Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones made a call to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from power over threats he made to Iran if the nation doesn’t capitulate to his demands.
“The Democrats and them in the midterms. That’s a side issue now, compared to existential threat. How do we 25th Amendment his ass?” Jones asked his guest Robert Barnes on “The Alex Jones Show” Monday.
A growing number of Democrats suggested invoking the law, which allows for the removal of a sitting president who is unable to discharge the duties of his office and transfers power to the vice president, after Trump threatened to attack Iran if the nation did not open the Strait of Hormuz.
The president’s threats intensified, claiming that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not meet his deadline to make a deal at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday.
Jones, who has been loyal to the president over the years, broke from Trump over his war in Iran and warned of potential war crimes if Trump carries out his threats.
