Thomas Massie posted a pic on twitter of him and his family all holding evil black rifles. You should have seen the vile things leftists said about them.

They say vile things about all conservatives. Jones just has a bigger soap box. CNN/MSNBC personalities have said vile things about Trump and his family. They have an even bigger soap box than Jones. Do you think a case against them would ever be successful?

If you think that is what his trial was about, you might want to do some research.

He started out saying that the event did not happen. Then he went on and on about how the parents were actors. Then he doubled down and told the parents their kids were not dead.

Most of the children were found in a bathroom with their heads blown off.

Alex Jones is a vile creature who ONLY cares about Alex Jones. If you think he is an ally of your political heroes...you need to examine your definition of ally.

There is certainly hypocrisy here. But there is also a significant difference. Trump (and arguably his family) are public figures. The courts give wide latitude when the target is a public figure.

Jones targeted private individuals. The courts are much less forgiving in those cases.

As an example, I could publish a paper claiming - with very little proof - that Joe Biden is a drug addict. Biden could sue me, but he would lose. If I did the same thing, now claiming my next door neighbor was a drug addict, I would probably lose.
