Sandy Hook victims sister rejects apology from Scott Baio over false flag Heather Heyer tweet
The sister of a teacher slain in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting has rejected an apology from actor Scott Baio over a Twitter message he posted alleging that the death of anti-racist protester Heather Heyer was a false flag operation carried out to smear the right.
The New York Daily News said Friday that the former Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi actor tweeted a conspiracy theorist meme alleging that Heyers mother and the mother of slain first grade teacher Vicki Soto are the same crisis actor.
Baio tweeted the message to his 218,000 followers to forward the idea that the U.S. government is staging fake incidents as part of a disinformation campaign to smear conservatives and limit gun ownership. The notion of false flag attacks and crisis actors is a bedrock belief of the conspiracy community, promulgated by provocateurs like InfoWars Alex Jones, Pizzagate blogger Mike Cernovich and fanatical Trump booster Jack Posobiec.
Jillian Soto Vicki Sotos sister joined in the furious backlash against Baios tweet. The actor deleted the tweet and apologized, but also blocked Jillian Soto and all of her family members on Twitter.
