In contentious cross-examination, Infowars host Alex Jones’ claim that he was sucked into lying about the Sandy Hook shooting was undercut Wednesday, and he conceded that the massacre was “100% real.”
Jones, who has repeatedly suggested that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, said Wednesday that he was “baited” several times into speaking about the incident and tried to correct himself and apologize to the victims but that his words were twisted by what he called “corporate media.” He said he now believes the attack happened.
“Especially since I’ve met the parents," he said Wednesday. "It’s 100% real.”
Jones, the conspiracy theorist whose trial is being held in Austin, Texas, where his media company is based, said he has been “caught in this situation where I’ve been basically typecast as someone that runs around talking about Sandy Hook, who made money off Sandy Hook, who was obsessed with Sandy Hook when it was less than one-tenth of 1%, over those six years, of what we covered.”
“It was frustrating then,” Jones said of the years after the Sandy Hook shooting. “It’s infinitely now.”
