      Today's congressional hearings on social media could be wild. Alex Jones claims he'll be in the front row, Laura Loomer is in DC, and Chuck Johnson — banned from Twitter — says he has something planned.

      Heated exchange between Rubio and Alex Jones in the Senate hallway — Jones crashes a Rubio interview and touches Rubio's shoulder. Rubio tells Jones not touch him again, says he'll "take care of you myself" rather than calling the police.

      Alex Jones called Rubio a "frat boy," Rubio insisted that he didn't know who Jones was. Rubio eventually left, telling the press they could stay if they wanted to interview "this clown."

          At the end of the Alex Jones - Marco Rubio spat, Jones tells Rubio to go "back to your bathhouse."

          Talk about idiot thug....the arrogance of Alex Jones to try to hijack the interview for his purposes. What an ego, it almost made me kind of like Rubio, for a couple minutes.

          It looked to me like some of them were trying to ignore him, but in typical Alex Jones manner, he wouldn't let that happen and had to repeat the name of his website multiple times.....

          You know, it wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t constantly try to hijack other individuals and not allow them to have a pair today. He operates under the assumption that his words are the only ones that need to be heard, and they aren’t..,

          Let’s be clear: Cutting off Alex Jone’s from a national platform privately owned is NOT a ban on his free speech. He is whining about his reach, not his freedoms to say it. Alex Jones is perfectly free to buy a mic and shout from a van down by the river with Bannon.

          And someone answered, "That's what we do..." but it doesn't HAVE to be what you do. Free speech -- all well and good -- but that doesn't mean you have to give the glaringly mentally ill in society a platform.

          The ridiculous idea what that tolerance of ideas requires the press to give a platform to the most vile and fringe elements of society is how we wound up in this mess. Ratings and 24/7 titillation has made racism, conspiracies and insanity just an acceptable alternative view.
