Quote:Mr. Jones made the apology to the owner of Comet Ping Pong, James Alefantis, on video, reading from a carefully worded statement that emphasized how widely the theory had spread before he weighed in on it. He said that Infowars had “disassociated” itself from the story in December and had taken down the majority of broadcasts and videos that mentioned it. Mr. Jones also said that two reporters the show had worked with “are no longer with us,” although he did not identify them or discuss the exact nature of their work with Infowars.
“To my knowledge today, neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking, as was part of the theories about Pizzagate that were being written about in many media outlets and which we commented upon,” Mr. Jones said. “We apologize to the extent our commentaries could be construed as negative statements about Mr. Alefantis or Comet Ping Pong, and we hope that anyone else involved in commenting on Pizzagate will do the same thing.”

I'll translate for anyone that doesn't speak delusional shithead. "I've come to realize that Mr. Alefantis rightfully has a fat lawsuit he could lay on me, and I'm trying to get ahead of it."
So, there we have it. That's the way to get a macho asshole like AJ to eat crow. Threaten his pocket book.
Of course, this leaves the true believers with few options. Perhaps they will have to admit that Alex Jones is nothing but a shyster peddling bullshit for profit. The more likely scenario that I see is that they will have to believe that the Illuminati/NWO/Clintons got to him, too. They'll probably split into factions that either believe he is now one of "them," or "they" have something so powerful over his head that he has no choice to play ball, like maybe "they" kidnapped his family or something.
Regardless, it's always fun watching pompous assholes having to get down on their knees and pretend they have some integrity.
