Alex Jones, host of the radio show "InfoWars", criticized former President Donald Trump and his upcoming social network platform "TruthSocial" over his recent approval of the vaccine COVID-19.
On Wednesday, Jones told his audience to "move on" from the former president.
We wish Trump would do the right thing. I have the inside information on Trump, he doesn't know what's going on. "I'm not defending Trump, I'm just saying we have to move on," said Jones, a prominent conspiracy theorist on the right-wing fringe.

He said he had access to unnamed sources from inside Trump's camp, and that he would "dish all the dirt" on him.
"It's not to hurt Trump, it's so people can know how pathetic he is when they think he's playing chess and he's not," Jones said.
He said that Trump is not a bad guy, but that the former president is surrounded by bad advisers.
Jones criticized TruthSocial as well. He said that the social media network based on Mastodon was an original program that didn't work.
There are criminal investigations of it by the SEC. It's all falling apart.
During a Dec. 19 appearance with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, Trump revealed that he had gotten a booster shot and told the crowd not to boo. He said the same thing in an interview with Owens.
Jones said after Trump's comments that he believed in him. It's personal because he's done this. It makes it hurt.
"You are either ignorant or one of the most evil men who ever lived," he said during the Christmas broadcast of his show.

Several far-right commentators have criticized the former president.
Wayne Allyn Root, a long time supporter of the president, said on Jones' show that Trump is "horribly wrong" about the vaccines and needs an intervention.
Ali Alexander wrote on his Telegram channel that Trump should stop. Just stop. Allow us to have our position backed by science if you have it. The losing is getting older.
