Alex Jones Urges MTG to Run for President: ‘Smarter’ Than Trump and DeSantis
It’s “not something I don’t consider,” MAGA Rep. Greene replied to the idea.
Far-right radio host Alex Jones this week urged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to run for president in 2024, calling her “smarter” than both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, the two most likely GOP candidates. “I think you would poll better and be a better candidate than DeSantis and Trump, so would you take a VP slot with either one of them?” Jones asked Greene on his program Wednesday afternoon. “I’d go ahead and just back you for president.” The conspiracy theorist continued: “I’m serious.
