Now that he's being sued: Coward Alex Jones - Backtracks - Now Says Sandy Hook Shooting DID Happen

In a YouTube video, Jones said he now believes the shooting really happened, and that the families are being used by the Democratic Party and the news media. Jones invited the parents onto his program for a discussion about guns.

In the past, Jones has repeatedly claimed the shooting was staged and that parents of children who died in the shooting are actors.

There's too many hours of him on tape spewing his hatred to suddenly "get religion" about Sandy Hook.

Bankrupt the s.o.b.!

I think this has to be the most cruel.

May he go straight to hell for adding to the anguish of parents whose 6 year olds were mowed down by a republican-abetted gun humper.

I would love to subpoena all of his producers and co-workers and ask them under oath whether he honestly believes this stuff or whether he expresses contradicting opinions off the air.

I think it is relevant to intent if he is doing it maliciously or just for profit. And I would love to expose him as a fraud.

that his show is a performance and that his radio personality is a just a role he plays.

"Attorney Randall Wilhite said at a pretrial hearing in Austin last week that evaluating Jones based on his on-air comments is like judging Jack Nicholson based on his role as the Joker in "Batman."

This treasonous POS is spreading lies and dis-info DAILY. Pizzagate, Seth Rich, Hillary is dying, etc.

You call them crisis actors and the event staged. Many episodes and programs.

You are a LYING MOTHER FUCKER

He needs to re-air all of his lies, offer a complete retraction of those statements. He needs to debunk and refute each lie one by one. Offer an unqualified on air apology to each family he has so brutally hurt....and repeat a few times each week for the same length of time he spend lying on air.

I listened to the full 10 minutes and all I can say is the guy said a lot of things, nothing that didn't contradict something else. He seems to think this is the way to go if he wants to weasel out of this lawsuit. Maybe he thinks the great unwashed will pass the MAGA cap around to raise some funds.

Do you remember when Jones was so happy and surprised that LOSER45 called him right after the inauguration/installation? Jones was so humbled and flattered, aw, you’re callin liddle old ME? Wonder if he still keeps in touch, eh? (Is Jones a lawyer by chance?!)
