Prager Cries Unvaccinated Are ‘Most Hated Group Since Slavery’ After Claiming Gay Men Weren’t Treated Like ‘Pariahs’


Far right wing columnist and talk show host Dennis Prager is now flip-flopping on his lie that gay men were not treated like “pariahs” during the height of the AIDS crisis, but now he claims Americans refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are the “most hate group since slavery.”

“There were 4000 “FU Dennis Pragers’ just on one tweet last week because I had the chutzpah to say that the unvaccinated are pariahs, the way that gays were during the AIDS crisis,” Prager said, as the video below shows.

Earlier this month Prager had falsely claimed, “During the AIDS crisis can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users, who were the vast majority of people with AIDS, had they been pariahs the way that the non-vaccinated are? But it would have been inconceivable and should have been inconceivable.”

Prager’s lie earned him a “Pants on Fire” rating from Politifact, which among other examples cites “the near-passage of an AIDS quarantine law in California; calls by prominent commentators for banning HIV-positive people from certain jobs or even tattooing them; jokes made about the disease by White House officials.”
