If Fox & Friends is to be taken seriously, then South Africa, the World Health Organization, the Democratic Party, and the Biden administration are all part of a massive conspiracy to keep Democrats in power by routinely introducing new variants of the coronavirus.
Rachel Campos-Duffy, Pete Hegseth, and Will Cain helmed Fox & Friends on Saturday as they lamented that “We are toying around with the potential idea of lockdowns again.” This was part of a broader segment about how the spread of the Omicron Covid variant is prompting international travel bans from the Biden administration and new concerns about infection rates from the WHO.
The variant, which is spreading through South Africa, is also sparking new conversations about lockdowns that were prevalent in the U.S. at the start of the pandemic, and Fox & Friends managed to tie this to the recurring question of whether Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg “is potentially our new president in 2024, or so the Democrats want.”
“[He] has said we can’t fix the supply chain problem until the pandemic is over, until Covid is over,” said Campos-Duffy. “And now we see these new variants. So that’s the answer: more lockdowns, more lockdowns, more fear and therefore he doesn’t have to do his job of fixing the supply chain because ‘we’ll keep this whole thing going.'”
“Always a new variant,” Cain said, and
Campos-Duffy laughed at that as Cain told Hegseth “you’re probably right. However, they could speed up. The variants could come more quickly.” That led to Hegseth mimicking a person on the phone saying “we’re gonna need a new variant here.”
Those remarks came after Campos-Duffy took a more serious view of Omicron earlier on, by warning that the variant “could possibly wreak more havoc on our economy and American way of life.” The show also re-aired footage of Fox News medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel, who warned about the “highly contagious” variant on Thursday.
