Looks like Alex Jones should prepare for another multi-million dollar judgment against him.
The conspiracy theorist and InfoWars host left many shocked after throwing a tantrum on the stand during his latest civil trial in which he is being sued by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook massacre for his years-long claims the shooting was a liberal hoax.
Ranting from the witness stand, Jones declared, "I'm done saying I'm sorry!" less than two months after he was ordered to pay $50 million to other Sandy Hook parents during a previous trial that ended in August.
See his tirade below.
\u201cA wild scene at the end of the Alex Jones trial today when Alex turned into Col. Jessup, talking about liberals loving to kill Iraqis, then: \u201cI legitimately thought (Sandy Hook) might have been staged, and I stand by that and don\u2019t apologize for it.\u201d\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
Jones claimed for years on InfoWars Sandy Hook was a false flag perpetrated by actors pretending to be the dead children and their parents as part of a liberal plot to outlaw gun ownership.
His repeatedly sharing his false claims lead to years of harassment and death threats against the victims' families from Jones' legion of fans.
He is currently on trial in the second of a series of lawsuits filed against him by the victims' families.
While being questioned by the Sandy Hook parents' lawyer, Jones ranted about liberals "switching emotions on and off "whenever you want" and accused the parents' attorney of "ambulance chasing."
In response, the attorney asked Jones to "show a little respect" for the fact the people in the courtroom have lost family members, including small children, in the deadliest school shooting in American history.
Jones gave a mocking reply back and implied the courtroom proceedings were a totalitarian interrogation.
“Is this a struggle session? Are we in China?”
He then launched into a tirade about his feelings about the Sandy Hook shooting, first refusing to apologize and then blaming liberals' criticisms of America's lax gun laws for his attacks on the Sandy Hook families.
“I’ve already said sorry hundreds of times, and I am done saying I am sorry."
"I didn't generate this, I wasn't the first person to say it.
"American gun owners didn't like being blamed for this, like the left did, so we rejected it mentally and said it must not be true."
"I legitimately thought it might have been staged, and I stand by that and I don't apologize..."
"...I've already apologized to the parents over and over again. I don't apologize to you."
Jones' lawyer began yelling objections throughout his tirade, prompting the judge to admonish them both, telling Jones “this is not a press conference, this is clearly not your show."
On Twitter, many were disgusted by Jones' comments and behavior.
\u201c@RonFilipkowski And he just lost his defamation case. Between this and the previous case I hope the parents bleed InfoWars dry.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
\u201c@RonFilipkowski You owe those families restitution, Alex. Your followers harassed, threatened, and pursued these grieving people due to your failure to verify the story you were putting out. "Honest belief" is not a defense when there were ways to discover the truth you did not take.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
\u201cAfter torturing the families of the Sandy Hook massacre for years by claiming the tragedy was a hoax, Alex Jones still can\u2019t show compassion and empathy, even when his freedom might depend on it. \nhttps://t.co/VRz0xZMMrX\u201d— Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (@Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi) 1664146801
\u201cI hope Sandy Hook families put Alex Jones in financial ruin. He deserves that and he deserves jail.\u201d— Ricky Davila (@Ricky Davila) 1663856648
\u201c@RonFilipkowski If there are indeed family members of those who were killed in the Sandy Hook shooting who are seated in this courtroom, they're showing remarkable restraint, respect (not for Jones), and resiliency.\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
\u201c@RonFilipkowski @Betterw05759703 I give those parents so much credit sitting there\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
\u201c@RonFilipkowski No compassion whatsoever disgusting man. He should apologize everyday to these families he sure talked about them everyday!\u201d— Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ron Filipkowski \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1663879867
\u201cAlex Jones says he's done saying he's sorry. Not very smart when damages are still to be assessed. If it were up to me he would lose every penny he has and every penny he will make for the rest of his life.\u201d— Bill Shine (@Bill Shine) 1663943084
\u201cJust unbelievable. Alex Jones is not sorry at all. Meanwhile the families that he tortured with his unhinged lies are crying in the courtroom. \n\nI hope he loses everything. Everything.\nhttps://t.co/9Uzwblndu5\u201d— Renee (@Renee) 1663884893
\u201cAlex Jones lost his mind during testimony today that ' He is tired of apologizing for what he said about Sandy Hook '. F*ck him, he already lost by default, bankrupt his sorry ass. This trial is about how much he has to pay the families\u201d— Henry (@Henry) 1663903626
\u201cAlex Jones in his second Sandy Hook defamation trial today:\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve already said I\u2019m sorry hundreds of times and I\u2019m done saying I'm sorry.\u201d\n\nI can't write what I think his punishment should be. Breaking him financially is a good start, but just doesn't seem severe enough.\u201d— \ud83c\udf39Weegie \u2618\ufe0f (@\ud83c\udf39Weegie \u2618\ufe0f) 1663886706
Though Jones was slapped with a $50 million judgment in his first Sandy Hook trial, the state of Texas, where Jones resides and where that case was filed and tried, caps such judgments at far less.
Connecticut however, where the current case was filed and is being tried, does not have such limits, opening Jones up to a financially calamitous judgment if he loses.
Jones is attempting to file bankruptcy, presumably to protect himself from the judgments against him, but that isn't going very well for him either.
