And then proves it.
Alex Jones of Infowars is being sued by several parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre for spreading conspiracy theories claiming that the massacre was staged using actors. He also claimed that the children who died “never existed”.
In a deposition posted to YouTube, Jones defends himself by claiming that “a form of psychosis” brought on by the stressful nature of his job caused him to spread lies and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. Jones promised that he would no longer spread conspiracy theories without confirming them.
However, in his broadcast on Monday, he spread another unconfirmed conspiracy theory about Sandy Hook. Jones argued that a Sandy Hook father who died from an apparent suicide was actually murdered in order to build the legal case against himself.

I try to be relatively civil but Jones really sets me off. I ran into him during the Kavanaugh hearings and just let loose expressing my disgust with how he had treated Sandy Hook families and then followed up with his other abuses for about two blocks. The whole time his response was to bump me and then claim I had assaulted him and too repeat everything I said but in a mocking whiny child voice. I generally leave folks to themselves and just address their opinions but some people like Jones, Nazis and KKK are just too harmful to leave in peace.
