(Tamir Kalifa/Austin American-Statesman via AP)Chobani, the maker of Greek yogurt, is suing right-wing provocateur Alex Jones, claiming he published articles and videos that falsely linked the company to child rape and a tuberculosis outbreak near its plant in Twin Falls, Idaho. More than 300 refugees work at the Twin Falls plant and another facility in New York, according to the Idaho Statesman. Infowars, Breitbart News and other outlets sought to connect the incident to the refugees employed at the Chobani plant in town. Authorities in Twin Falls said the girl was sexually assaulted, not raped, and that there was no knife involved in the attack. Jones has now taken aim at Chobani and the Twin Falls community.”Chobani’s lawsuit comes as Jones is fighting a closely-watched custody battle in Texas.
