.HuffPost exclusive: NRA official sought Sandy Hook hoaxer to question Parkland shooting, emails show
An official with the National Rifle Association corresponded with a prominent Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist to call into question the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, emails obtained by HuffPost show.
Richardson is a training instructor and program coordinator with the NRA. He has worked there since 2006, according to a social media post. In an emailed statement to HuffPost, he confirmed he had been in contact with Halbig and said he was asking a “legitimate question.” Sen. Chris Murphy condemned Jones’ fearmongering conspiracy theories Tuesday on MSNBC, along with the tech companies that allow those dangerous theories to proliferate.
His discussions on Infowars have included the sickening theory that 6-year-old Avielle Richman didn’t die in the Sandy Hook shooting. In a 2018 email to Richardson, Halbig mentions the girl’s name in capital letters in the subject line.
