“Sandy Hook Promise cannot support the decision by Megyn or NBC to give any form of voice or platform to Alex Jones and have asked Megyn Kelly to step down as our Promise Champion Gala host,” said Nicole Hockley, co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise, in a statement on Monday night. “It is our hope that Megyn and NBC reconsider and not broadcast this interview.”The fundraising event, which the group hosts to honor advocates against gun violence, is scheduled for Wednesday night in Washington, D.C.Kelly is getting serious heat for the Jones interview, which is set to air on Sunday. Jones, an outspoken right-wing radio host and blogger, has suggested that the 2012 shooting was a false flag orchestrated by gun control advocates and that the victims’ grieving families are actually actors. Six adults and 20 children, including Hockley’s 6-year-old son Dylan, were killed in the shooting. Nelba Marquez-Greene, who lost her 6-year-old daughter Ana that day, spoke out against Kelly and Jones in a series of tweets.
