The claim is the speaker's own self-description of being a top MAGA-branded influencer in 2016, and no independent source confirms or refutes that prominence.
What was said
… And so there's this weird, very short-sighted view, this political silo of Trump supporters now that really don't understand the world before or can even conceive the world after. And so they're kind of confused when they see somebody like me who was—I mean, I was, like, top MAGA branded in 2016. I was one of the biggest influencers online for helping Trump get across the finish line, and then, of course, all the work we did at Infowars. And so to kind of go from that to now, 10 years later, I guess, you know, being branded all the different things I've been branded by MAGA now, they don't understand. …
The Health Ranger Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. AP (2023) reports that Shroyer had worked at Infowars since 2016, which places him at the outlet during the claimed period but says nothing about his influence or rank.[1][3]
Context. Politico (2020) reports that Infowars's Owen Schroyer organized a cross-country caravan to pick up followers before a pro-Trump MAGA march, showing organizing activity but not a 2016 ranking as a top influencer.[2]
Context. The Substack piece asserting Shroyer 'was a top MAGA influencer well before 2016' is published by the Health Ranger outlet that posted the claim, so it repeats the claim rather than independently documenting it.[4]
Context. The claim's wording ('top MAGA branded', 'one of the biggest influencers') is the claimant's self-characterization and cannot corroborate itself; the spelling 'Schroyer' differs from the sources' 'Shroyer' but refers to the same person.[5]
