InfoWars host Alex Jones has publicly announced that he will no longer "pigheadedly" support former President Donald Trump. Instead, he is now throwing his support behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

Jones made the announcement this week during an InfoWars broadcast as he recalled a number of the former president's political initiatives he now claims to have disagreed with.

According to Business Insider, Jones "said he disagreed with Trump over Operation Warp Speed — the former president's initiative launched in May 2020 to produce COVID-19 vaccines — but backed him anyway."

I mean literally he got famous starting a free Podcast on YouTube and now he thinks he has some sort of authority to tell people who they should support.

Can you imagine Lawrence O'Donnell, or Rachel maddow coming out and telling people don't support Joe Biden anymore it's time to support blah blah blah.

Isn't Alex Jones just supposed to be a fake ass reporter?

Why are these nobody's given so much power just because they have a YouTube channel and a microphone?

Essentially, that they are wrong to support trump.

Doesn’t he know, they don’t have to take that from him?
