Owen Shroyer, host of the War Room on the independent media platform InfoWars, was sentenced to 60 days in federal prison for his involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol protests. Shroyer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally entering a restricted area and had three other misdemeanor charges dismissed. The maximum sentence for the misdemeanor is one year of jail time.
Owen Shroyer joined a news crew, which included InfoWars founder Alex Jones, at a planned Capitol rally on January 6th. Despite not entering the Capitol building, causing no physical harm, and obtaining a permit to rally on Capitol grounds, Shroyer was charged with entering a restricted area because of a 2019 arrest where he protested at a House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing. According to the Associated Press, Shroyer received a deferred prosecution on the condition of community service, but Shroyer allegedly hadn’t fulfilled the community service as of January 6th.
Loomer Unleashed has discovered that the federal prison where Shroyer is incarcerated happens to be in the district that the newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson represents. Shroyer is being held in FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) Oakdale in Oakdale, Louisiana. Oakdale, Louisiana is part of Louisiana’s 4th congressional district, which has been represented by Republican Mike Johnson since 2017.
Despite having a political prisoner held in solitary confinement in his own district, Johnson has been silent about the incarceration of Owen Shroyer. Shroyer is a journalist who went to jail for defending President Donald Trump and fighting for election integrity, but Mike Johnson is unwilling or unable to do anything about it.
By extension of InfoWars being banned from mainstream platforms like YouTube, iTunes, and Spotify, The War Room with Owen Shroyer is an aggressively censored broadcast limited to free speech platforms like Rumble and InfoWars’ own Banned.Video. The War Room is being hosted by fellow InfoWars host Harrison Smith while Shroyer is incarcerated.
Shroyer made a final message on X to his audience before his incarceration. “If you’re watching this, I’m in jail, but I wanted to give one last final message,” Shroyer said. “I can’t express the gratitude, appreciation, and thanks from my heart for all the support in this...political persecution that I’ve gone through. So, from all my heart, thank you for your continued support. I promise I’m never gonna give up telling the truth, I’m never gonna give up fighting for you.” Shroyer closed with an encouraging message of improving himself while he’s in prison and urging his audience to do the same.
It’s clear that Owen Shroyer is under political persecution for his views. Shroyer has been an outspoken Trump supporter and told the truth about election fraud in the 2020 election.
