Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is threatening to âdish dirtâ on former President Donald Trump over his support of the COVID-19 vaccines.
On Wednesday, Jones said, âYa, we all wish Trump would do the right thing. But listen, I got the inside baseball on Trump. He doesnât know whatâs going on. And Iâm not even defending Trump, Iâm just saying we need to move on.â
âMaybe, you know what, to get Trumpâs attentionâŚMaybe I should just dish all the dirt. You know what, you know what, Iâm going to dish it all on Trump next hour. And itâs not to hurt Trump, itâs so people can know how pathetic he is when you think he is playing 4D chess, going to save you, and heâs not!â he continued.
Finally, Jones said, âHeâs not a bad guy. But he doesnât know what heâs doing. Heâs surrounded by bad advisers.â
Jonesâ comments come after Trump voiced support for the coronavirus vaccines.
During an event with former Fox News host Bill OâReilly earlier this month, Trump said, âTake credit for it. Itâs great, what weâve done is historic. Donât let them take it awayâŚyouâre playing right into their hands when youâre sort of like, âoh, the vaccine.â If you donât want to take it, you shouldnât be forced to take â no mandates. But take credit because we saved tens of millions of lives. Take credit. Donât let them take that away from you.â
And during an interview with The Daily Wireâs Candace Owens, he pushed back when she raised concerns about the effectiveness of the vaccines.
âWell, no, the vaccines work, but people arenât taking it. The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who donât take the vaccine. But itâs still their choice, and if you take the vaccine, youâre protected,â he said, adding, âThe results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, itâs a very minor form. People arenât dying when they take the vaccine.â
Owens later appeared to attribute Trumpâs support of the vaccines to his age as she said, âPeople oftentimes forget, like, how old Trump is.â
âEverything that read in a newspaper, that was pitched to them, that they believed that that was a reality,â she continued. âAnd one of those things was, you know, this push for vaccines and believing that people were going to die without vaccines. And so, I believe that his support of the vaccine is genuine, and itâs not based on any corruption at all.â
Finally, she added, âBelieve it or not, I do not believe that Trump reads or partakes in any other news sources. I donât believe that Trump is on the internet or that he necessarily uses the web to try to find obscure websites. I think that he just relies on typical mainstream sources. So, I donât think that thereâs anything evil going on there.â
