This is a live shot. https://t.co/iqsSRHswKa Jones, the founder of InfoWars, has repeatedly asserted on his radio and online platform that the school shooting was orchestrated by the federal government. He claimed that the government did so as a cover for gun control and in 2015, he said: "Sandy Hook is synthetic, completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured." As per Celebrity Net Worth, the controversial commentator and conspiracy theorist's net worth is $10 million. It seems to have decreased by tens of millions thanks to his defamation cases over the years.

Jesse Lewis was six when he was gunned down during the massacre. Scarlett said: "I am a mother, first and foremost, and I know that you're a father. And my son existed. You're still on your show implying that I'm an actress, that I'm deep state and I don't understand. Truth is so vital to our world." Jesse's parents, Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, who have separated since the shooting, claimed that Alex Jones' supporters harassed them. The two said that Jones' supporters also sent them death threats, believing that they were lying about their son's death.
