InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said his false statements after tragic mass shootings were caused by a 'psychosis.'
Jones, who isregarding his comments on the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, is accused of perpetuating conspiracy theories that the tragedy was a staged event and that parents lied about their children's deaths.
The lawsuits"seek to hold Mr. Jones accountable for his vile assertions that the Sandy Hook parents were lying about what happened to their children,"In the three-hour disposition, Jones said that"the public doesn’t believe what they’re told anymore" because of corruption in the government and the"mainstream media."
"And I, myself, have almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I’m now learning a lot of times things aren’t staged," Jones said. He did not follow up his assertion with information on where he may have been evaluated or diagnosed with a psychosis."So long before these lawsuits I said that in the past I thought everything was a conspiracy and I would kind of get into that mass group-think of the communities that were out there saying that," Jones continued."And so now I see that it’s more in the middle. All right? So that’s where I stand.
