NIH Director Spanked For Blaming Biden For COVID Vax Misinformation

During a lengthy interview on Face the Nation, NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya was continually fact checked when he lied and said President Biden was at fault for eroding public trust on vaccines by the public at large during the COVID pandemic.

The debate took off when Bhattacharya discussed honoring Officer Rose, who was killed by a vaccine denier during a shooting at the CDC.

FTN host Margaret Brennan brought up the shooter's father, who said "he was brainwashed about the COVID vaccine and thought it was making him suicidal."

Bhattacharya wanted no part of that discussion. He started blaming Biden when Brennan jumped in.

BRENNAN: The Trump administration officials.

BHATTACHARYA: No, I mean, I mean like Biden. So Biden, uh, for instance,

BRENNAN: It began under the Trump administration.

BHATTACHARYA: The Biden administration censored me, right? They censored, they've sent out, uh, uh, direct attacks on people who disagreed on, on, on the COVID on, on sort of whether the COVID vaccine, uh, stopped him,

BRENNAN: RFK Jr called the COVID vaccine the deadliest vaccine ever made. That is misinformation and we're not being clear about that. And I think that is dangerous.

Insurrectionists Sue The Federal Government For Entrapment

Twelve J6 insurrectionists, including Oath Keeper Roberto Minuto, have filed a lawsuit against the federal government for one million dollars each, claiming that the whole insurrection was "a trap" to give it "the appearance of a riot."

According to the Ticktin Law Group, the law firm representing the dirty dozen, the government was hatching the plan to entrap people for months:

"Long before January 6th, in fact, going back at least to September of 2020," the filing says, conspirators held Zoom meetings and plotted "to turn a peaceful protest of the conservative J6ers...into the appearance of a riot."

"Those seditionists...actually plotted to break some of the windows of the Capitol Building so that their compatriots and foreign participants would enter the Capitol Building to unlock and open the doors of the Capitol so that the anticipated protestors outside would be herded into the Capitol Building," the complaint says.

The complaint also states that an unidentified "instigator," described only as wearing a red MAGA cap with the tag still attached, was the person who broke the first window to gain entrance into the Capitol.

The complaint cites Trump's pardons and commutations throughout as the basis for their demand. However, the report does not indicate whether they acknowledge that Trump was President at the time that this alleged plot was concocted and executed.

Mike Rogers Releases Hostage Video Calling El-Sayed The Other

Mike Rogers released this creepy video of him and his wife, looking like an angry HOA MAGA Karen, both of them seemingly offended that Michigan could soon choose Dr Abdul El-Sayed instead of these two rich, entitled Floridians. The obligatory Islamophobia and racism seem to be Rogers' only campaign strategy at this point.

"They look like Lifetime movie villains," quipped one internet user.

Former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers released a campaign message on Friday appealing directly to Democratic voters after Michigan Democrats nominated Abdul El-Sayed for Senate earlier this week.

El-Sayed, a former public health official, narrowly defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. Backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), El-Sayed will now face Rogers in November for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI).

Rogers sought to capitalize on divisions within the Democratic Party, arguing that voters dissatisfied with the primary outcome should consider supporting his campaign.
