The surprising warning was noticed by Alex Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist best known for spreading lies about the parents of dead children and hawking overpriced supplementson his platform, Infowars.

Tucker and Alex Jones should be working on a dock for 40k a year maximum, not making millions with their bullshit.
