Rep. Matt Gaetz Matthew (Matt) GaetzFlorida attorney general scrutinizing Bloomberg paying fines for felons to vote Lara Trump campaigns with far-right activist candidate Laura Loomer in Florida House to vote on removing cannabis from list of controlled substances MORE (R-Fla.) on Wednesday said he regrets his appearance on a radio show hosted by Infowars founder Alex Jones.

“I would not go back on Alex Jones’s show,” Gaetz told Hill.TV co-hosts Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on “Rising.”

“Upon further reflection, I think the things that Alex Jones has said and done are so hurtful to so many people that a member of Congress should not grace that platform and legitimize it,” Gaetz added.

Jones's Infowars website is known for promoting conspiracy theories, including one that says the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax. That prompted families of Sandy Hook victims to file lawsuits against Jones in April and May.

Gaetz appeared on Jones’s show in January to discuss a then-classified memo by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes Devin Gerald NunesOvernight Defense: Stopgap spending measure awaits Senate vote | Trump nominates former Nunes aide for intelligence community watchdog | Trump extends ban on racial discrimination training to contractors, military Trump nominates former Nunes aide to serve as intel community inspector general Sunday shows preview: Justice Ginsburg dies, sparking partisan battle over vacancy before election MORE (R-Calif.). The controversial memo accused the FBI of improperly using surveillance tools to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016.

Infowars came under renewed scrutiny recently after Facebook faced backlash over conspiracy sites on its social media platform.
