Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones hasn't learned a thing since he was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages over his false Sandy Hook hoax claims. In 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 26 people, including children, and six were adult staff members. That was after he shot and killed his mother. A lot of lives were destroyed in just minutes, but Jones made sure to make grieving family members hurt even more. Media Matters reports that Jones has launched another conspiracy theory.

"If you type in Alex Jones, those who follow the case, and you look at national news, CNN, all the fake news," Jones said. "You see different stories because they can't figure out even CNN's Oliver Darcy, the sidekick of, uh, Brian Stelter, said, "Well, it's very confusing. We don't know what's going on. But Infowars is over."

"Well, let me tell you what's going on," he continued. "There are no assets other than products that are worthless if I don't promote them; our listeners will never buy those from you if I'm gone. No matter how much they love him. And the rest of the story is I will not sell out or be compromised to stay on air here and be a puppet. So there's that. And I will not work with the CRO. They try to keep him on as the liquidator. And so that's it. Period. And that's where I stand. But if you read these articles, they're back at it. "Well, Jones claimed in court he was bankrupt out of money," which I was at the time and even more so now. Officially bankrupt, and "Jones really has 270 million. The court proved." No evidence, no documents."

"We couldn't counter it," he insisted. "It was just he's got hundreds of millions. He made it off these people's total lies. Just give it all to us. And they're back in the news promoting the same damn lies again. I mean, these people are disgusting."

"And they use I'm talking about the lawyers and the PR firms Democratic Party using these people. They got fundraisers all over X, all over Facebook with my name. "He's attacking us right now. He's hiding money. Get him to give us money." That's why they've raised so much money," he said. "Hundreds of millions reportedly off of my name as the bad guy, and then they're the victims, and it's just all B.S. total horse shit. Again. Barely ever talked about it. Thought it really happened at first."

Here it comes:

"Now we do think it happened and know what really went on," he said. "I believe Lanza had other shooters with him. And then other people go and question, it becomes a huge story."

"We cover it some and have a few debates about it. Move on," he added. "Don't talk about it for years and years and years. Then they say, I'm the Sandy Hook man attacking all these children. These dead kids and I'm like, "Hey, years ago, I already said I thought it happened. Let's move on. They go, "Oh, my God. You admit you lied?" No, I didn't."

If the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, then how could there have been multiple shooters? Jones turned his ridiculously stupid supporters into ghouls. It's fitting that he's forced to sell Infowars to pay his judgment since that's the main platform he used to spin his fabricated stories about those poor kids, and their families.
