'Trash' Infowars reboot sends MAGA into a tailspin: 'Embarrassing himself'

The far-right can't hide its disdain for a parody of one of their own, while plenty of others had no problem enjoying the jokes.

The Onion released its first clip of the new and, for many, improved Infowars since taking it over. The parody news site released a skit on Saturday by Comedian Tim Heidecker where he imitates conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his too-loud, raspy voice, and pretends to sip human blood to mock Jones' frequent hawking of questionable health supplements.

While right-wingers like podcast host Matt Forney called it "trash" in a post on X, journalist Dean Blundell described Heidecker's performance as "perfection."

"Tim Heidecker is a genius," educator Jen Shultz praised. Political analyst Rachel Bitecofer celebrated that "they found an impresionist to troll Alex Jones."

"I am enjoying the new Infowars," podcast host Brian Shapiro wrote. "I have a feeling Alex Jones won't like it," Brian Krassenstein quipped. "Tim Heidecker has perfected his Alex Jones," writer Corey Atad posted.

Conservative blogger Sara Radovanovitch said Heidecker was "embarrassing himself." MAGA podcast host Kyle Seraphin called Heidecker a "cringe comic."

Former Proud Boys member Mike Lasater commented that "you can tell Tim doesn't understand Alex at all," and "his comedic talents are being sidelined."


'That is a big fissure': MAGA infighting explodes as Trump launches intense tirade

Reactions were mounting Thursday after President Donald Trump dropped a lengthy, angry post calling out his former allies, whom he referred to as "losers."

Trump took to his Truth Social platform to rage at multiple MAGA voices: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones. The president's move revealed even more ideological fractures amid the already divided MAGA coalition.

"I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon — Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs," Trump wrote. "They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!"

The internet was stunned by the president's comments, including conservative followers. Some sided with Trump and continued to support him, while others noted just how much the conservative party had ruptured.

"All of the lying must be exposed. Call them all out! Go Go Go!! God bless President and Mrs. Trump. We, the People, love you both so much! Amen," Tiffany Virili, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. admin and MAGA supporter, wrote on Truth Social.

"They are SCUM! Grifters! Traitors! WE STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!!" Eric Reimer, an attorney, veteran and MAGA follower, wrote on Truth Social.

"That is a big fissure in the trump camp," tennis champion Martina Navratilova wrote on X.

"Absolutely insane. When will the Republican Doormat Congress find their courage?" Democratic congressional candidate and Army veteran Fred Wellman wrote on X.

"'I don't have any friends left!!!!'" Canadian radio personality and political commentator Dean Blundell wrote on X.

GOP congressman pounces after Alex Jones accuses him of Epstein cover-up

MAGA podcaster Alex Jones accused a Republican congressman of a Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and the lawmaker hit back on Sunday.

Jones, known for spreading right-wing conspiracies online, lashed out at Thomas Massie, who has been at the forefront of the Republican effort to expose files related to the deceased convicted child sex abuser. Specifically, Jones asked Massie to release unredacted Epstein file names he's privy to as an active congressman.

"I want the f------ names," Jones said, specifically calling out Massie. "Massie, you've been in there three weeks, where are the f------- names? Is Massie covering up the names?"

Massie issued an extensive takedown, starting with, "Every member of Congress has the same access to the same files as me. I haven’t watched your video here, but have you addressed the cowards who wouldn’t sign the discharge petition and still won’t go look at the files?"

He went on to say, "I forced the release of every man’s name that I could find in the redactions so far. This includes the Sultan (now resigned) who discussed the torture video with Epstein. I was the one who got that out there. I forced the release of Leslie Wexner’s name in the FBI document that lists him as a coconspirator in a child sex trafficking case."

Going even further, Massie called out AG Pam Bondi.

"I’ve done several interviews and even told Bondi in the hearing that the problems now are (a) the DOJ has files they can’t/won’t unredact for us (they claim they received the documents already redacted), (b) the DOJ made available, but then removed critical files from the database before we could view them… we want to view unredacted because it appears these could have coconspirators' names in them," he wrote, adding, "DOJ hasn’t released every document yet including FD-302s and internal communications about decisions not to investigate."

Offering an explanation, Massie noted, "In some of the emails I tried to view, the sender was a female and possibly a victim, so that could be why myself and other members of Congress haven’t disclosed them... You (or your staff) can post the EFTA# for documents that you believe contain men’s names redacted, and I’ll go look at those documents at DOJ to see if those documents contain men’s names. If the redacted identifier is an email address not associated with a name, I can put the email address back into the DOJ computer as a search term to see if it is associated with a man’s name elsewhere in the documents. This is how I discovered it was the Sultan who Epstein was discussing a torture video with."

Adding an apparent insult, Massie wrote on X, "Try not to be a nenard about this."

'Official plan': Alex Jones floats new theory on 'military staging a coup against Trump'

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones predicted that Democrats were plotting a military coup by expressing concern about strikes President Donald Trump has ordered against alleged drug boats near Venezuela.

During a Thursday broadcast, Jones insisted that the killings were "very moral" despite a history of opposing U.S. military actions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "didn't say kill them all," Jones said of the boat survivors.

"Hegseth is loyal, he's smart, he's doing a great job," he explained. "And that's why they're after him. And they need the military to stage their coup against America. It's their official plan."

"It's about preparing some big event, some false flag, to be blamed on Trump and the National Guard and the Border Patrol and all the rest of it," he continued. "And it is about when this big event comes, trying to sell the public and the blue states and everybody on turning against America, and of course the blue states will do it because they're globalist, and then using that illusion, and using that supposed gravitas or strength of, oh, look, see all these blue states seceded because Trump's a dictator, believing that that will somehow put enough pressure on the body politic of the military to stage a coup against Trump."

MAGA turns on Alex Jones over report on trusted Trump lawyer: 'Doesn't know how DOJ works'

Allies to President Donald Trump are pushing back against a new report from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that alleges Todd Blanche, Trump’s former attorney and current deputy attorney general, is “sabotaging Trump’s war against the deep state.”

“Todd Blanche is failing on all measures,” said Peter Ticktin, an attorney who appeared on Alex Jones’ show Infowars to speak to the allegations against Blanche. “Because of him, we haven’t had a pardon granted since May. Because of him, he wants the J6ers to not be compensated for all that we put them through.”

The report wasn’t taken kindly, however, from many of Trump’s close allies, including Matt Gaetz, former congressman and pick for attorney general before he withdrew himself from consideration amid scandal.

“This is absolutely false. Todd Blanche is a patriot and has been standing with President Trump for years now – in the courtroom and now at the DOJ,” Gaetz wrote on in a social media post on X Thursday night.

“I’m in contact with folks at the Justice Department and Todd is the reason so many great things like the Antifa terror designation have happened. By the way: he hired a J6er! He’s no squish.”

A former registered Democrat, Blanche represented Trump in court when he was facing felony charges of falsifying business records in relation to a series of hush-money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, charges Trump was ultimately convicted of.

Others in Trump’s orbit came to Blanche’s defense, including DOJ chief of staff Chad Mizelle, who on X accused Alex Jones of not knowing “how [the] DOJ works.”

“Four years ago, Todd Blanche put his career on the line when he quit his big law job to represent President Trump. Every day since then, he’s been fighting against the DOJ deep state – first as the President’s personal lawyer and now as his Deputy AG,” Mizelle wrote on X Friday.

“Many of our public successes would not be possible without Todd. But even more impressive are the countless investigations, grand juries, and prosecutions that are not yet public. Todd Blanche is crushing the deep state. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know Todd, doesn’t know how [the] DOJ works, doesn’t know law, or, most likely, all three.”

'That was a professional': Alex Jones convinced Charlie Kirk's killing was a cover-up

Alex Jones says he is convinced Charlie Kirk's killing was a cover-up, claiming the U.S. government is hiding something in the wake of the MAGA influencer's death.

In an interview posted Wednesday, Jones claims "it's the government... putting out a bunch of stuff that clearly looks planted and staged or not true from minute one, so then you gotta bring the motive within the deep state within the U.S. government."

"That was a professional killing," Jones said.

Several far-right conspiracies have circulated following the 31-year-old's death at a Utah college.

Alex Jones mocks Charlie Kirk 'Superman' bullet claim: 'Easter Bunny has more credibility'

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA declared that there was a "miracle" involved in the late commentator's killing, but noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones isn't buying his MAGA allies' explanation.

Raw Story reported on Sunday that a TPUSA spokesman had said that, despite Kirk being shot to death, he was so healthy that the bullet couldn't make it all the way through to the other side to create an exit wound.

That didn't sit well with Jones, who melted down in a video.

"TPUSA is now reporting that Charlie Kirk was shot by a magic bullet: TPUSA Spokesman Andrew Kolvet is now officially claiming that a high caliber rifle designed for moose hunting did not shoot all the way through Charlie Kirk’s neck," Jones wrote. "Then it only gets worse."

He continued:

"He then goes on to claim that no bullet was found inside Charlie’s neck. TPUSA in the statement below goes on to say that Charlie was Superman and that’s why the bullet didn’t go through his neck and disappeared. Claiming the Easter bunny is real, has more credibility.. God help us!"

Watch: Alex Jones melts down over Minnesota shooter being 'huge Trump supporter'

Noted right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Sunday called the recent shootings of multiple Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota "false flags."

At one point claiming he's "not the conspiracy theory guy," Jones says, "He’s wearing a plastic mask. If you can believe it’s him. This thing smells of some type of sophisticated operation.”

He then said, "I said, let me see who these two Democrat lawmakers are that got shot... And what did they know? What were they about to release on Tim Walz? How do we know that wasn’t a CCP operative with a rubber mask on, which they did.”

Jones went on to ask, “What did I tell you in the last six months?"

"False flag shootings on lawmakers, on homes, on illegal alien demonstrations, on black churches... And then I said they find a dead body of a MAGA supporter so that they can’t defend themselves. And here we are. He’s a huge Trump supporter," he added.

'Spectacular': Alex Jones makes a 'dead serious' prediction about Kamala Harris at debate

Vice President Kamala Harris is "going to fall flat on her face" at the presidential debate against Donald Trump, and she will also be on drugs, according to right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Jones, a Trump ally who in August claimed that there are Democrats plotting to put conservatives "in camps," predicted that Harris will be taking ecstasy due to her "performance anxiety."

"It's going to be spectacular in that she's going to fall flat on her face without a teleprompter," Jones said. "It's because she has serious performance anxiety."

Jones said, "She's going to be on drugs. She's going to be bombed out of her gourd."

Jones went on to insist Harris would be taking ecstasy.

"She looked like that at the DNC. Big pupils, feeling good. Yeah, they're going to give her a molly," Jones said on his show. "I'm dead serious."

He further claimed Harris was "drunk and on Xanax" at her CNN interview.

"I'm getting chills right now," Jones said. "Ladies and gentlemen, there are Democrats all over the place saying they're going to put us in camps - they built COVID camps just to cover."

He then shouted, "Do you understand they are planning this?!"

"They're going to do a big a-- cyber attack and take us all off the air," he added, appearing to fight back tears. "We got 78 days left of the election."
