A jury recently punished conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for spreading lies about the relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, but his claims continue to be echoed online.
published the day after the verdict was issued in Jones’ defamation case, The Washington Post recalled that moment aired on CNN, when Parker became the first parent of a child killed in the shooting"to voice his grief in public" — an"anguished statement, full of love for Emilie" that was broadcast across the country.
"Jones, too, was watching," the Post reported."He seized upon something Parker did — a brief laugh at a remark by his father as he faced an unexpectedly large throng of journalists — to advance the falsehood that the shooting was staged."
