Talk show host and former Donald Trump ally Alex Jones blasted the ex-president on his show after he told his supporters to get vaccinated at the Alabama rally.

It obviously got Jones riled up as the conspiracy theorist loudly expressed his disappointment on his 'Infowars' talk show on Sunday, August 22, 2021. Jones did not even try mincing his words as he called out Trump for being a media's puppet and a "dumbass". "Shame on you, Trump. Seriously. Hey, if you don't have the good sense to save yourself and your political career, that's OK," Jones said on the show. "At least you're going to get some good Republicans elected, and we like you. But, my God, maybe you're not that bright. Maybe Trump's actually a dumbass."

On the show, he also said Trump was following the command of people in the media when he recommended the vaccines. "CNN snaps their fingers, Jeff Zucker snaps his fingers, and Trump clicks his heels, and hops up there at attention and says, 'how high do you want me to jump, boss?'" Jones angrily continued.

At the rally, Trump's suggestion was booed by the audience. "You know what, I believe totally in your freedoms, you gotta do what you have to do, but I recommend, take the vaccines! I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines," the former president had said. "Now, that's OK. That's all right. You got your freedoms," Trump replied after the crowd had started booing. "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."

Once upon a time, Jones was a friend and supporter of Trump since before he became president. Time and again, throughout his term, Jones has defended the former president's policies. The conspiracy theorist also riled up protesters at January 6, 2021, demonstration which led to the rioting at the US Capitol. Jones was caught deriding Trump in a video from a documentary leaked in March where he said that he wished he had never met Trump and that he was sick of the former president.

On Twitter, Jones has got many people talking about his latest statements. Mainly, people are just calling him out for making such blanket statements without any kind of expertise. "Remind us again how much experience/knowledge Jones has about medicine or epidemiology? Oh right: zero. None," one user wrote. Another user wrote, "Why's it so difficult for people to grasp the fact viruses mutate if left to do so. The vaccine significantly decreases that chance of mutation happening but the door is still left open to that becuz so many listen to sick grifters like alex jones and refuse the vaccine. Smh"



 



 

Some people are there for just the drama. Like this user who said, "Whenever I see or hear Alex Jones speak, I'm always amazed his heart hasn't exploded out of his chest from so much cholesterol, or that Mother Nature or the universal law of Karma hasn't yet swept him up & away in the winds of a tornado. Nonetheless, excuse me while I go get."



 

And some others think that Jones should rather just focus on himself before doling out unsolicited advice. "The size of this dudes neck and the way he's sweating tells me he doesn't need to worry about a vaccine or a virus, he needs to worry about HEART DISEASE!" one user wrote.
