Lara Logan Says 'People' Tell Her That Fauci Is Just Like Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

Fox Nation host Lara Logan Went There during an appearance on Fox News’s Prime Time on Monday night and compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. Or at least, that’s what people are telling her, so she says.

Logan said the coverage of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has been overhyped and claimed that death rates are “comparable” to those of seasonal flu. She then said that “people all across the world” are saying the nation’s leading infectious disease expert is reminiscent of Mengele, who performed horrific and fatal experiments on concentration camp prisoners during the Holocaust.

The Omicron variant has been most abundantly documented in southern Africa. There have been no deaths linked to it so far, but not much is known about the variant and experts have urged caution. That includes Fauci, who suggested it’s possible Omicron may “evade” certain vaccine antibodies.

“What’s your take on where we are and where we’re going?” asked guest host Pete Hegseth.

Dr. Fauci has done everything in his power to save lives.

In my opinion, the Nazi comparison is anti-Semitic and a form of Holocaust denial in that it minimizes and mocks the suffering of Holocaust victims.

from being normal people to radical right wingers over the past few years.

Common thread: Heavy drug and or alcohol use, both currently in a couple of cases, and in the past in all cases.

Whether brought on by substance abuse, low IQ, or just devolving into assholes, the far right is
filled with mentally and morally damaged creeps.

This is the circular game they play that they seem to have learned from Trump. You can say complete bullshit thats demonstrably false and attribute it to what "people are saying". Watched gutter rat Ted Cruz do it on Face the Nation Sunday when he was called to task for his bullshit about election fraud he attributed it to "A lot of people have doubts..." ... so they spew that bullshit and they trigger that disinformation among all those faceless low information "people" then they attribute that same BS to those people and the circle turns and turns...

That liberals shouldn't compare Republicans to Nazis, because something something about some egg head that said it was a weak philosophical argument. Meanwhile, the Republicans flood the zone with all sorts of name calling that generates emotions in people that bypasses their logic.

Lara Logan is an idiot and a racist




Lara Logan, a Fox News personality and host on its streaming service, was condemned by prominent Jewish groups and the Auschwitz Museum after she compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to a Nazi doctor infamous for performing medical experiments at the Auschwitz death camp.

In an appearance on "Fox News Primetime" Monday, Logan said that people have told her that Fauci doesn't represent science, but represents Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who became known as the "Angel of Death" for the atrocities he committed.....

Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement that "there's absolutely no comparison between mask mandates, vaccine requirements, and other COVID-19 mitigation efforts to what happened to Jews during the Holocaust."

"This includes making outlandish and offensive analogies suggesting that somehow Dr. Anthony Fauci is akin to Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele, known for his gruesome medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners," Greenblatt said.
The American Jewish Committee called the comments "utterly shameful" and said "an apology is needed.
"
