Not to mention Alex Jones is still up and running elsewhere spreading his nonsense and hawking his merch. So it's a cute gag, I guess, and gets the Sandy Hook families some money, but doesn't really change the status quo.

I wonder how long it will take Republicans to pull this on Democrats, which means this tit-for-tat back and forth will never end.
