Marjorie Taylor Green Says Alex Jones Is Persecuted

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) comments on the $1 billion verdict against Alex Jones:

No matter what you think of Alex Jones all he did was speak words. He was not the one who pulled the trigger. Were his words wrong and did he apologize? Yes. That’s what freedom of speech is. Freedom to speak words. Political persecution must end.

David French: “Defamation isn’t protected speech. The message sent is that lying about the parents of murdered children has legal consequences, including compensatory and punitive damages. It’s basic American law.”
