Ben Shapiro Launders Fake News Smear of Alex Jones as Child Porn Trafficker

Neoconservative ‘Never Trump’ pundit Ben Shapiro is circulating fake news implying that Alex Jones is a child porn trafficker when he was actually the victim of a malware attack.
Shapiro shared the misleading tweet from a Daily Beast writer that did not make clear that Jones was the victim of a malware attack.
“The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to InfoWars email addresses,” the court documents stated, according to a report in the Connecticut Post.
Journalist Mike Cernovich called out the shameful dishonesty of the fake news to MSNBC host Chris Hayes who joined Shapiro in sharing the smear against Jones on Twitter.
Really gross you’re doing this. Emails were turned over pursuant to discovery order by judge. FBI determined Alex never opened them or even saw them as emails went to old address. If your view is “anything goes cuz Alex,” we’ll fine but that goes both ways, too.

Jones’ legal counsel, Robert Barnes talked about the Orwellian nature of this coordinated attack, as Jones no longer has access to platforms and cannot defend himself from the defamation onslaught against him on social media.
See how the de-platforming & defamation work hand in hand: by de-platforming #AlexJones, his adversaries in the media can lie & libel him, without him being able to mount a personal defense, because he has been silenced through de-platforming. This is their dystopian future.

The @nytimes & @WSJ are both begging to be sued by #AlexJones. They are particularly appropriate because their libelous headlines only unlock the truth in news stories hidden behind paywalls. Lawsuits would be brought in the Western District of Texas, where I am a general member.

Shapiro has a long history of hurling dishonest attacks toward President Trump and his supporters, often joining with the liberal mainstream media to do so.
He issued lies about Trump’s Charlottesville statement, claimed Trump was “deeply embarrassing and immoral” after he was cleared of Russian collusion in the Mueller report, criticized Trump’s foreign policy of engagement with North Korea, and claimed the Trump campaign assaulted a female reporter despite the evidence.
Shapiro has been even more mendacious and vindictive toward Trump’s supporters.
Shapiro piled on the Covington Catholic students for being accosted by hate-filled leftists, before backtracking, and never acknowledging that he joined in the crusade because students were wearing MAGA hats. He also used the Bible to perpetrate character destruction that ultimately kept Judge Roy Moore out of the Senate, and put a baby killer into federal office.
When it comes to weaselly ‘Never Trump’ sleeper cells in the conservative movement working against the ‘America First’ agenda, none are more subversive and devious than Shapiro.
