No one agrees with what he said, continued the congresswoman, but what were tired of is the political persecution.
Alex Jones was not sued by the any government entity or political personality. He was sued by people who were affected by his lies. The people who sued him were victimized a second time when his lies led people to harass and threaten the plaintiffs.
HOWEVER, Alex Jones' behavior was most decidedly political. He made up lies about the victims of Sandy Hook (and their families) to further his own political narrative.

This serves to keep people frighted and docile. Makes them easier to control.
Many GOP leaders get off on hurting others. Makes them feel powerful.
Lets them act out their hatred and anger.
Hitler, Stalin, Putin tactics.
