Molly Jong-Fast’s attempt to paint Marco Rubio as a COVID19 hypocrite for criticizing Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t nearly as successful as she thinks

Before and since then, Rubio has been tweeting about government officials and their media apologists repeatedly misleading when it comes to the science of the war on COVID.

Yesterday, Rubio tweeted about Dr. Anthony Fauci’s frequent walkbacks and goalpost shifting:

Dr. Fauci lied about masks in March

Dr. Fauci has been distorting the level of vaccination needed for herd immunity

It isn’t just him

Many in elite bubbles believe the American public doesn’t know “what’s good for them” so they need to be tricked into “doing the right thing”

We’d say Rubio’s beefs are pretty valid, wouldn’t you?

"It's a bit of that": Fauci admits polling affected his comments on herd immunity; "I want to encourage the people of the United States & globally to get vaccinated … The bottom line is it’s a guesstimate and I gave a range." pic.twitter.com/YplDxRyKhz

But for some reason, Daily Beast editor-at-large and Bulwark token liberal Molly Jong-Fast seems to think that Rubio has outed himself as a COVID19 hypocrite:

Wow, she sure busted him!

If you point out willful misleading of the public on COVID19, does that mean you can’t get a COVID19 vaccine?

Fauci copped to doing both those things for the reasons Rubio says. How does that make getting the vaccine hypocritical? An extremely lame attempt at a dunk.

In other words, classic Molly Jong-Fast.

Don’t bother it’s Molly.

She's very smart you know, and got her job based on merit.

Heh.

To be fair, she's an idiot.

In Molly’s defense, she’s a complete idiot.

Maybe we should go easy on her.

Nah.
