The New York Attorney General Leticia James on Thursday ordered Alex Jones to cease and desist selling and marketing products as treatments for the coronavirus.
I wonder if Jones and Bakker can be prosecuted for practicing medicine w/o a license.
The Dems don’t want the common man to have the freedom to make his living without f***ing interference and regulation from the gubbmin. Rise Up, crazy White Trump-lovin’ People!
Alex Jones likes to test the limits of free speech. But if he actually sold this stuff that would be fraud.
This tweet array from Krugman bears reposting.
There is a consistent pattern. Is scamming viewers/readers/Trump voters with weird nutritional supplements get rich quick or gold schemes all that different from scamming them with batshit conspiracy theories, bad policy and grievance mongering?
Jones and Bakker, both grifters, take their cues from the Grifter-in-Chief, Donald J. Trump, and are enabled by his behavior and petulance.
It’s so inspiring Alex Jones was finding time to practice entrepreneurship even though he’s been so busy driving dangerously and engaging in domestic violence.
“Mr. Jones’ public platform has not only given him a microphone to shout inflammatory rhetoric, but his latest mistruths are incredibly dangerous and pose a serious threat to the public health of New Yorkers and individuals across the nation.”
Anyone who would flock to Alex Jones for a treatment for coronavirus should be treated for something more fundamental. And they should not be voting.
Worthless excuse for a man.
Has he been prosecuted?
I understand the need for a letter (it is probably required by the consumer fraud act) but can’t they just arrest him? Send an arrest warrant to Texas. Statutory fraud, book him, then deny him bail. Send him to riker’s island.
Yuge shipments have been sighted at the White House and Senate Majority Leaders office.
Best post on that thread (and I do not do tweeters)…
Republicans made a bet that they could stick a moronic incompetent in the Oval Office and get their preferred policy outcomes without cost. They lost, and now the bill is coming due.
I don’t want to be unkind…but I guess I’m going to be.
Any lug who buys a coronavirus treatment from Alex Jones, kinda’ deserves what they get.
Jim Bakker (yes, the born again one) was sued (ordered?) today by the state of Missouri to stop selling his silver colloidal snake oil to prevent coronavirus.
How do these monsters expect Alex Jones to post bail?! Oh, the (lack of) humanity…
Good lord. All of the hucksters are out huckstering their snake oil to the rubes (Faux viewers and conspiracy believers).
Start with a holding cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Functioning video surveillance strictly optional.
Neither do I, but I went there to give him a like.
He does.
It is.
No need for moodiness is indicated.
Doubtful. The law has a giant “dietary supplement” loophole that 99% of these “remedies” can drive right through.
