Alex Jones Begs Followers to Buy Infowars Products After $4.1 Million Judgment

Infowars owner Alex Jones begged his followers to buy InfoWars products after a jury ordered him to pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old murdered in the Sandy Hook shooting.

Jones repeatedly spread conspiracy theories about the shooting that left 20 children dead, calling the massacre a hoax and its victims and their families “crisis actors.” The parents in this case, Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, testified about being threatened and harassed thanks to those conspiracies.

Jones has since admitted his claims about Sandy Hook were not true.

“I admitted I was wrong,” said Jones in a video posted to InfoWars’ website on Thursday following the judgement. “I admitted I made a mistake. I admitted that I followed disinformation, but not on purpose. I apologized to the families.”

“And the jury understood that. What I did to those families is wrong but I didn’t do it on purpose,” he said.

The Infowars host made sure to blast the judge in the case, complaining that she repeatedly told the jury during the trial that he was guilty. That’s because he was. Jones had already been found guilty of defamation in a trial last year. The two week lawsuit that concludes this week was held to determine damages.

Jones said the judgment is “more money than my company and I personally have. But we are going to work on trying to make restitution there.”

Jones said Infowars is “in bankruptcy right now. We’re maxed out. We can barely keep the crew employed. We are fighting hard for your First Amendment, your Second Amendment, your 10th Amendment, your sovereignty.”

Then, Jones made an appeal to his followers for cash.

InfoWars has “a plan to stay on air through this bankruptcy. We have a reorganization plan,” Jones said, before warning “if you don’t fund us, if you don’t buy products at infowarsstore.com, we will shut down.”

During the trial, lawyers for the Sandy Hook parents questioned Jones’s claims about his dire financial straits. They obtained documents showing Infowars has made more than $800,000 per day from merchandise ranging from dietary supplements to survivalist gear.

On Friday, during the punitive damages phase of the trial, the parents’ lawyers argued Infowars made even more money after being deplatformed by Twitter and Facebook in 2018.

“We are so broke that I’m not even worried about that [$4.1] million,” said Jones. “I’m worried about our bankruptcy to emergency stabilize Infowars and we have a plan. But to do that, we need support.”

Jones concluded by saying he will give Lewis his number and “gladly” invite her to be on his show next week and will raise money for her nonprofit organization, Choose Love.
