    Apparently this judge is not a Seinfeld fan.

    Alex Jones concedes Sandy Hook attack was ’100% real’

    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones testified Wednesday that he now understands it was irresponsible of him to declare the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax and that he now believes it was “100% real.”

    Speaking a day after the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the 2012 attack testified about the suffering, death threats and harassment they’ve endured because of what Jones has trumpeted on his media platforms, the Infowars host told a Texas courtroom that he definitely thinks the attack happened.

    “Especially since I’ve met the parents. It’s 100% real,” Jones said at his trial to determine how much he and his media company, Free Speech Systems, owe for defaming Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis. Their son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 students and six educators who were killed in the attack in Newtown, Connecticut, which was the deadliest school shooting in American history.

    But Heslin and Lewis said Tuesday that an apology wouldn’t suffice and that Jones needed to be held accountable for repeatedly spreading falsehoods about the attack. They are seeking at least $150 million.

    Jones told the jury that any compensation above $2 million “will sink us,” but added: “Ï think it’s appropriate for whatever you decide what you want to do.”

    People on the far right like him think they can just say something is fact or true because they "believe it is" and that makes it so. Refreshing to see a judge call him out on his bullshit.

    Maybe Trump... Alan Dershowitz? Rudy Giuliani? Ghislane Maxwell?

    All the same?

    It's a tough competition. Luckily, we have a way to determine which one is the worst of the worst:

    @ABM, which one do you like the most?

    There has to be some accountability for people posting whatever the hell they want on the internet. Or the news. At this point, I feel like there should be a required warning before airing something that explains it is now strictly entertainment and not actually journalism.

    even here in Germany i've read about him. This guy appears to be a deranged psychopath. The guy has some serious problems. Hopefully he goes into prison and we never hear from him again
