InfoWars' Alex Jones Says He's Been Defamed by Defamation Suits

On Monday, the families of 6-year-old victims Jesse Lewis and Noah Pozner - two of 26 kids and teachers slain when gunman Adam Lanza opened fire on Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 - both sued Jones for more than $1 million over his claims that the massacre was a hoax and the kids and parents involved were actors.

The lawsuits allege that Jones' insistence that the shooting was staged encouraged others to make death threats against the victims' families.

A moment later, Jones went on: "They can't find anywhere where I have said that I know the kids killed at Sandy Hook were actors or that it didn't happen" and furthermore, he said, he's been criticized by conspiracy theorists who maintain the Sandy Hook events were fake-"because I don't buy into that".

Alex Jones whined that the defamation lawsuits were created to toss him in jail or kill him.

Jones said Tuesday in a YouTube video that the families are being used by the Democratic Party and the news media, and that he believes Sandy Hook "really happened".

Jesse and Noah were among the 20 first-grade students gunned down inside the school in CT on December 14, 2012.

Kelly noted that every time Jones returns to the subject of Newtown, his lunatic theories cause a resurgence of emotional distress for the Newtown families. Jones claimed in the broadcast that the Sandy Hook shooting was faked, the Huffington Post reported.

The same day, Jones disputed Clinton's statement, telling viewers that Clinton "lied, not only to the USA but the world. that I say that no children died at Sandy Hook and they were all actors".

"And it's not that I'm running away from saying I think it was a hoax if I think it was a hoax", he said. He said he believes the lawsuits will be thrown out.
