Attorney Mark Bankston, who has represented Sandy Hook families, didn’t mince words when discussing Rodgers’ alleged false and conspiratorial beliefs.
Following a report claiming that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers spread lies about the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, one lawyer representing families affected by the tragedy asked Rodgers to exercise more discretion when he spoke ― although the language he used was a little more colorful.
In a CNN story Wednesday, reporter Pamela Brown described an interaction she had with Rodgers in 2013, in which he falsely claimed that the Sandy Hook attack ― which left 20 children and six adults dead ― was orchestrated by the government.
Another source, not identified by name in the CNN piece, claimed that Rodgers had also said “Sandy Hook never happened,” and that “all those children never existed. They were all actors.”
Dangerous conspiracies like these were at the center of several lawsuits that Sandy Hook families filed against Infowars host Alex Jones, who spent years falsely claiming that various parents who lost their children to gun violence were “actors.”
Mark is a fucking champ. He’s done so much good and I admire his efforts. I also love his willingness to talk about the Alex Jones case, and would recommend everyone to listen to his interviews on Knowledge Fight. Fantastic.
Knowledge Fight is the only good source for actually credible information on Alex Jones and how awful he is and also just a hell of an entertaining podcast!
It’s the Mark Bankston of podcasts!
As someone whose never heard of this pod cast but is interested in checking it out, is there a good starting point?
That’s a good question, since the podcast library is fucking huge!
What I personally did was just start listening to what was current that day and then went back to things that had interesting titles. When there were gaps of uploads and I’d listened to all of those I went back and looked at other old episodes. People do seem to think that the episode covering January 7, 2011 is a nice starting point.
It’s honestly not one of those things you have to know much to get into. It’ll come slowly with time either way you listen. Sometimes there are of course episodes that bleed into each other since the podcast documents Info Wars on a semi-daily basis.
Thanks, appreciate the answer!
Dan and Jordan do a wonderful job of documenting the man.
Well Dan does a wonderful job researching and documenting the man, Jordan does a wonderful job reacting and they both do a wonderful job discussing and analyzing while being hilarious to boot 😁❤️
I was gonna say that it was mostly Dan, but honestly the podcast wouldn’t be as engaging without the dynamic they have.
I agree completely. Dan might do the vast majority of the work, but that doesn’t mean that Jordan’s contribution isn’t indispensable or that their chemistry as comedians and friends isn’t excellent!
Jordan’s no dummy btw, not that I thought that you thought so. He often has extremely good insights that Dan hadn’t thought of.
Plus there’s the fact that Dan would doubtlessly have lost his mind years ago if he’d have had to do it alone lol
Absolutely. Dan is just torturing himself and Jordan is smart enough not to do it lol
Time to send him more gummy worms!
Also, for those who don’t know, Mark Bankston (or arguably Andino Reynal, lol) was the reason we got this pic:
Fucking Reynal, man. What a class E lawyer. One step above Norm.
He looks like Amanda Waller just activated the bomb in his neck
