Dr. Fauci Says Fox News' Jesse Watters Should Be Fired Over 'Kill Shot' Remark

In a speech at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest on Monday in Phoenix, Watters suggested that attendees should film themselves confronting Fauci in public with questions about the root of the pandemic, citing conspiracy theories about how the virus originated.

“Now you go in for the kill shot, the kill shot with an ambush, deadly, because he doesn’t see it coming,” Watters said.

“This is when you say, ‘Dr. Fauci, you funded risky research at a sloppy Chinese lab. The same lab that sprung this pandemic on the world. You know why people don’t trust you, don’t you?’ Boom, he is dead! He is dead! He’s done!”

inflammatory rhetoric that led to the murder of Dr. Tiller. Hatred begets hatred. Pox News should be shuttered and the leadership taken into custody.

This is beyond disgusting, and in a different world this guy would be prosecuted for hate speech, and intent to cause bodily harm. These people deserve their own Killshot, and someday it’s going to happen. One day one of these guys is going to get taken out himself and you’ll hear the hue and cry from the right wing about the militant left. And the main stream media will go along and say “Now things have gone too far” because it will be one of their own. It is unbelievable that Scarborough could sit there and say that better language could be used, instead of outright condemning this type of rhetoric which is reminiscent of all the fascist regimes in history. I am revolted by the entire matter. How fucking dare this Fox asshole threaten the life of a Federal official who’s doing his job? There needs to be real blowback for this stuff including , but not limited to, spitting on those Motherfuckers who gave Kyle Rittenhouse a standing ovation.
