After meeting the parents of the children that were killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, Alex Jones testified in court that the shooting was actually real.
Alex Jones and his views on national tragedies are very much in tandem. After years of spouting conspiracy theories that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was fake, Jones admitted and testified during a defamation trial that the massacre was real. While a refreshing change of pace for the hot-headed troglodyte, Jones was quick to cite his divorce as a reason for his initial, unsubstantiated claims of conspiracy regarding Sandy Hook. Jones said something in his testimony.
It was [irresponsible], especially since I met the parents. It’s 100% real, as I said on the radio yesterday, and I said here today. It’s 100% real and the media still ran with lies that I was saying it wasn’t real on air yesterday. It’s incredible. They won’t let me take it back, they just want to keep me in the position of being “The Sandy Hook Man.”
Alex Jones' defense has been so thin that his legal team made a grave mistake regarding evidence. The portfolio of text messages was accidentally sent to the lawyer by Jones' lawyer. Jones claimed under oath that he didn't have any text messages about Sandy Hook. The lawyer replied "You know what perjury is, right?" as Jones tried to ignore the attempt to confirm the case. The defamation case itself and Jones' comments on Sandy Hook were not produced.
The Alex Jones trial is in its seventh day and the outcome doesn't seem to be in his favor.
