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.
divide and conquer from the hill
Read the room, Donald.
I agree Trump needs to shut the hell up about these vaccines he helped bring about...He got a resounding booing at his last dog and pony show..Hope it woke him up! Think it shook him up a bit...
I get why Trump brags about the vaccine. But I wince every time he does.
Tim Pool had the best response to this -
The leftists say Trump is leading a cult of blind followers. But cultists don’t boo at their leader when he says things they don’t like.
Unlike the Democrats.
He’s come out against the booster shots.
But yeah, the “vaccine” comments are not helpful I dont think.
so ... the people who believe the science are the dumbasses? sorry Alex jones, you, and all the tin foil (I became magnetic) conspiracy theorists are the true dumbasses!
Now that there are negative effects of the vaccine, Trump should just keep his trap shot on the vaccine. Isn’t it amazing how politicians live in a bubble? No one has mentioned to Trump that there are people dying from COVID vaccines.
He got booed for backing the vaccines.
Shows we are not the personality cult the Ministry of Propaganda portrays us as.
Also DJT: The Snake poem, he recited MANY times at MANY rallies.
Vaccine = Snake. And DJT did take the HCQ “vaccine”.
On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake
“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
”Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman,“ sighed the snake
Agreed he did do that as being a money making venture for Big Pharma..But gosh you would think the man would have learned these people who “Advised” him these vaccines were the right thing to do were the same people brought him down..
He’s falling line to stay afloat.
Personal decision/choice goes both ways, y'know.
I wince every time Alex Jones says something I agree with, and serves as its spokes person of the point.
Maybe thats his objective.
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.
These scientists only say what the ones writing them the checks want them to say..
I know what you mean.
Sam here but it's his baby so he's going to talk it up. Just like he pumps the Trump brand. Personally, I think his buildings are gaudy.
