The right-wing broadcaster compared Trump’s plea to lighting a cigarette while „filling up your tractor with gasoline.“
Right-wing broadcaster Alex Jones broke from former President Donald Trump over his call for supporters to protest if he gets indicted in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation of a hush money payment made during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump over the weekend took to his social media platform Truth Social to write that he believed he would be arrested on Tuesday. The District Attorney’s Office is probing whether Trump violated campaign finance law in the $130,000 payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen, Trump’s former longtime attorney, in 2018 pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in the probe.
The former president urged his supporters to „PROTEST“ and „TAKE OUR NATION BACK“ in the Truth Social post. He has denied any wrongdoing and has accused prosecutors of engaging in a politically motivated witch hunt.
Jones‘ criticism came during a discussion about the potential indictment with conservative influencer Steven Crowder on Tuesday.
