 Hey folks, do you remember when Republicans downplayed COVID-19 back in early 2020 and some of them even Claimed that it was possibly a hoax Created by the Democratic Party in order to give them an electoral advantage and that by the end of November it'd be over Magically, it would just disappear Yeah, remember how none of that ended up happening and COVID-19 actually got worse the following year with the Delta variant That's this year. Well now upon news that there is a new variant that we're learning about Omicron They're saying the same lies again that it's a hoax intended to give Democrats an Electoral advantage sitting member of Congress Ronnie Jackson tweeted out here comes the mev the midterm election variant They need a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots Democrats will do anything to cheat during an election, but we're not going to let them Okay Well, first of all, mail-in ballots are good and they should be universal regardless if we're living through a pandemic or not but for a sitting member of Congress to claim that Democrats have this broad conspiracy where they're going to create new variants Each time there's an election or each time it yields some sort of an electoral payoff this is Incredibly stupid and what's ironic to me is that this is the same kind of thing that Republicans do notice how any time There's an election. They'll fear monger about a new caravan coming to the United States of America And then as soon as the election is over. Well, not a peep from them about that They're the ones who fabricate issues in order to give themselves an electoral advantage and now they're projecting They're claiming that Democrats do it. I'll be it to a much more hyperbolic and nefarious level to where they're making up They're to strip creating variants out of thin air because they want to win and You know if you thought that that tweet from a sitting member of Congress was really stupid wait until you get a load of What Tommy Loren had to say so she tweeted out spoiler alert There will continue to be new COVID variants until we reach the final strain of the virus called communism Wake up sheeple. She Unironically tweeted wake up sheeple in 2021. I'm not surprised. I'm just Exhausted the stupidity that I see from right-wingers after having to constantly talk about it on this show is Rotting my fucking brain. I don't even know how to respond to that So COVID-19 somehow is a plot or Trojan horse if you will To get us to communism how I just I'm trying to put two into together in her little pea brain Maybe she thinks oh well They're using this as a form of control and control is synonymous with communism. Therefore They're trying to lead us to communism and COVID variants equals in force come I honestly it's difficult to even try to follow their logic because there is no it's it's idiotic But thankfully there is a media sphere on the right that is pushing back against these sorts of claims that makes the right look unhinged Oh wait, actually they're spreading this to the most popular News media outlet in all of America not just in the right Fox News is saying the same fucking thing Pete Buttigieg our transportation secretary is Potentially our new president and you know 2024 or so the Democrats want has said we can't fix the supply chain problem Until the pandemic is over until COVID is over and now we see these new variants So that's the answer is more lockdowns more lockdowns more fear And therefore he doesn't have to do his job of fixing the supply chain because we'll just keep this whole thing going It's always a new variance and you can always count on a variant about every October every two years Yep, you know, you're probably right. However, they could speed up at the variance could come more quickly I can't help but laugh. I honestly can't help but laugh. I don't know what to say about this We have right-wingers who are just straight up fucking insane. They are psychotic They're unhinged and that's not to say that I like Democrats, but there's a difference between living in reality and Being, you know, obnoxious and having policies that I disagree with and just being completely unhinged and making things up When it's beneficial for you. I mean, who can watch this and take a news outlet seriously I Mean imagine if for example CNN did this the right would be rightfully Calling them out for the conspiracy for the conspiracy mongering that they're doing But because this is pretty typical for Fox News and right-wingers to just like make things up Well, it's not that surprising and most people are just gonna kind of look at it and think yeah That's that's just what they do. They're right-wingers in America. They're crazy. Yep, but we shouldn't accept this. This is not okay We need to make it socially unacceptable to just lie about things like this to just make up things Especially if you're a political commentator like imagine if I said that fucking I don't know Republicans don't support Medicare for all because they're part of a satanic death cult and all of the lives that are lost Because we have a for-profit health insurance system. It's part of their satanic ritual their sacrifices Like imagine if I just made something up like that I wouldn't be able to get away with that because my viewers actually value facts But other people, you know, they tune in and they think wow this guy is unhinged He's just pulling that out of his ass, but right-wingers do this all the time and it's just it's common It's not like we have an outlier here or there like it was before with conservatives now All of them are like Sarah Palin or Donald Trump, but arguably worse in many ways I mean, I'd say that Marjorie Green and Louie Gohmert. They're worse than Donald Trump I mean even Sarah Palin now looks sane in comparison to the modern-day Republican Party and what's taking place with Regarded discourse on the right so it's gonna keep getting worse And I think that as we get more and more desensitized and we call it out less the lies will continue But this really is unacceptable You can't just say things without evidence if you are making a claim that Democrats are Pretending as if there's new variants because they want an advantage then prove it provide us with evidence or don't say it Clicking the bell no way. It's very sad
