Watch: Alex Jones blames his Sandy Hook trutherism on 'psychosis' in disastrous deposition

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has promoted the idea that the Sandy Hook shooting, which left dozens of children and teachers dead, was a "false flag" operation.

Jones arguably caused irreparable emotional damage to the families and survivors of Sandy Hook. He's been the target of several lawsuits.

On Friday, the Huffington Postpublished a video of Jones’ deposition. The conspiracy theorist claimed that he couldn’t remember what he’d said about Sandy Hook in the aftermath of the shooting. Since the lawsuits, Jones has admitted he believes it happened.

"I told you five minutes ago before you played it that as a boilerplate of any big public event, whether it’s Jussie Smollett or whether it’s babies having their brains bashed out in incubators or WMDs, that I upfront questioned it because of things from Operation Northwoods and hundreds of declassified real staged events where our Government admits that it staged event," Jones says.

He also said "psychosis" made him think Sandy Hook was staged, according to the Huffington Post.
