Twitter users destroyed CNN reporter Oliver Darcy after he attacked Alex Jones’ spending habits.
Commenting on an excerpt from a New York Times article, in which writer Elizabeth Williamson combed through old lawsuits revealing Alex at one time bought four Rolex watches, Darcy tweeted, “This is the guy who decries the globalist elite,” suggesting Jones’ wealth somehow makes him comparable to the globalist cabal that runs the world.

Darcy’s comparison was roundly mocked on Twitter, where users saw right through his false equivalence.
This is hilarious.
Most the replies to your Tweets @oliverdarcy are against you.

Most regarded the tweet from Darcy, who lobbied numerous social media companies to ban Infowars, as out of touch with reality:
Interesting how he has so much to say behind a keyboard, but could hardly form two words face to face with Alex. What a little punk b****

Money doesn’t make someone elite, though. Alex Jones would never be accepted among the elites, and you know this.

Low-T Oliver Darcy wishes he could spend money like he’s a big baller @Lavarbigballer

What does “decrying globalist elites” have to do with spending 317k in a month? That amount of money is nothing to them. Alex has some money and can spend it on whatever he wants. Sounds like you are a jealous bitch who didn’t say shit to his face. Kick rocks

Are you butthurt for being called out by Alex Jones?

Cheap shot journalism. Childish. Looks like Alex Jones making you his little bitch got under your skin. You are a lightweight. Jones will continue to win. You are a punk.

It’s funny how you don’t understand the difference between being wealthy and being an elite.

Many also criticized Darcy for his laser focus on what Jones spends his money on:
Are you implying that in America you are not allowed to blow your own money on whatever the hell you want? Sounds like envy and or jealousy to me. You liberal media elites are the most Hippocratic sobs in America. #CNNsucks
— Chad🇺🇸Clary (@CClary81) September 11, 2018
possumboy, its none of your business what Alex spends money on
— bingbingbong (@TomorrowRain) September 10, 2018
So. It’s a crime to spend money now.
— Deanna (@Deanna_MAGA) September 10, 2018
What’s it to you what he spends his money on. Is that all you’ve got ?

If someone buys rolexes with their own money, that is their business. jackass

Wealthy and globalist elites are not the same.

Others saw it as another example of the reporter’s obsession with Alex Jones:
DUDE, You are fucking obsessed. GET A FUCKING LIFE. pic.twitter.com/Aj4GfM8mMy

Someone even suggested Darcy was violating Twitter’s code of conduct on bullying and harassment:
Mr @oliverdarcy are you bullying/ attacking Alex Jones’ character?
Are you putting him in harms way by being so mean spirited toward him?
Aren’t you violating Twitters terms & conditions?
YOU should report yourself to Twitter immediately!— the great AM (@AndrewM1880) September 10, 2018
Darcy was confronted by Jones last week when the radio host flew to Washington DC for a special press conference, after which he also confronted Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
