For years now, Infowars host Alex Jones has been a reliable ally to Donald Trump. Through thick and thin, the pair of anti-establishment figureheads railed against the status quo and took to demolishing the establishment and draining the swamp.
But now, as Trump’s troubles mount, Jones is looking elsewhere for the 2024 election.
During a recent appearance on his network, Jones threw his weight behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ as-of-yet-unannounced bid for the GOP nomination, and relayed that the Sunshine State lawmaker was “way better” than Trump.
Jones said he “pig-headedly supported [Trump] a few years ago, even though I disagreed with his Warp Speed.” The InfoWars host was referring to Trump’s efforts to develop a Covid-19 vaccine in 2020. Jones is strongly against the vaccine.
For his part, DeSantis appointed a surgeon general named Joseph Ladapo, who has made public statements calling into question the vaccine’s effectiveness.
“I thought that we had to keep him in office because of the nightmare scenario if Hillary or Biden got in,” Jones continued. “With that said, I am supporting DeSantis. DeSantis has just gone from being awesome to being unbelievably good. And I don’t just watch a man’s actions, as Christ said. Judge a tree by its fruits. I can also look in his eyes on HD video and I see the real sincerity.”
And then…
Jones also stated, “This is what Trump should be like. And I’ve been hammering this point, and he’s doing it now. And we have someone that is better than Trump. Way better than Trump.”
DeSantis has not yet officially announced any plans to run for the White House, but his recent actions behind the scenes denote a great likelihood that he’ll be in the mix come 2024.
