InfoWars broadcaster Owen Shroyer, seen here at an abortion protest in Texas, lost a bid to contest his Jan. 6 guilty plea and conviction at the Supreme Court. | Sergio Flores/Getty ImagesThe Supreme Court has rejected a petition from Owen Shroyer — an InfoWars host who traversed Capitol grounds with broadcaster Alex Jones amid the riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — seeking to overturn his misdemeanor guilty plea on First Amendment grounds.
Shroyer, unlike Jones, was charged with misdemeanors for what prosecutors said were his efforts to inflame the crowd, using a bullhorn, at the foot of the Capitol.
Jones, Chesebro, Alexander and others, however, were not charged for their own presence in the restricted area.
