He never shot anyone
The news guy is on the same level as Jones .they report fake news every day
I was ten years old when JFK was assassinated. It caused a lot of stress on the public. The Warren report said one man did it. Lee Harvey Oswald. Many people said he didn't. For years and years. Oliver Stone made many millions saying Oswald I didn't do it. Someone owes me millions for lying. I won't even start with Elvis sightings after his death.
I think his lawyers did it on purpose. 😂🤣
This just shows how delusional these extremists people of the trump cult are.
They are so self confident and carefree that they don’t even try to hide they’re evil actions or even pay attention to Their surroundings.
Does this man sell diet pills.
AJ has said just about every mass casualty worldwide is fake! He makes money in this! I worry about the people that believe his lies!
This equates to ZERO other than huge free publicity opportunity for Jones and INFOWARS. They cannot enforce more than about $5mil in Texas which his supporters will likely contribute back twice that much within about a month. It just fully exposed the extreme corruption of the judge and prosecution team as nothing more than a 🤡show.
I can't believe A J is able to stand face to face with that strong mother who lost a child and still saying NO you're a fake with his head! This is insane.
🥊Nancy Pelosi and Congress in Washington apparently believe that war between the United States and China is possible, maybe inevitable, and perhaps even desirable. It’s a seductive logic. The bigger problem is that; Taiwan by international Decree is China’s territory; The Biden administration also has said Pelosi’s visit does not signal a shift in its one-China policy, which acknowledges that Taiwan is part of China, but, if the Democrats and the pentagon are thirsting for war with China, keep selling missile defense systems to Taiwan as you did with Ukraine and send Nancy Pelosi to seal the deal. (Other countries like the Philippines, do not trust Antony Blinken, do not buy weapons systems, invest your countries money in your people)🪀
Alex is a real man and this here is THE BIG LIE. When it all comes to the surface and it will you will ALL eat crow. This I believe.
Guy looks like he's a heart attack candidate. Here's hoping…
If Alex Jones had been given life in prison years ago like he deserved, none of this would have happened.
This man is totally screwed !
Throw the book at him!!!
honestly Alex Jones isn't "conspiratorial" enough.. enough of this.. he is addressing things urgently
Bet money he's got a micro johnson
Iam gonna sue your company for zelling weapons if mass destruction. How many children died because of the lies your co. Pushed , like a drug dealer, to us .i hope you .ean what you say . Cuz this sets a precedent . You e already been found guilty. Alex jones didnt procure the murder , N.B.C. did
As ye sow , so shall ye reap.
We never saw the criminal case , that was buried . It should be public knoweledge . How come that was buried but tbe civil case wasnt .
He was already guilty , yet people are using this trial as his guilt or innocence . It was already decided in a very closed case . Thats what people should be looking at . Why ?
It makes me sad he made even more money with his vice, lies and hate.
You fake man. Get out demorats. Get out fake news
Crush Jones’ pockets
He's a clown that makes a lot of cash from bulls#!+
When is MSNBC getting sued for all the lies?
Many of his conspiracy theories turned out to be true…
Alex Jones did nothing wrong
It's so incredibly sick? YOU are incredibly sick
What do they get out of lying 🤥
Mmmmm. Where have you been? We are by far the biggest tin foil hat conspiracies channel far surpassing most except maybe cnn for the last 6 years. So what are you even talking about?
If you watched this unfold, then you witnessed a genuine Kangaroo Court!
He should having all his assets both money any business he owns and or are a partner in then they could all be sold and given to the people who lost sons daughters teachers to name but a few
We need truthers but only the official narrative crafted by those in power is allowed.
Why did the parents dress up as swat team members did they run out of actors that day? Lol 100% hoax
Ok MSNBC lies on a daily basis. Is this the game we are playing because MSNBC and the rest of the mainstream media lie like they breathe. Hunters labtop is Russian disinfo ring a bell MSNBC?
What he said may have been distasteful to some, but 4 million dollars? Really?
If you think this is acceptable, just wait until people are being fined like this for questioning the trans narrative, for example.
Think that will never happen? Just wait and see…..
Alex Jones has literally created a cult of believers in him and infowars. It's sad and scary as a good friend of mine I have seen get further and further into the over paranoid simplistic way of thinking. One thing is to question official stories/ authorities etc. I'm all for that. Another is to blindly believe whatever alternative story is presented and call the rest ' sheep'. Anyone defending AJ's integrity needs to really take a step back and also judge him critically if they dare to think for themselves.
He should’ve laid his pitchforks down before it got real. And now it has. Sandy Hook was real and it happened, but let’s be real here, most of the news outlets used it as a selling point for their own bull**it. He’s a guy speaking his mind and people are trying to silence him. He was one of the first to say something about Jeff Epstein and his Island. He had an inside scoop on what took place on that island. He would have “hired” underage girls and guys between 12-16 to “work” for his rich business friends. Alex Jones was accurate about that.
Despite being right nine times out of ten. The msm should fear this judgment if you get sued for lying
This is fkn ridiculous literally people sewing for others thinking differently
Those lawyers are working together and I would sew them if I was jones
This whole case is bulshit
I think he exposed some though
Really 😂 Every1 on here believes MSNBC ahahahhaha. Omg. Come at me. I'm not n sydney. Muay thai pra tioner. 6 foot 5 would love 2 man up against you all Please. Please help
