“Shame on you, Trump,” Jones said.
Far-right 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 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.

No worries, Alex. The faithful aren’t getting the shots anyway.
And actually, Trump’s recommendation once again was lukewarm, maybe tepid. He still said something like “do what you gotta do.” It wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of the vaccines.
