QAnon movement too much for even Alex Jones? Infowars star blasts conspiracy theory as lies and 'full of s**t'

Jones denounced the QAnon movement in an impassioned rant during his show last week. The video has now been viewed millions of times on Twitter alone and has been shared across several social platforms

Radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has become an unlikely sensation among Trump critics after his rant against QAnon went viral and garnered millions of views online. The Infowars host, who has been banned from all major social media platforms by big tech giants, denounced the QAnon movement in an impassioned rant during his show last week in the wake of the Capitol riots. The video has now been viewed millions of times on Twitter alone and has been shared across several social platforms, Newsweek reported.

Supporters of the loosely-linked underground movement reportedly believe that President Donald Trump is waging a war against an evil ring of Satanic pedophiles. And on Saturday, Jones was lauded by left-wingers after he cut off his Q-affiliated phone-in guest and railed against the conspiracy movement to the point that he broke character and started laughing.

"Q tells this stuff and all of it's lies," Jones is heard shouting in the clip, before telling the guest that he is lying and is "full of s***."

"Because every god damn thing out of you people's mouths doesn't come true," he continues. "And it's always 'oh, there's energy,' 'oh, now we're done with Trump.' You said he was the messiah! You said he was invincible! You said that it was all over. That they were going to Gitmo and now that he's part of a larger thing of Q."

"I will not suffer your Q people after this," Jones says, pointing directly at the camera. "I knew what you were day one, I know what you are now, and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of all these witches and warlocks and pumpkin pop somes."

At one point, Jones breaks character and bursts into laughter before burying his head in his hands. "Bye-bye Q, I can't talk to you anymore. Jesus, lord help me," he says.

That said, Jones lashing out against QAnon comes as a surprise for Trump critics - especially after he faced calls to be arrested in December after saying President-elect Joe Biden had to be removed from office "one way or another" during a rally in Washington.

"We will never back down to the Satanic pedophile, globalist New World Order, and their walking-dead reanimated corpse Joe Biden, and we will never recognize him," Jones told supporters during the pro-Trump demonstration.

Jones faced an early version of the Big Tech blackout Trump experienced this week back in 2018. The popular radio host found himself booted off many social media platforms, payment companies, as well as hosting services. Despite being in exile, Jones momentarily became a mainstream media darling for his QAnon hot-take, prompting a number of liberal journalists and media figures from major news outlets to share the same.

“It’s been a really dark week in many ways, and laughing this hard is good for the soul,” MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes tweeted.

"Didn't expect Alex Jones to denounce QAnon but here you go," Pod Save America Co-host Tommy Vietor added.

Having said that, the clip racked up millions of views and thousands of shares as supporters and critics alike enjoyed Jones' passionate dismissal of QAnon, with some even heralding him as an unlikely "voice of reason."
