almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

Kennedy doesn’t give one 💩 how bad he fucks up Louisiana or its citizens, as long as the 🎥 stay pointed at his faux hick face. I can’t stand his schtick!
His majority white voters in this state don't care either. And they will continue to vote for him even as he votes to take away any assistance they already receive.
I am quite sure Pudd'n Face is well aware that Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of American deaths and THAT is why he is brazenly lying about it.
Fauci saved hundreds of thousands of lives by managing around trumps incompetence. Please don't give Kennedy a voice. His lies are hurting the issues every time he opens his mouth.
That's funny because...after a few months in, poor Dr. Fauci realized he wasn't in control at all...and a lunatic was.
At no point did the psychopath allow anyone to have control. 😂 #MAGAMorons
What he "thought" was based on nothing but an agenda that does not include public health, science, truth, or the wellbeing of the US population.
He's lying
He's corrupt
Fauci did the right thing when he could have retired and led a more comfortable life
This seems to be a trend that is more and more accepted by the maga cult. They have to know somewhere in their brain that they are being lied to but, it soothes their ego’s and reinforces their narrative. Only Americans can so arrogantly profess they are right about something they are so wrong about
He is up for re-election in 2026. Rumor has it that John Bel Edwards, a former two-term governor, may run against him. Now is the time to start looking at midterm maps. If you’re in a safe blue place, find some races elsewhere to support.
My bad. Louisiana’s other senator (Bill Cassidy) is up for re-election in 2026. John Bel Edwards is a well-known Democrat who’s won statewide races. Hope he runs against him and wins.
This is disgusting! It's just the same old blame game. Let it go! It really doesn't help that "we the people" now have no way of knowing about devastating health issues around the world! Another one for the book of mis/disinformation!
I sincerely hope Dr. Fauci has gotten out of the country for his safety at this point. Proud boys will execute him in the streets and we will be gaslit about how he deserved it.
The mainstream media has let us down with their sanewashing of tfg & tepid reporting. As they're owned by billionaires, it should be no surprise, sadly. But msnbc is still on air, along with PBS Newshour.
FoxNews deserves most of the culpability for this misinformation. They have the same liars on, day after day.
I also wonder why other networks think it is out of bounds to do a story about something like the lies in this clip and how Fox has poisoned the country by being the medium for MAGA lies.
The Courts have deemed them Opinion news. Part of the Dominion settlement. When Rupert passes the kids will take over, and a couple are kind of progressive. We will see what happens.
I truly believe Fox watchers are being brainwashed. @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social is responsible for ending America as we know it, we are the laughing stock of the world.
don’t give fox all the credit as the garbage being spread on FB was equally as bad & now we learn zuck wasn’t happy about being asked to be a responsible social media site owner
He had to become US citizen in 80s to own media. I had a MassComm 101 professor in late 80s who was British and not a fan of Murdoch's business practices.
They don’t know what this man did during the AIDs epidemic. His recommendations were solid is these asshats had to have a scapegoat so it became him instead of true blame that Trump isn’t a leader. They were basically auctioning off ventilators to states that’s criminal shit 🤦🏻♂️
That vampire is old enough to know exactly what Fauci did and how many lives he saved. He's just a monster that needs to be dispatched with a spell or wooden stake or some other ancient magick.
He lacks true empathy I’ve never seen a shred of it from this man. He always takes issue with something or someone. Where’s the military don’t they wear to protect against foreign and domestic threats? Like everything he’s doing his hurting the American people.
I don't know if regular military can take care of this thing. Just look at it! Fucking. Yikes. We need an elite team of Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunters or some shit.. Nosferatu has his hand up that guy's backside making him talk, that's the real reason for the exaggerated suuhthhuhn drawwlluh. 🤫😏
Hey, that’s an insult to Granny Clampett.
He’s more like a rotting old turd on death’s door, except he’s so evil, not Hell has enough room for him and the rest of President Felon’s minions.
Can someone find and publish the dirt Trump/Putin must have on this guy to get him to actively shill their propaganda 24/7 a la Lindsay Graham circa 2017?
Is that the Fox News host opinion after captain cotton mouth is done spewing his own uneducated opinion? Why do people listen to these two? You are listening to opinion hosts and a politician thinking they are legitimate sources of epidemic research.
This is why education and TEACHERS 🧑🏫 👩🏫 are crucial for developing critical thinking skills!! One of the most valuable lessons I learned from a 7th grade teacher was; when a person is giving their opinion on a particular topic, consider the source. Are they the source? Are they knowledgeable of 🧵
🪡the topic on which they are speaking? Does it have a ring of truth to it or does it need more information and context?
Just hearing shit spewing out lies from a shitty ass politician is not smart or wise. Check his stock portfolio then what he’s done for his constituents. That’ll tell you
Senator John Kennedy is a moron, regardless of the issue he is talking about! No worry about him ever being confused with a well known different John Kennedy!
He graduated from Oxford. It's all just a charade. This asshole was originally a Democrat but couldn't get elected, so like tRump he switched parties. And the Republican dumbfucks elected him.
If you decide to make this a letter that anyone who agrees with it and can sign and be sent directly to him please send me the link. I can’t imagine being able to pen anything better.
Perfectly said. I will never understand the inexcusable treatment of Dr Fauci. Anybody that has anything at all to do with 45 needs to take heed. You do not matter.
Yes. But I think some people really don’t wanna sit down and write or type a letter. That’s why there’s always these campaigns where people can just log on and sign their name electronically.
Thank you...exactly what I'd say to him. I don't believe that folksy persona for a minute. He really is an affront to everything a Senator should be. Oh yes, and he's a racist too. Foghorn Leghorn is just about the worst Senator in the place.
The persona is truly BS. He is highly educated, graduating from UVA School of Law and Oxford University.
Like a lot of Republicans, the "aww shucks" country bumpkin nonsense is part of the grift.
Lying politicians should be immediately removed from positions of power and publicly ridiculed for the rest of their lives, which are very short looking by how ancient they all fucking are.
Why are these ppl trying to make us believe their crap? We are here , we can see you!!! We were here when almost 1 million Americans died to COVID due to that administrations lies!!!!
I can’t believe this is our reality; living in liar’s paradise!!! Ugh 😩
This is an elected official with the mental aptitude of a third grader. Granted he does represent LA. It's sad they don't remember their CULT leader telling us to drink bleach or stick flashlights up our asses. But they are on Fox. Fauci should sue him. They seem to have forgot about Dominion.
It's all fake. He has a master's in law from Magdalen College, Oxford. He'd just pretending to be one of the people. If you look at some earlier videos, he sounds a lot less like Foghorn Leghorn than he does now.
He’s really not dumb. He went to elite schools and was a Rhodes Scholar. He was a Democrat for a long time and became a Republican more recently. He’s an opportunist.
He says "I think we're gonna find out..." then he spouts what he thinks and his opinion of the made-up "facts" as if they're true. In the last 5 years he could have investigated and found out the truth if he weren't more interested in damaging Fauci's reputation than in the truth.
They can *try* to rewrite it, but unless the US shuts access to the global internet and becomes a completely closed nation, anyone with a smartphone in their pocket will be able to access that history, because it's been reported on and studied outside the US.
My 17 year-old had a whole module and paper on the Civil Rights movement in the US, including Jim Crow laws, as part of her British GCSE History course, for example...
My father lived under Jim Crow laws. He's still alive today and can tell you all about it. He was so disgusted with the racism in the USA that he moved to Switzerland.

For example, we tend not to take as gospel truth news, history, or media produced by the Nazi state, or by Pinochet in Chile, or by Russia now.
People observing from outside tend to be quite good at discriminating truth from fiction.
The concern is diminishing critical thinking inside the US
I'm not sure there will be so many conflicting reports - there will be those originating within the US (which may or may not have been heavily censored/influenced) and those from independent and less biased journalists and historians outside the US.

Weird…. They themselves were all vaccinated at one time or another. Dr Fauci was their scapegoat. He doesn’t have to justify his record on infectious diseases, he committed his life to combatting them. I mean we were all there.
And want us to believe it. Dr. Fauci has long been internationally lauded as a great medical mind and an excellent leader. Which is why they are angry.
December 19, 2017
Today, the National Institutes of Health announced that it is lifting a funding pause dating back to October 2014 on gain-of-function (GOF) experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS
Exactly, trump pulled funding and removed our embedded Virology expert at Wuhan in June or July before the lab escape. Also trump did not restock respiratory equipment & expiring emergency supplies stockpiled and photographed in December of 2016 by Obama's outgoing team.
Is it remarkable? I feel like the highlighting pens are tired of remarking. It's the same as thoughts and prayers. Lying liars need to be bitch slapped. They can take it. Slap these asses.
Operation Warp Speed didn't help. The single largest investment from Operation Warp Speed went to a pharmaceutical company whose vaccine did not pan out. The single largest order from Operation Warp Speed went to a pharmaceutical company whose vaccine did not pan out.
It's worse than that because it's all a pretense. He graduated from Vanderbilt University and then went on to Oxford. You can bet he wasn't using that phony accent to defend his thesis to Oxford Dons.
My favorite part about MAGA's hatred of Fauci is that Trump is the one who OK'd putting him, if not directly put him, in charge in the first place, and yet nobody on the right acknowledges it.
Oh yes operation “warp speed”the fast super fast fastest as a matter of fact nobody else has a faster made cure for this China virus almost better than all the Sipro I’ve been taking
Yes, "Operation: Warp Speed", which fast-tracked approvals for vaccines so "people can go back to work again", and hardly anybody in his base trusts the vaccines now because "tHeY cAmE oUt ToO fAsT hOw Do We KnOw ThEy'Re SaFe?!" despite Trump himself saying "nah they're fine, I got one, go get one."
You're kidding right? He was funding Gain of Function research, illegally, via NIH grants at a lab in another country with a bad safety record. Fauci was in full cover up mode. Everything Kennedy says here is true. Don't be a simp for Fauci. It's OK to be on the left and still question what he did.
Was talking to one of my MAGA cousins last week. She was parroting these same lies and her anger was palpable. I don’t watch Fox so didn’t have any background. She did agree that the death threats were wrong. That’s something, I guess 😒
I would not want any anti-vaxxer in my command. They don’t follow lawful orders, they don’t care about the safety of their buddies and most of all, they a f-ing stupid.
It shouldn't be allowed. The first amendment shouldn't allow to lies. This isn't free speech. It's propaganda. We can have free speech and fact checking! Fox needs to change its name to Fox entertainment.
What’s really disgusting is knowing he’s a very intelligent, well educated man. It’s all a persona he’s chosen to embrace along with the good ole boy pattern of speech. They are all so fake but he’s the fakest of the fake.
This is way worse than just being fake. We are involved in something that trump and the gop are building. They attack truth, they blame poor economics on immigrants, they are withholding funds from fire ravaged CA & they are ruining fed workers careers because they were doing the job assigned.
Ol’ Foghorn Leghorn and the lobotomized Fox News host re-write history and attack arguably the world’s leading expert immunology and infectious diseases who saved millions of American lives.
The fact that stuff like this is accepted truth by a large swath of the American public is one of the reasons we got DJT. Our information systems have broken down.
"Senator Kennedy, do you realize that you are measurably, and catastrophically less bright than your namesake, who had half-his brains blown out of his head and has been legally dead for 63 years? He can still outwit you. Please choke to death on a cock, and mercifully leave us. We need the room."
And equally impressive is how, after all these years of the GOP fully constructing a self-affirming parallel media universe, the left and Democratic Party still have no answer for it, and their corner of it is almost nonexistent. How? Why? What? Lie back. Tell better ones.
“I never understood why he was put in charge. He studied these viruses and knows more than anyone about them and now he’s calling the shots for all of America”
Who the fuck else should be making decisions? Senators that believe in space lasers and democratic weather control?
Yep. I hate to say it but the dems don’t seem to be doing much of that either. Sure, they oppose all of this insanity but from where I sit, I’m not hearing anything that’ll stick yet. They feel overpowered; time for the nicety to stop. So many groups like George’s will have to do the work for them
Why did he do that? You tool and inbreed idiot…?! To protect the nation and stop the spread of a VIRUS!!! The stupidity continues. That was literally his job!!
Put that Hillbilly heroin down asshole and resign. You are too old man, beyond your usefulness in government. Do you really think anyone is listening to you?
the study that had the gain of function research was at the Wuhan institute of virology (which is far outside the city), the outbreak happened near the Wuhan CDC (which studied viruses from bats but does not do GOF)
this is the study submitted 2017 Nov 30 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5708621/
the study was completed years before the virus outbreak. as to the outbreak, this video was produced before outbreak and has English subtitles. given that the Chinese gov't shut down the markets near those caves around time of outbreak, that is likely origin point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovnUyTRMERI&t=13s
this is speculation on my part but given the large outbreak happened near Wuhan CDC it seems possible a field researcher contracted the virus while collecting samples and brought it home. if you spend days in bat caves with tons of mucus, feces, urine, etc. even if careful it has risks.
A Fox know-nothing moron interviewing a Senator who has no medical background or knowledge hypothesizing about matters of which he has no expertise or first-hand evidence. But why let reason get in the way of a good conspiracy theory?
All these people who know next to nothing about science but don't let that stop them talking nonsense are depending on their audience knowing next to nothing about science either. Unfortunately, that's pretty much where we are.
why does anyone think that anything on fox news is real .. even fox news says they don't expect people to believe the things on their network to be real
Phocks Noooz is propaganda bullsh*t for brain dead and brainwashed magats. Keeping the idijiots stupid is the GQP ticket to fascism. It’s not complicated. And the receiving morons love it.
After listening to Sen John Kennedy of Louisiana, I have to ask this question. Does anyone know if a person's IQ can be expressed as a negative number?
This is what he used to sound like. Had an accent, but didn't lean into it so much. He is highly educated. But doesn't want to scare any constituents away by sounding like he's not a homeboy.
Yes. He went to Oxford in UK as a Rhodes Scholar. He also went to UVA law school. He’s as elite as they come. Just like Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, etc. The whole GOP is just a never-ending con.
Except that's not an excuse. He used to be a Democrat, he used to be sane, and he used to be able to get through an interview without putting a literal target on an innocent man's back. If we don't take our country back, demand age/term limits and independent psych screening, we deserve all of this.
His is on par with a small kitchen appliance, or he would like you to believe. The man is highly educated, and the Foghorn Leghorn, aw shucks ma’am nonsense is all bs. It is his performative persona, and I guess he thinks it makes him seem like a simple, country boy. Far from it. He’s a snake!
Probably not, but there’s nothing wrong about there being some vanishingly small epsilon such that it’s larger than zero but smaller than any real number. Rigorous mathematicians might complain. Infinitesimals have fallen out of favor with them.
I have so many friends in the healthcare industry and we lost our mom to covid. They can say any lies they want about the pandemic. People on the ground know the truth.
The administration allowed its citizens to die by doing nothing and offering horse pills. Over 1,000,000 deaths in this country
These asshats keep painting targets. This re-evaluation was ordered by Biden, however, the "most likely source", doesn't completely rule out the zoonotic origin theory. Not saying they're wrong, but why cast doubts & instead say, full throated, our assessment was wrong &it was absolutely a lab leak?
Kennedy is a complete jackass! Half the time he just rambles and says BS! It is past time for all Boomers to be out of Congress! Don't elect them and the overused ideas they have!

He is such a horrible, nasty man.
Also, be prepared for fake polls from MSM saying how great Trump is doing.
At no point did the psychopath allow anyone to have control. 😂 #MAGAMorons

Who does that remind us of?
This is a cult
Kennedy supposedly graduated from Oxford
The Oxford Shoe Company?
🙄
This isn't republican / conservatism. It's facism from old grumpy racists
Just hearing shit spewing out lies from a shitty ass politician is not smart or wise. Check his stock portfolio then what he’s done for his constituents. That’ll tell you
Ooooh, what an a§§hole.
I threw in a dozen F words to make it more "me"
Like a lot of Republicans, the "aww shucks" country bumpkin nonsense is part of the grift.
I can’t believe this is our reality; living in liar’s paradise!!! Ugh 😩
The rest of the world observes and records what's really happening.
Rewriting history was only really possible before global mass media.
For example, we tend not to take as gospel truth news, history, or media produced by the Nazi state, or by Pinochet in Chile, or by Russia now.

NIH Lifts Funding Pause on Gain-of-Function Research
https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-director/statements/nih-lifts-funding-pause-gain-function-research
Today, the National Institutes of Health announced that it is lifting a funding pause dating back to October 2014 on gain-of-function (GOF) experiments involving influenza, SARS, and MERS
The White House today stepped into an ongoing debate about controversial virus experiments with a startling announcement: It is halting all federal funding for so-called gain-of-function
https://www.science.org/content/article/us-halts-funding-new-risky-virus-studies-calls-voluntary-moratorium
PERIOD
Will have to play the song and listen closely.
2. We have stupid people.
3. Not all of us adhere to #2.

IMO He is a major through back to a Huey Long era.
Who the fuck else should be making decisions? Senators that believe in space lasers and democratic weather control?
He knows he’s lying
And the worst part is they then attack people based on these lies. They're literally slandering and libeling innocent people.
I really believe they’ve been brainwashed.
We need detailed brain autopsies on expired MAGA - something really isn’t right.
this is the study submitted 2017 Nov 30
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5708621/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovnUyTRMERI&t=13s
And the false outrage and blame from the news anchors reinforcing the false narrative.
They are going to get innocent researchers killed.
He’s diabolical.
The stupid ones will stay stupid; it's the smart ones in leadership who want to purposely disinform their dumb voters that are truly evil.
