During his monologue on Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel was pleased with the massive defeat suffered by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Jones lost big in court on Wednesday, as a Connecticut civil jury ordered him to pay $965 million in compensation for years of harassment, slander, lying and intimidation to the families of children killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, which Jones said. lobbied against them. Jones claims he’s bankrupt and can’t pay it, but whatever it is, it’s good news for those who aren’t scum.
“Today was a rough day for the disgusting and ridiculous Alex Jones,” Kimmel said, approaching the subject near the end of his monologue. “Alex Jones was today ordered by a jury in Connecticut to pay $965 million in damages to the families of eight victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, which he repeatedly called a hoax.”
“He tormented these families. He accused them of pretending to be the death of their children,” Kimmel continued. “In August, a jury in Texas ordered her to pay nearly $50 million to the parents of another Sandy Hook victim, meaning that between the two cases, she is now giving these parents a billion dollars. pays damages in excess of a dollar.”
“I think the good guys just won InfoWars, that’s what happened,” Kimmel joked.
Kimmel noted that Jones insisted that he would not pay any of this money, and after the verdict, Jones “was completely fit as the verdict was read.” Kimmel then played footage of Jones’ reaction to the whole thing—in which he pitched his Quake Health supplements. “See what it does for your body,” Jones said.
“Yeah, well, we can see what this is doing to your body. I mean, to a sunburned walrus, you look fabulous,” Kimmel responded. “Now go those moms. -Bring that money for dad, you disgusting pink trash person.”
