Alex Jones apologizes for propagating 'pizzagate' conspiracy theory
Radio host Alex Jones, who helped propagate the fictitious "pizzagate" conspiracy theory that Washington, D.C., pizzeria Comet Ping Pong was a front for a child sex trafficking ring led by John Podesta, apologized to the restaurant owner, James Alefantis, last night on his show "Info Wars."
"In our commentary about what had become known as Pizzagate, I made comments about Mr. Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him. We were participating in a discussion that was being written about by scores of media outlets, in one of the most hotly contested and disputed political environments our country has ever seen," Jones said in a statement he posted to his website.
Jones said that "InfoWars" relied on third party accounts of activities at Comet Ping Pong, and relied on accounts from reporters who are no longer with his website.
In February, Alefantis sent Jones a letter asking for a retraction of statements made on air about him and his business. Alefantis' team considered taking legal action, which likely moved Jones to make a formal withdrawal of his claims.

Unfortunately under Texas civil law, his apology makes it impossible to sue him in state court...
Hope they take it to federal court and hang his ass.
