‘It’s Not Hard To Figure Out’: MSNBC Analyst Says Republicans Hate Fauci Because They Don’t Want COVID To Go Away
Calling the Republican Party a “death cult,” Heilemann argued that top Republicans were seeing the political advantage — especially going into the 2022 midterm elections — of allowing COVID-19 to continue to spread. “They know it hurts Joe Biden,” he said. “Their sense of the politics of this is dark. They think if Covid goes on longer, it puts them in a better position. They are right about that.”
Co-host Willie Geist claimed that prominent figures in right-leaning media were “comparing Fauci to a Nazi,” adding, “That’s been a story for a long time that Fauci is profiting to from the vaccine, all these things that are not true. That then moves into the mainstream of conservative media and becomes gospel, that he’s a villain and that somehow he’s asserting his power by trying to get people vaccinated and protect the American public from this disease that’s killed 700,000 people.”
Heilemann’s conclusion was simple: “It’s because if people follow Fauci, there’s a likelier chance that COVID will go away. And if COVID goes away, it’s bad right now for Republicans. It’s just the math on this, the political math on this, it’s not hard to figure out,” he said.
