Alex Jones, the conspiracy-loving media personality, apologized Friday for his role in promoting “Pizzagate,” the baseless viral story that a Washington pizza restaurant was the locale of a child sex-abuse ring run by Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman, John Podesta.
In a surprising and rare bit of backtracking, Jones posted a six-minute video on his website, “InfoWars,” in which he read a prepared statement formally distancing himself and his site from what became a textbook story of fake news run amok. He addressed his apology to James Alefantis, the owner of Comet Ping Pong, the restaurant that was the supposed locale of the alleged conspiracy last year.
“I made comments about Mr. Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him,” Jones said. “We relied on third-party accounts of alleged activities and conduct at the restaurant. We also relied on accounts of [two] reporters who are no longer with us.”
Meanwhile, a North Carolina man who commandeered a Washington pizza restaurant with an assault-style rifle in December pleaded guilty Friday to weapons and assault charges in a deal with U.S. prosecutors.
Between this and TrumpCare going down in flames, true Trump believers can't catch a break.

True Trump believers haven't caught a break since becoming part of the GOP base decades ago.

Yet, they remain convinced that the GOP will deliver for them.

Didn't the first GOP President explain this?

Lincoln? How so? I don't recall him calling for a "...government of the rich folks, by the rich folks and for the rich folks."......
Lincoln intended to deprive rich people of ignorant, compliant slave labor, not create a ready supply for them.
That would have been Reagan.
