Sen. Eric Schmitt Digs Up a Fauci-Related Flashback From NPR to Let Them Know 'Why We Defunded You'

Over the last several years we've gotten accustomed to NPR-style "journalism." 

Back in 2020, shortly before the presidential election, NPR made a big contribution to the effort to carry Joe Biden across the finish line.

As you know, the laptop and its contents were real and the only "distraction" NPR participated in was the gaslighting effort surrounding that story.

After Dr. Fauci's appearance before the Senate Homeland Security Committee where he went full Lois Lerner and took the Fifth more than 100 times, another late 2020 offering from NPR started making the rounds.

Why do so many people to this day believe that Fauci didn't spread lies? Because outlets like NPR were defending him at every turn and parroting Fauci's desired narrative. 

A new poll finds 40% of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was created in a lab in China.

There is zero evidence for this. Scientists say the virus was transmitted to humans from another species.https://t.co/GDTo2geUng

This is where Sen. Eric Schmitt came in with a reminder for NPR. 

This is why we defunded you @npr https://t.co/nYxk53RZqz

That and so many other reasons. 

Never apologized for any of it or admitted they were wrong https://t.co/8hpv6rDjap

And they never will.
