Infowars' Alex Jones demolished by Sandy Hook mother

US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $A70 million in damages after falsely claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

Jones – host of Infowars, and a renowned conspiracy theorist - has repeatedly argued that the shooting was a hoax orchestrated by the government to strip Americans of gun rights, and that the parents of the dead children were "crisis actors."

We’re joined by Elizabeth Williamson - New York Times journalist and author of Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth” who explains how and why Jones spread these awful untruths, and what this court decision means for his future.

Can Alex Jones and Infowars survive this brutal demolition by the parents of a Sandy Hook victim?
