So why now. Sandy Hook was five years ago.

Parents of Sandy Hook victims are attacking Jones in a defamation lawsuit this year claiming they are harassed by people believing they are paid actors and the children did not even exist (or are still alive).

So this is raising the profile of Alex Jones.

As an aside, losing your child is probably one of the most horrific event that could happen in one's life. And moreover, imagine being harassed and accused of fabricating it and not even being able to go to the tomb. This is really hellish.

Because that's just an example. He has plenty of objectionable content.
Louis Farrakhan is on Apple Music and is far more objectionable in terms of his views of Jews than anything ever said by Alex Jones.
