Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after he was ordered to fork over $965 million for propagating lies about the Sandy Hook school massacre. Jones is a thoroughly repulsive creature that profited from the corpses of murdered children. Only someone as vile as the Georgia Republican would defend his actions.
Rep. Sporkfoot took to Twitter to say, "Political persecution must end," and claimed Jones had apologized and was using his right to free speech. However, Jones certainly hasn't sounded remorseful for his heinous actions.
And, of course, Jones was free to call the massacre a hoax, but that doesn't mean there won't be consequences for his dangerous rhetoric. She said that Jones "was not the one who pulled the trigger," but, of course, Charles Manson never personally murdered anyone, either.
Twitter users pounced, including Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung. She noted that Jones was holding a press conference outside the courthouse while she was inside testifying how the conspiracy theorist's supporters threatened to rape her because of the InfoWars founder's lies.
What a foolish woman, and she has children. You would think she would have at least a tiny bit of empathy for the grieving families of slaughtered children.
