Infowars founder Alex Jones apologizes for role in perpetuating "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory
New York Daily News ^ | March 25, 2017 | Jessica Schladebeck

Founder of Infowars and conspiracy-peddling media personality Alex Jones apologized for his role in spreading the baseless viral theory that claimed Hillary Clinton and other Democratic leaders were involved in a child sex trafficking ring run out of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria.

Jones on Friday shared a six-minute video on his website in which he distanced himself from the “Pizzagate” theory that emerged after Wikileaks dumped the emails of Clinton Campaign chair John Podesta.

The story, he said, “was based upon what we now believe was an incorrect narrative.”

Jones did not come up with this theory. It was all over the Internet first. Big sites like Reddit, Twitter, and God Like Productions were all over it.

You blaming Jones for talking about a viral story on the Internet is like blaming Limbaugh for talking about it.

Complete nonsense!

For the record, Alex almost immediately stopped “Comet Pizza” from as soon as it came out.

Think on Day Two Alex was saying I’m not convinced by this and see it as a distraction from Podesta’s and Hillary’s emails?

It was two of Alex staffers that were pushing it that are no longer with Infowars.

I even saw the Comet Pizzastory more on web sites like Free Republic.

I think someone got to him. He’s always putting stuff out there that’s far fetched. But he’s never apologized. That’s fishy to me.

Globalist elitist pedophilia is real and rampant.

Globalist elites wield enormous power to suppress information about same.

Start with those two premises, and work from there.

I watched the "apology" video and I can't rule out the possibility that it might be legitimate; All Jones was really apologizing for was talking about the involvement of the one guy, Alafantis, and the Comet Pizza parlor, he didn't mention any of the wider issues involving fat-cat pedo rings.

I would still like to see a wide-ranging investigation of this dentire business by real people starting with Trey Gowdy.

I think the pedos are fighting back via Lawfare, it is the tool Islamist slime like CAIR uses, why wouldn’t pedos of another stripe use the same tactic?
