If Alex jones pays for lying shouldn’t every celebrity pushing vaccines pay too ?

beyond fucked up take. also, she is really downplaying what Alex Jones did to those poor families.

[hyperpop]

Her first album in 6 years comes out tomorrow, so it’s not even just for her dumb beliefs it’s 100% for promo too. Fucking gross

[ponyboy]

nah she's been into pizzagate too

[hyperpop]

Oh i’m sure, she’s been nuts for years. It just feels even more cynical to me to use something like this to promote an album

[jeterluva]

This is so sad. I used to love her music but I haven't listened to her in years. I wonder what she even talks about on the new album.

[xbenji65]

Yeah, Republicans really love downplaying what Alex Jones did.

No matter what you think of Alex Jones all he did was speak words.

He was not the one who pulled the trigger.

Were his words wrong and did he apologize? Yes.

That’s what freedom of speech is. Freedom to speak words.

Political persecution must end.https://t.co/3X81xOCS9j

The way they do this is infuriating, it's either completely disingenuous or they're extremely simple minded.

[invisiblegirlx]

He did cause harm with his words that's why he's paying

[slinkydinks]

The absolute gall. They couldn't say that to the parents' faces. They're only internet brave. And you just know if someone ever doxxed them and said even a fraction of the nasty shit A*** J**** said, they'd be crying all over the evening news.

[angebleu]

His words were used to hurt and rile his listeners to harass the parents. But she is dumb and can't put two and two together.

"freedom to speak words"

[yankeesarelove]

this is utter projection so she can be like "im not guilty either" when people bring up the utterly insane nonsense she spews every day to her hateful followers

[kriskross]

The way Republicans are bastardizing the First Amendment...it's insane the amount of times in the last few years I've had to remind people that freedom of speech does not mean you can say whatever the fuck you want without consequences.

[lysblack]

why it's always these alt right dumbasses who think that freedom of speech equals freedom of repercussions and punishment?!

[krissasaur]

The problem with this is that it's only truly "free speech" to them when it's a white rich conservative man who is on their side. If Alex was brown and said this shit they would throw him under and unclaim him so fast.

[belle_chouette]

Well, all the judge did was speak words too, so …?
