Alex Jones claims he is a Trump advisor as he continues to promote his conspiracy theories like Pizzagate and Sandy Hook:

Jones is also one of the nation's leading promoters of conspiracy theories — some of which take on lives of their own. He has been a chief propagator of untrue and wild claims about a satanic sex trafficking ring run by one of Hillary Clinton's top advisers out of a pizzeria in Washington, D.C.

Infowars' Alex Jones Claims Ear Of Trump, Pushes 'Pizzagate' Fictions : NPR

One of Alex Jones' conspiracies is that no one died at Sandy Hook:

Hillary Clinton correct that Austin's Alex Jones said no one died at Sandy Hook Elementary | PolitiFact Texas

Finally, one of his conspiracy followers has been arrested for death threats against one of the Sandy Hook parents. Like the man arrested Sunday for bringing a gun into the Washington DC pizza restaurant to "investigate" Pizzagate, it's good to see some of these people get charged.

“If convicted, each count carries a maximum term of five years’ imprisonment,” the statement explained. “Richards was arrested on December 5, 2016 and made her initial appearance before United States Magistrate Judge Mark Pizzo in the Middle District of Florida. Richards is scheduled for an initial appearance in Fort Lauderdale on December 19, 2016.”

Like most right-wing, paranoid conspiracy theories, Sandy Hook truther-ism is encouraged and reinforced by Alex Jones and his followers at InfoWars.com.

Are they going to charge the msm for their fake news? What about all the fake news about Trump being a racist, islamophobe, homophobe, that has lead to all the protests that caused destruction of public, and private property, and all the people being assaulted?

What about the thousands of deaths from the msm fake news about WMDs in Iraq?

Crazy people will do crazy things all the time, that doesn't mean that people shouldn't have free speech.

Someone made a death threat against a Sandy Hook parent.

How does that equate to getting arrested over "conspiracy theories"? And where is the link between Jones and this individual?

I know free speech is stupid, and the sooner the regressive left kills it, the better.

The links explain that the person that made the death threats believed the conspiracy theories promoted by claimed Trump advisor Alex Jones, including that Sandy Hook never happened; that Sandy Hook was fake and the children did not die. The person then made multiple death threats against the father of one of the children.
