Savage! Vice reporter who mocked Jan 6 prisoners trolled at CPAC by AOC’s ‘Big Juicy Booty’ guy

August 8, 2022 | | Print Article

Vice reporter Tess Owens, who callously mocked the plight of the Jan. 6 prisoners who have been held in solitary confinement and denied due process,  has protected her tweets after being trolled by conservative comedian Alex Stein at CPAC in a schadenfreude super-spreader video that promptly went viral.

Taking his cues from liberal shock jocks like Howard Stern and Don Imus, conservative Alex Stein has built a career on acting out and ruthlessly mocking public figures for the things they do.

Remember, this is the guy who had the audacity to comment on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s rear end, setting back the women’s lib and Latinx relations by at least fifty years.

But when the targets of your abrasive brand of humor are progressives, the rules are different. If Howard Stern goes after Melania Trump, it’s sharp-witted satire. If, however, Alex Stein goes after, say, a Vice reporter or (gasp!) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it’s a clear example of how misogynistic Republican bullies are and Dems run for their safe spaces.

So, while Stein may be considered an obnoxious, juvenile anti-comic by some, many conservatives couldn’t help but chuckle when he went after the mask-wearing Owens at CPAC on Saturday — especially after she dismissed as “political theater” a CPAC booth that, in dramatic fashion, called attention to those still being detained for their alleged involvement in the events of January 6, 2021.

As BizPac Review reported, a makeshift cell was erected in the CPAC convention hall at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, TX. Inside, a barefoot man, later identified as #WalkAway founder Brandon Straka, clad in an orange jumpsuit and a Make America Great Again hat, sat weeping as audio testimonies played. Never once did Straka, who was arrested by an FBI SWAT team in the wake of Jan. 6, break character according to witnesses of the extraordinary display. Straka later pleaded guilty to being in a restricted area on the Capitol grounds that fateful day.

Now, Owens locked her verified account (once a Twitter no-no) after her encounter with Stein, so we can’t show you the actual tweets she sent, but thanks to the internet, we do have some screenshots that point to why she became Stein’s target.

So, when Stein saw Owens wandering around CPAC in a COVID-19 mask, he trolled her — hard.

“So, she’s the only one here in a mask,” Stein said, “and she’s just saying negative stuff. I can’t believe they let you in here. Do you feel like a sheep in a lion’s den?”

“I have credentials to be here,” Owens replied.

“Yes, so do I,” Stein retorted.

Stein then accused Owens of “trolling this event” and thinking that “all of you guys are losers.”

Owens’ point that she’s “just doing her job” didn’t slow Stein down. As a crowd gathered and began to laugh, the comic called Vice “the worst media company there is.”

“They’re all liars,” he stated.

He then asked Owens if she was a drug addict and repeatedly called her a “loser.”

“This is what a loser looks like,” he loudly proclaimed.

Few on Twitter could spare any sympathy for Owens, especially after she protected her tweets.

Some argued Stein’s tit-for-tat approach to liberals is an important learning moment.

“Glad Alex holds the mirror up to the hypocritical left and shows them exactly who they are,” tweeted one user. “It’s amazing how uncomfortable they become and how much they hate it, but it’s important they understand how the majority of America feels being gaslighted, berated, and held hostage.”

But most of the nearly 26,000 people who have liked Stein’s tweet just found the scene hilarious and were happy to see a conservative dishing it out for once.
