Alex Jones conceded Wednesday in a Travis County, Texas, court that the murder of 20 schoolchildren and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in 2012, was “100% real.”
The InfoWars radio and web host admitted that it was irresponsible of him to declare that the school shooting was a hoax. The admission came while on the witness stand during his second day providing testimony in a post-default judgment trial that will determine how much he must pay for spreading falsehoods that the massacre didn’t occur.
Asked by his lawyer, Andino Reynal, if it was irresponsible to broadcast to his audience that the shooting never happened, Jones replied, “It was,” he said pausing for a breath, “especially since I’ve met the parents. It’s 100% real.”
Jones’ perpetuation of his claims the killing carried out by 20-year-old shooter Adam Lanza was fake and featured staged actors, endeared him to conspiracy theorists and hardline gun owner rights advocates while getting him banned from Twitter, curbed by Spotify, and besieged by defamation lawsuits filed by victims’ familes. Companies tied to Jones and InfoWars filed for bankruptcy earlier this year.
