Alex Jones' 'fan' Marjorie Taylor Greene votes to reinstate his X account, but Internet isn't surprised
ROME, GEORGIA: Recently, ousted Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson invited the far-right radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, who currently remains banned from X, formerly known as Twitter. However, things might be changing.
On Saturday, December 9, only a day after Carlson interviewed Jones, the owner of X, Elon Musk, shared a poll that questioned the viewers whether or not Jones should be reinstated on the social media platform.
So far, 70% have voted yes, 30% no and the 70% also consists of Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
However, the internet isn’t very impressed by her vote to reinstate Jones on X.

On X, Elon Musk shared a poll and wrote, “Reinstate Alex Jones on this platform? Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”
Musk has used the old Latin phrase which translates to “The voice of the people is the voice of God.” So far, this poll has 1,737,745 votes, with more than half voting “yes” to reinstate far-right radio host Alex Jones on X.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shared this poll and wrote, “Freedom of speech is one of our most precious rights. The First Amendment must always be defended! I voted YES to reinstate Alex Jones.”

In addition to this, a few days ago, Greene had also reposted Tucker Carlson’s announcement of his interview with Jones who “predicted 9-11, in detail and on camera, months before it happened.”
Greene wrote, “Must watch! I’m a big fan of Alex Jones :)”
Must watch!
