MSNBC's Joy Reid says that the "faction of the right" defying COVID-19 measures are part of a "death cult."
"The Reidout" host said that Fox Nation host Lara Logan — who recently compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to Nazi doctor Josef Mengele — might very well be one of those people in a death cult leading some of the right down a path of destruction.
What's a brief history here?
Logan said Monday that the concern over the COVID-19 Omicron variant is over the top.
"What is happening over time is that the entire response to COVID and everything that we were told about it from the beginning is being exposed. And it’s falling apart,” Logan insisted. “The lies are coming apart. Really now, there is no justification for putting people out of their jobs or forcing vaccine mandates for a disease that ultimately is very treatable.”
She continued, "What you see on Dr. Fauci, this is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Josef Mengele. Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.”
Logan then added that "people all across the world are saying this" over his response to COVID-19 and “what it has done to civil liberties, the suicide rates, [and] poverty.”
What are the details?
Reid, referring to Logan — who she said is a "right-wing troll" — began her show, "We begin 'The Reidout' with a deplorable form of Republican gaslighting, comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust. Again, last night, it reached a new low when former respectable journalist and current right-wing troll Lara Logan went on ... Trump TV to say this about Dr. Anthony Fauci."
She then played the clip of Logan's remarks and immediately condemned her for the comparison.
"Now, to show you how ludicrous but also how offensive that comparison is, let me talk a bit about who Josef Mengele actually was," she began. "Known as the 'Angel of Death,' he presided over deadly and inhumane medical experiments on Jewish prisoners while serving as a physician at the Auschwitz concentration camp. He is described as the embodiment of absolute evil, a doctor assigned to select who would die or who would live, only to be subject to the ghoulish human experiments that he over saw."
Reid added, "So, no.Dr. Fauci, a public servant who has seen this nation through AIDS, bioterrorism, Ebola, swine flu, and now COVID, is nothing like Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele, nor is Fauci anything like the creator of fascism, Benito Mussolini, of them being Italian. Is that what they're getting at? Because that, too, is offensive. It's a comparison Tucker Carlson of frozen dinner fame made on his show last night, and, no, it doesn't make sense."
Making sense, she continued, is beside the point when it comes to reasoning with some conservatives — whom she branded "today's angels of death."
"It's about power and spreading lies and fake outrage so the MAGA squad wins elections," she insisted. "They are today's angels of death. Refusing to get vaccinated and urging fellow Americans to remain exposed even as their own parents, grandparents, and children die of COVID. The numbers prove it. Red America has the highest rates of COVID death, but the lowest rates of vaccinations. They are literally killing people."
She demanded, "How many more people have to die before we say what we have all known for quite some time? This faction of the right is a death cult. Six unvaccinated members of a Florida family dead after contracting COVID, mothers dying shortly after giving birth, parents of young children wiped out. And then the harrowing news that more than 140,000 U.S. children have lost a caregiver due to the pandemic. Almost two years in, the trauma is irreversible. It's a trauma that has crossed generations. It is permanent and unforgiving.And so we ask again, how many more people have to die before these ghouls are satisfied?"
Famous investigative journalist reveals what multiple intel sources told her about the Baltimore bridge collapse: 'A brilliant strategic attack'
Lara Logan is a well-known name in investigative journalism. She used to be the chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, and she covered some of the biggest stories in the world.
However, when Logan began honestly looking into what liberals notoriously call right-wing hysteria, such as COVID vaccine skepticism, 2020 election fraud, and Jan. 6 alternative narratives, she was essentially condemned as “a star of far-right media,” according to the New York Times.
Pat Gray, however, is a huge fan of Logan’s brutally honest work — which is what all journalism should be.
“We've been following your work for a really long time and appreciate everything you do,” he tells her.
Logan’s most recent reports revolve around the tragic Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland.
On March 26, the day the bridge was struck, Logan took to X to expose what she says is clearly a “‘strategic attack’ on US critical infrastructure — most likely cyber.”
“As soon as it came down, the authorities were claiming there was no evidence of any kind of wrongdoing,” says Pat.
“Yes, which was odd because they hadn't had time to investigate, so for the authorities to make a definitive statement about anything was unusual, especially when you look at the nature of what happened,” says Logan.
After talking to many people, including some who “had worked in Baltimore for 30 years,” some who “worked in maritime attacks,” and others who “are still on active duty in the intelligence community,” Lara came away with a narrative about the bridge collapse that didn’t at all match the official statement given by authorities.
“One person in particular knew instantly that from the very first moment that he saw that ship, it wasn't inside the channel, which is where it has to be when it's on course,” she explains.
Further, “Multiple intelligence professionals” told Lara that they “knew the moment they saw it” that the collision “was a technique ... because [they] carry out this technique on foreign battlefields.”
“It's called 'spoofing,'” they told her, and “by the time [the ship crew] is throwing off the anchor or doing whatever [they] can to try and correct [the GPS attack], it's simply too late.”
To learn about how “spoofing” works and the likely reasons behind this alleged orchestrated attack, watch the clip below.
