Conservative talk show host Alex Jones slammed former President Trump after the 45th president encouraged people at an Alabama rally to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
A clip from the Aug. 22 taping of InfoWars appears to show Jones accusing the former president of heralding the vaccine for political gain and bowing to media pressure.
“Shame on you, Trump. Seriously. Hey, if you don’t have the good sense to save yourself and your political career, that’s OK,” the InfoWars host said.
“At least you’re going to get some good Republicans elected, and we like you,” Jones added. “But, my God, maybe you’re not that bright. Maybe Trump’s actually a dumbass.”
Speaking at a rally in Cullman, Ala., Trump said he respected the attendees' freedoms, but he suggested a vaccine could be good for them, saying “I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.”
A smattering of boos rang out from the crowd following Trump’s recommendation. Yet the former president, who has been criticized for not openly touting COVID-19 vaccines, continued, seemingly unfazed.
“Now, that’s OK. That’s all right. You got your freedoms,” Trump said. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. OK? I’ll call up Alabama and say, ‘Hey, you know what?’ But it is working.”
The Alabama Department of Public Health released data on Monday that shows 89.8 percent of COVID-19 cases and 94.1 percent of COVID-19 deaths from April 1 to Aug. 18 occurred among the state’s unvaccinated population.
Currently, just more than half of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, while nearly 61 percent have received at least one vaccine dose, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Leftists will only see what they want to see.
To them, we’re ‘cultists’.
I was more against Trump’s vaccine than Kamel Harris was last year.
A relative called earlier this morning. One of his friend’s son and daughter both vaccinated now have it. The son told his dad he would have been worse off had he not taken the vaccine. I’m hearing that alot lately.
Alex Jones...biggest gas bag blowhard ever. Well, there’s Michael Savage, too. Then there was Glenn Beck. And Mark Levin. At least Mark is a literate, smart and educated constitutional guy.
“He is boxing the Globalists in.”
Interesting take - particularly if things get feisty in Australia when the truckers begin their strike on Sept. 1.
so...you believe science. That's funny.
Wait, you’re upset Jones wasn’t arrested instead of upset Schroyer was?
“Don’t confuse the real scientists” What does that even mean? These same ones were the ones who were claiming Trump was going to kill us all...Fact is in some form or fashion all get Government funding and so like I said whoever writes the checks controls the message..
no, I am against “mandates”, but would like people to stop spreading misinformation that discourages people from getting vaccinated.
I am I all for rescuing the people who have been helping us in Afghanistan from Biden massive failure.
You’re wasting your time. There are still some here who even believe COVID is not real.
I thought the same until I saw the monster last year. Save your breath and let them see the monster for themselves. That is when they will abandon their silly little conspiracies about magnetized what-not from who-knows-where.
As for what President Trump said, good! He is trying to save lives. Also, as someone else said, personal choice works both ways. If people don’t want to be vaccinated, great. But that also means if people want to be vaccinated, also great. People can select the risks they are willing to take.
Remember those silly zombie movies where at the beginning people say ‘it’s nothing’, until the monsters start bursting through their front door? Then suddenly everyone is running to load the 12 gauge?
Something like that will happen. Give it time. Save your breath. Sooner or later they will see the monsters themselves. Phil Valentine’s brother saw the monster, and is now telling people to be careful (Mark Valentine also claims Phil changed his tune before he died and was advocating people protect themselves, but anyone who believes silly hoax videos claiming people are getting ‘magnetized’ will not believe that is not some media trick).
So, let them be. Maybe there’s nothing to worry about. COVID is big real, President Trump is a ‘dumbass’ according to Alex, and the moon is made of cheese.
Or, let them see the monster. For some it’s a cute little kitty cat monster that just gives a bad cold. They are lucky. For others it’s microbiological Gehenna. They are not lucky. Let them see the monster.
I actually know some FReepers who were quite vocal who have become very silent. They saw it. Let others see it too. They too will go silent.
No it will blow back on a 2nd Trump run...He will get the blame not if but when these vaccines go rouge..
Alex Jones for President !!!
(okay, maybe not)
Because the son traveled to the Alternate Universe where he hadn't been vaxxed, and saw the outcome.
That's how he knows.
The Death of Facts and Logic, 2021.
Other than that, much respect.
No “vaccine”, which this isn’t one, has ever gained approval in under a year. I think most take 8 or so.
The Afghanis had 20 years to get their shit together and they failed. Look around FR today. Already 6 “no fly” Afghanis are in the UK. There is zero chance they are all vetted. The idea that 50,000 Afghanis helped us is bullshit.
“Alex Jones is an idiot and has no clue what Game Theory is. How many times is this crap going to get posted? Trump supports the vaccines purely as a strategic objective to stop the far more damaging lockdowns, social distancing, & mask mandates. TRUMP DOES NOT SUPPORT MANDATORY VACCINES. “
Hey, Alex Jones is a gaslighting jackass. That’s on a good day. Even his wife says all his bluster is just noise. It’s a con to make money.
President Trump would never mandate anything against our God-given freedoms.
I liked it better when Alex Jones was verboten on this forum.
Never thought Covid was not real, its a real bio weapon yet even Trump did not retaliate against China...Thinking he’s more bark than bite as the Chinese can hit back compared to some poor sorry soul in the Middle East..
Levin believes that Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids born in Yemen to one citizen parent are natural born citizens eligible to be President.
If Ted Cruz, is, they are.
I’ll look elsewhere for Constitutional guidance.
Alex Jones = controlled opposition
Fully agree that China should be made to pay. Unfortunately President Trump was the last president who could actually do something about it.
