SEE ALSO:'Pizzagate' — The deranged conspiracy theory that jumped from hashtag to IRL violenceDuring Alex Jones' broadcast Friday on his site, Infowars, he admitted that what became known as Pizzagate was "based upon what we now believe was an incorrect narrative."
Jones made it clear that the falsely implicated Comet Ping Pong restaurant, employees and its owner James Alefantis deserved an apology. "I made comments about Mr. Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him."

"This was an ever-evolving story," he said.
