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.
Unless you know about the infiltration of post modern science into all scientific fields and medicine you would do well to ask a few question rather than act like a cancel warrior.
Relax pal/palette.....we know what you mean and you’re fine.
Yes, and a rather bad politician at that. He turned his victory into defeat. The deep state was weak because it is hated by the people, he was strong and loved by the people. He should have stood his ground from the beginning and just fought from the getgo, starting with firing Sessions and then firing Mueller. He had the strength, he just didn’t have the intestinal fortitude it seems.
Even now, if Mr. Trump made the decision to do so, he could take his rightful presidency back. All he has to do is say the word, and he would have an army (including a lot of the US military) at his back!
Steve Bannon was promoting Reince on his show today.
There is one in particular that accuses anyone who doesn't agree with Trump's statement that he saved 100 million lives of being a Liberal. People have lost their minds.
BTW Trump recovered from the virus so by getting vaccinated does that mean he doesn't believe in natural immunity? Or was his vaccination just a dog and pony show?
I was there...you guys are right. He should have read the crowd a bit better (I saw not one person with a mask except police and Secret Service running the security checkpoint). Even if he had said something to the effect that due to his efforts vaccines are available to those who want them it would have been better received.
It was really a minor mistake in the grand scheme of things. The rest of the speech was very well received.
The Left always loves to project and say that Trump supporters are in a cult.
When in reality they just likes to go where truth leads them. If they think Trump is doing something wrong on an issue, then yes they will say something.
They are not like Leftist cult members that never question anything. They are just useful idiots.
Alex, did say he still supports President Trump and thinks he has done a lot of great things. It is just on the issue of gene therapies being great is where Alex strongly disagrees. Even Trump got booed when he pushed it in Alabama this past weekend.
It’s OK the crowd boo’ed - It shows Trump fans are not mindless drones.
He can take it.
Hè boasts of the vaccine as a political accomplishment, and I wish he wouldn’t. The damn thing is killing people and infecting others.
I wince, too.
Eould I vote for him again? Yes. I don’t hàve to like everything he says in order þo respecþ his efforts tò do good and right.
100%
LOL! Intelligent critical thinking people would never accept a claim/statement on face-value just because it exudes of ‘science’ or appears to have the attributes/characteristics of ‘science.’ No... they are not conspiracy theorists.
Believing in something doesn’t make it true or factual. It just proves you can be easily fooled and submissive.
Science isn’t about empirical observation that would pose a theoretical and conclusive ‘suggestion’ by some clown in a lab coat... it’s about asking questions and finding answers by proof & reason that cannot be critically refuted.
Yes, those who are easily swayed and would believe in statements or choreographed announcements that are packaged and presented as ‘science’... are indeed, dumb-asses. Or in better words... sheep and suckers.
You can include yourself as one of the ‘sheep and suckers.’
LOL- so The Hill is now taking what Alex Jones’ says seriously?
The ironic thing about the vaxxes, had Trump been the President now, the media would be hanging these deaths around his neck and calling it a failure. (Just like Kamala and Biden said they wouldn’t trust a Trump vax before the election!) Now that Biden stole the credit, and effectively became the owner of the vaxxes, the corporate media will continue to promote them as the only solution, even in the face of many deaths that would have normally closed the whole program down!
World is upside down. It also shows the independence of the MAGA world that booed Trump on vaxxes, putting to rest the myth that his followers revere him as some kind of god! They don’t, and let him know it, the very rare time he said something that they don’t really like!
Ah, no.
Who cares?
Trump was right to talk positively about the vaccines. Hope he does it again.
Agree.
You gotta pick your hills. Trump is my ally, not my enemy.
Note also, Trump called out the money making boosters for what they are.
Every scientific body in the entire world has been working on and/or observing the effects of these vaccines. So.. unless this is the biggest “worldwide” conspiracy in the history of mankind, put down the youtube videos and crackpot websites and trust the science.
If you don’t trust the US Department of Health... trust nearly ANY department of health in the ENTIRE WORLD! The best virologists in the entire world have been working on this non-stop since the start!
These are NOT the crackpot global warming “scientists”.
These are REAL scientists, working to save us, trying desperately to save us, to save everyone.
I do NOT support government mandates, but I am against spreading misinformation based on crackpot websites and youtube videos and anecdotal stories that discourages people or scares them into not listening to the real scientists that are trying desperately to save their lives.
