Jones had repeatedly made the false claim that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged and that those involved were so-called “crisis actors.” He admitted in court that the tragedy was genuine.

CNN’s Laura Coates asked a panel on Friday if there is “a risk that he becomes a political martyr” following the trial. Contributor Alice Stewart argued that Jones would not but Williams disagreed.

“For the first time tonight, I think we’re going to have a little bit of a disagreement here,” Williams said. “No, I think he does become a martyr here. He’s already on Infowars tonight talking about this garbage, and there are people who are listening to it and actually think that this individual is some sort of hero.”

He added: “So, he is somebody who the deep state and the lefties or whomever else who are coming after you – you Americans – they are now taking $50 million away from Alex Jones. So, I think the martyrdom complex is starting, it will be in full effect and not going anywhere. And like you said, Laura, he’s still got his platform and he’s still going.”
