'Dumb Fux & Friends' Host Angrily Overrules Dr. Fauci: You Can See Your Grandkids!

During a long, angry rant Tuesday morning, Brian Kilmeade not only criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci’s messaging on COVID-19 but also decided to take it upon himself to give some unsolicited medical advice to the thousands of elderly Fox & Friends viewers out there.

“Unbelievable what is happening,” Kilmeade said after his co-host Steve Doocy shared his own frustrations that so much about the virus is still unknown one year into the pandemic. “My parents are 80 years old, they got vaccinated. Can they go see their grandkids? You know what the answer is? Yes”

Doing his own math for viewers, Kilmeade explained that because the vaccine is 94 percent effective and “the chances of a kid getting it and falling ill are infinitesimal” then there is virtually nothing to worry about. “You go over there and do it,” he said, accusing Fauci of discounting “the psychological damage done by not going to school, by not seeing your grandkids, by not playing sports, by not going to work, by losing your job,” adding, “All he sees is a bunch of graphs.”

From there, Kilmeade proceeded to go off on Fauci for going on The Rachel Maddow Show, calling him a “political person” whose “better days are clearly in the rearview mirror.” Growing more agitated, he shouted, “Why people give him a pass when he’s been so wrong so often on things that matter so much is one of the great mysteries of this last year!”

achieve by insulting Dr. Fauci. The other day it was that ludicrous spiel by Ms. McCain and now this word salad from this jackass.

They see that not only does everyone hold Trump at fault but now Biden is getting credit for a lot of things. Deservedly so in regards to just being able to be a human being.

You can hear, almost word for word, this same rant on any number of the dozens of Hate Radio talk shows. I'm sure Newsmax and OAN are running the same thing, and I bet we hear this again and again at CPAC this week.

This is one reason their propaganda is so effective. The lies are repeated over and over again everywhere they are likely to hear news.
