WATERBURY, Conn. — A combative Alex Jones arrived at the courthouse in Waterbury where he is being sued for defamation and attacked the presiding judge, who he said is trying to force him to lie about what he believes and has said about the Sandy Hook school massacre.
“This judge is a tyrant,” Jones said outside the courthouse. “This judge is ordering me to say that I’m guilty and to say that I am a liar. None of that is true.”
“I was not wrong about Sandy Hook on purpose,” he said. “I questioned it. Just like Jussie Smollett. Just like WMDs in Iraq. Just like the Gulf of Tonkin. There are a lot of staged events in history, just like WMDs in Iraq, and I questioned every major event.”
