Roger Stone admits to spreading lies on InfoWars, agrees to apologize publicly
Source: Marketwatch
As questions swirl about his credibility, former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone settled a defamation suit seeking $100 million in damages on Monday for publishing false and misleading statements on InfoWars.com, a far-right website known for promoting conspiracy theories.
The agreement requires Stone to run ads in national newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal, apologizing for making defamatory statements about a Chinese businessman who is a vocal critic of Beijing. It also requires Stone to publish a retraction of the false statements on social media. Doing so exempts him from paying any of the damages.
In a text message, Stone described his conduct as irresponsible and added that I am solely responsible for fulfilling the terms of the settlement.

Special counsel Robert Muellers office is investigating Stones role in orchestrating stories about key events being examined in the Russia probe, the Journal has reported.

I know people who are not only stupid enough to fall for the Q-anon bullshit, but to actually repeat that nonsense in public as if it's the least bit credible.
