On the same day that Edgar Welch pleaded guilty to weapons charges for “investigating” a Washington, DC pizza place because he believed it was a front for a child-slavery ring, one of the guys who egged him on was publicly apologizing for it. And it’s about time.
Radio host Alex Jones, who helped propagate the fictitious “pizzagate” conspiracy theory that Washington, D.C., pizzeria Comet Ping Pong was a front for a child sex trafficking ring led by John Podesta, apologized to the restaurant owner, James Alefantis…
“In our commentary about what had become known as Pizzagate, I made comments about Mr. Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him. We were participating in a discussion that was being written about by scores of media outlets, in one of the most hotly contested and disputed political environments our country has ever seen,” Jones said in a statement he posted to his website.
Here’s Alex Jones reading the statement. You might not recognize him at first because he’s not yelling:
I rarely listen to AJ, and yes he can be overbearing, but the apology seems professional, and it will be a cold day in hell before CNN issues any similar apology for proactively campaigning for Clinton.
