“Today was a rough day for the despicable and ridiculous Alex Jones,” Jimmy Kimmel said midway through his late-night monologue on Wednesday.
The InfoWars founder was hit with nearly a billion dollars in damages by a Connecticut jury for spreading disinformation about the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. “He tormented these families,” Kimmel, who has been an outspoken advocate for action on guns, said. “He accused them of faking their children’s deaths.”
“Alex, of course, says he won’t pay a cent, he declared bankruptcy to try to protect himself,” the host explained, “and had a full-on hissy fit as the verdict was read.”
