Alex Jones Is Funded By Billionaires In The 'Wealthy Class,' Activist Says A Saturday report from The Wall Street Journal claimed that the Stop the Steal rally that preceded the storming of the U.S. Capitol was arranged and funded by a group of people that included Publix Super Markets heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli and radio host Alex Jones. According to activist and podcaster Rick Smith, who hosts his own eponymous show, Jones is funded by billionaires. Smith also claimed that right-wing talk radio, in general, is "funded by the wealthy class" that has grown its fortune through years of slashing taxes.
