Alex Jones is threatening to "dish all the dirt" on Donald Trump to get back at him over his endorsement of the COVID-19 vaccine.Yeah, we all wish Trump would do the right thing," Jones said on his Wednesday afternoon InfoWars program, before urging his listeners to "move on" from Trump due to his glowing endorsement of the vaccine.
"In fact, maybe—you know what—to get Trump's attention," he continued, "maybe I should just dish all the dirt—you know what, you know what—I am going to dish it all on Trump next hour."
Jones added, "It's not to hurt Trump, it's so people can know how pathetic he is when you think he is playing 4D chess, going to save you and he's not!"
Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has thrown his backing behind Ron DeSantis, withdrawing his support for former 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.
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.
