onto a little girl who challenged him.
Owen walked up to her and (perhaps misidentifying her as a “young man”) tried to have a "conversation" with her until she broke up any chance of having one when she says to him: “Um, you’re a fucking idiot,” the child said to Owen.
When asked, “Who taught you that language,” the rapscallion replied, “My mother.”
Many on social media took the side of the little girl with people spreading the news that Owen, The Cuck Slayer, has been finally defeated. Owen then took to Info Wars to offer a response to the matter, he denied losing and called the girl a "vitriolic, petulant child". [2]
