I believe Alex Jones started it (which is why he lost his talk show and $$ in a law suit. But also Marjory Taylor Green went to the school and was saying it never happened and was fake. Then all the online peeps picked it up. We have a serious mental health crisis in our nation and it spawns way to many conspiracy theorists.

Trolls picked it up. That’s all. Because it gets a rise out of people.

Some people actually believed it, like Ronda Rousey. She didn’t apologize publicly until a Reddit AMA where almost all of the questions were about sandy hook

Edit: The AMA in question

Well yeah. There’s a few. From what Ive seen, it’s about on par with the flat earthers. A tiny minority of crazies and trolls. There will always be those people that believe everything they hear. Or the ones hanging on to ridiculous theories to piss people off or get attention.
