In a shocking twist that has sent ripples through the MAGA movement, Alex Jones, the notorious founder of Infowars, has ousted his once-loyal sidekick Owen Shroyer, branding him “too anti-Trump.” This dramatic fallout comes as Shroyer, who was previously convicted for his role in the January 6th insurrection, has become increasingly critical of the former president. The split, announced during a live stream, reveals deep fractures within the MAGA base, as even those who once stood by Trump are now questioning his leadership.
Shroyer disclosed that after a series of clashes with Jones, the Infowars founder told him, “Okay, we don’t need you. Good luck,” effectively cutting ties with the man who once defended Trump to the hilt. The irony is palpable: a January 6th insurrectionist deemed “disloyal” for demanding accountability from Trump. Shroyer expressed disillusionment, lamenting that Trump has abandoned those who fought for him, stating, “Now we’re his past supporters. We’re hoaxers. We’re bad people.”
The fallout underscores a troubling reality for Trump and his followers. Shroyer’s criticisms extend to Trump’s health, with the former Infowars host suggesting that the ex-president’s declining condition is becoming a significant concern. “He’s wearing more makeup than he normally does,” Shroyer noted, hinting at a deeper unease among Trump loyalists.
This rift is not merely personal; it reflects a broader discontent within the MAGA ranks, revealing how loyalty to Trump is increasingly one-sided. As Jones himself has begun to voice criticisms of Trump, the unraveling of this once-unified front raises urgent questions about the future of the MAGA movement. With infighting and discontent brewing, the implications for Trump’s political future could be profound. The MAGA cult is fracturing, and the fallout is just beginning.
