Conspiracy Nut Must Empty His Tree!

Can't call reality a conspiracy.

The InfoWars host is ordered to pay the families of the Sandy Hook massacre.

He is required to pay $4 million to Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, the parents of Jesse Lewis, the 6-year old boy who was killed along with 24 others at the elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

For years, this asshole kept reminding his listeners that Sandy Hook was staged and the victims were crisis actors.

An attorney for the asshole asked jurors to award Heslin and Lewis only $1.

The jury was only asked to decide whether the asshole, who has already been found liable by a judge because he did not hand over critical evidence before the trial began, must also pay Jesse's parents for the emotional distress and reputational damage caused by his false claims. The jury will also decide whether to award punitive damages. The panel will hear testimony on that subject Friday.

Speaking on Infowars Thursday, the asshole said he’d made a mistake and “followed disinformation — but not on purpose. I apologized to the families and the jury understood that.”

Noting that the plaintiffs had been awarded $4 million — and not the $150 million they’d sought — asshole also described the verdict as a “big victory against the tyrants and the new world order.”

The trial included testimony from both parents and asshole, who has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights. Following the shooting, he had asserted that it was fabricated and included crisis actors. He later acknowledged that it took place.

His attorney, Andino Reynal, argued that the asshole has paid for his mistake by losing millions of followers after he was removed from social media platforms in 2018.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Reynal told jurors, referring to the asshole. “That mistake was weaponized by the same political forces that had descended upon Sandy Hook when it happened.”

As the jury deliberated Thursday, Reynal requested a mistrial because his team accidentally sent the contents of the asshole’s cell phone to lawyers for Heslin and Lewis. A lawyer for Heslin and Lewis used some of the information on Wednesday to point out inconsistencies in the asshole’s testimony. The judge denied the request.

Heslin and Lewis testified on Tuesday that asshole's lies left them in fear for their lives and compounded their grief.

“Having a 6-year-old son shot in front of his classroom is unbearable and you don’t think you’re going to survive and then to have someone on top of that perpetuate a lie that it was a hoax, that it was a false flag,” Lewis said, speaking directly to the asshole during her testimony. “I don’t think you understand the fear you perpetuate, not just to the victim’s family but to our family, our friends and any survivor from that school.”

The crux of the trial is a 2017 episode of NBC’s “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly,” on which Heslin appeared and challenged the asshole’s denial of the shooting. Heslin says in the episode: “I held my son with a bullet hole through his head.”

The asshole and another Infowar host later implied that Heslin had lied. 

Heslin and Lewis are among several Sandy Hook families who have filed lawsuits against the asshole arguing that his statements that the mass shooting was a hoax have led to years of abuse from his followers.
