James Woods slammed Alex Jones for misconstruing his sentiments about Nick Fuentes.
The MAGA actor took to X to react to a video shared by the conspiracy theorist, in which he claimed that the former was aligning with Fuentes, a notorious far-right figure, on Republican Party issues.
Jones alleged that Woods “agrees with Nick Fuentes that it is time to leave the GOP Party” after Senator Thune’s failure to pass the SAVE Act, as well as House Republicans’ alleged efforts to cover up details surrounding an $18 million taxpayer fund that was allegedly spent on hiding claims of sexual abuse.
Woods refuted these claims, calling Jones’ statements “misleading.”
“I don’t ‘agree’ with Nick Fuentes about anything,” Woods stated. “I’ve never talked with Nick Fuentes, nor did I know who he was until you stated that I ‘agree’ with him.” He added, “Now that I know who he is, nothing could be further from the truth.” He also requested that Jones rectify his wrong: “Please take the time to clarify this at your convenience.”
James Woods quits the Republican Party
The actor and outspoken supporter of Donald Trump took to X this week to declare that he would be registering as an independent as he accused a few Republican lawmakers of failing to hold Democrats accountable amid stalled efforts to investigate Ilhan Omar.
Days after he lauded Trump as the “greatest president of my lifetime,” the “Ghosts of Mississippi” star, 78, claimed on X that a few party members were “uniparty traitors” for failing to hold the opposition accountable.
“I am done with the Republican Party,” Woods wrote on X. “Between this and Thune’s refusal to pass the SAVE Act, I’m done with these uniparty traitors.” He continued, “I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent. No wonder President Trump is fighting an uphill battle every day.”
He also attached a clip of South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who similarly slammed her colleagues for not expediting a motion seeking to unearth records related to Omar.
Woods has long made headlines for his outspoken criticism of prominent Democrats, including Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Just last week, he shared a photo of Trump with his cabinet, referring to them as the “greatest President and greatest Cabinet, certainly in my lifetime.”
He also previously alleged that his political views have left him “blacklisted” in Hollywood, including fewer work opportunities and his agent dropping him as a client.
