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.
Or maybe Trump is as smart as he ever was, and the anti-vaccination nut-jobs have gone round the bend...
Folks can poo-poo Alex Jones all they like but he’s been more right than wrong..And in this day and time what was considered conspiracy theory one day is reality the next..
God are you kidding me? Prince Reibus was one of the biggest RINO backstabbing POS and Trump somehow is obsessed with this idiot. Seems every RNC chairman turns out to be a traitor. Prince Reibus, Michael Steele, Ronna McRomneybee. I rest my case.
I’m not with Trump on this but one thing is does suggest. He doesn’t just say what he thinks is popular he says what he believes. He knows this isn’t a winner with his base but he says it anyways. That’s why when he says things indo agree with I know he’ll fight to the end to accomplish them
Ummm Alex ….. Operation Warpspeed? Is he supposed to crap on the vaccine he pushed to manufacture in record time? He recommends it…. He’s not admonishing folks who don’t. Get a grip.
I really fault Trump for this, it was a coordinated attack on the United States, he failed to respond. I really think Trump never really had good control of the Government or Military..Made bad picks in staffing which caused all kinds of issues, got bad advice and think he was more about the show than work.
Exactly. Lefties get so confused when those who normally love Trump ardently and passionately disagree with him. That’s not possible! They all blindly follow their leaders like bleating sheep and assume we on the right do as well! It causes them a massive brain disconnect and malfunction when they ponder this, this does not compute...
We even have some pro vaxxers on FR who use the fact that Trump pushes the “vaccine” to say we should all convert... this proves to me that a few of them are not true conservatives or they wouldn’t even try that. Lefties think that way, and assume everyone else does. Big mister and outing of themselves when they do that. (I support everyone having a choice, just talking about those few who are on every thread supporting the Dr Fraudci jab and saying “Trump support getting jabbed”
It’s what Trump unleashed.
So you want to be facebookesk and stop “ disinformation” stuff you dont agree with. I got ya, ya vax karen.
“A peanut butter and Jelly sandwich is a bigger treat to more people than the covid vaccines. You are literally getting people killed with your hyperbole.”
Yes, people are dying because of the hyperbole news. My sister in-law 13-year-old niece died after getting the vaccine. She was in great health, but her mother was convinced they had to get the vaccine by the hyperbole news.
My 18-year-old niece had heart issues after taking the second dose of the vaccine. Her mother was a full time was also convinced because of the hyperbole news.
You will not hear about them in the hyperbole news.
PS: I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
I care what Alex says why?
Nope don’t care!
President Trump hasnt insisted I have a Vax Passport in order to but and sell in our country...
Phil Valentine’s hyperbole ended up being Russian Roulette and the barrel selected was loaded.
Alex Jones is and always been scum.
There was hope that people would do the right thing. So no mandates. And when the don’t and the mandates begin, they get pissed.
Well said! The conspiracy cult is alive and well here on good old FR.
Vaccine = Snake. And DJT did take the HCQ “vaccine”.
Trump was reciting it as far back as 2016, before he ever became President, so not sure what you're trying to say here.
There are a lot of problems with these shots. On the other hand, the disease itself has a very small fatality. It appears to me that the shot is simply not worth the risk. Why don’t you examine the “science.” instead of mouthing the propaganda?
True but then again he is not President either...
Yeah, between Alex Jones and Trump I know who the dumbass is, and it’s not Trump.
