Alex Jones: I’m Dumping Trump For DeSantis [VIDEO]

The Insider reports:

Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has thrown his backing behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, withdrawing his support for former President Donald Trump. During an Infowars broadcast this week, Jones declared that he would no longer “pigheadedly” support Trump.

Jones said he disagreed with Trump over Operation Warp Speed — the former president’s initiative launched in May 2020 to produce COVID-19 vaccines — but backed him anyway. He added that he believed Trump needed to be kept in power at the time to prevent the “nightmare scenario” of Joe Biden being elected president.

Newsweek reports:



While Trump was interviewed by Jones during his 2016 presidential campaign and enjoyed the support of the Infowars host throughout his presidency, Jones has previously denounced the former president for backing the vaccines. He urged followers to “move on” from Trump and threaten to “dish all the dirt” on him last December.

On Wednesday, Jones said that he was “coming after” Trump for supporting the vaccines and would attempt to block any attempt by the former president to “join the new world order and destroy us.” The Infowars host also played a video clip of DeSantis suggesting that COVID-19 vaccine booster shots put people at higher risk of becoming ill.
