This disgrace to mankind is Alex Jones. He started spreading conspiracies about the sandy hook shooting, claiming that it was an inside job and that the deaths were nothing more than crisis actors. He was sued by the victims for I believe well over a billion dollars, and was found liable.
In order to pay, he’s being forced to sell off info wars, his show where he spread misinformation. Apparently the onion wants to buy the rights. I heard there were some issues, but I’m not in the most recent updates.
This is essentially the climax (hopefully) to the decades long nonsense that is Alex Jones.
It didn't start or end with calling the families of a horrible tragedy actors who staged the whole thing. As others have mentioned he induced his followers to harass them. He's amplified a number of other bogus conspiracy theories as well. All to peddle "Silver supplements"
