Well you know who the Alex Jones fans on here are judging by their defense of his past statements, lol.

Here is the audio of him calling it a hoax: https://www.mediamatters.org/embed/c...1228-sandyhook

Thank you Media Matters.

The sound bite was the exact same garbage he exposed Meghan Kelly of doing. You should have listened to more of the segment and gotten the entire gist of what he was saying and doing. Him playing devils advocate as well as what he actually said was the hoax.

I understand what he was doing and I understand that people will easily get confused on his intent. It's not a good way to get his point across. Although I agree with him on policies his delivery is real strange so I rarely listen.

I had never seen him til I watched both videos. He obviously did call it a hoax. But, why will no one answer the questions that have been asked? I think it happened. But I saw on here where the school closing was listed in the local paper several years before the shooting. That there was no internet or utilities on at the building. If they don't want a conspiracy theory, why not just answer the questions?
Is it to someone's advantage to make people doubt it?
I remember when it was going on and I thought then, why is this crime scene being so poorly managed? Was it just a screwup by the locals?

Yep, acting like a chameleon changing colors when he gets called out for it Blue? Nope, I'm actually green, see?. It's convenient on his part, because he doesn't have to take responsibility for what he said.

You have no proof of what he actually was saying because you never listened to him explaining what he did and why. One of things Jones does is question everything. He said it wasn't a hoax in another segment. Why didn't you address that?

And that is what he was referring to when he called it a hoax.
What you've listened to is something edited and or taken out of context.

The gun lobby comes to mind. Not to mention the "God, Guns, and Guts will stop the Socialist and Jihadist Nuts!" faction (updated version of the 80s "Communist nuts")

You never listened to what he said. You're into sound bites. That's very reckless. Why are you commenting on something when you are ignorant about the subject? Sorry if the truth hurts and doesn't fit your twisted agenda.

here's his direct quotes from the clip:

" the whole thing [ sandy hook ] is a giant hoax and the problem is how do you deal with a total hoax? how do you convince the public something is a hoax?"


" it took me about a year to come to grips that the whole thing was fake."


what exact statements did he make later in the show that contradicts this?
