Donald Trump Jr. is absolutely furious that President Joe Biden dared urge Floridians to get vaccinated for COVID as they prepared for Hurricane Ian, and he wants us to believe that encouraging vaccinations for COVID means you’re in a cult.
In a video he made and posted on social media, a clearly agitated and perhaps wasted Don Jr. went on an extended rant, remarking:
“Is this a cult? What does it have to do with anything? There are so many more important things to dealing with a situation, an emergency situation, that could arise from a hurricane that being vaccinated is not one of them, folks. Not even, like, remotely, not even pretend. I’m gonna say that this is my opinion because I know that someone will try to fact-check me for it, not based on actual science, but they’ll have a couple of people who agree, and they wanna push their crap upon us, and so they’ll say I’m spreading misinformation, so this is just my opinion.”
He then added:
“It literally has no bearing on the situation at hand. If you’re dealing with 150 mile an hour winds, I assure you your vaccination status means nothing to you, your family, your friends.”
Oh, and while he was at it, the gun fetishist that lives inside Don Jr. also suggested firearms were more needed in a hurricane than anything else.
It’s a cult if you encourage people to get vaccinated? That’s pretty rich coming from a man whose father has openly courted the wackos from the QAnon movement who think Satan-worshiping pedophiles control all of the world’s governments and feast on the adrenal glands of children in order to stay eternally young. In other words, it’s a variation on the anti-Semitic trope that claimed for centuries Jews used the blood of children to make matzah. It’s wrong, it’s disgusting, and it’s dangerous.
It would be interesting to see if Junior believes the bullshit pumped out by the QAnon nutjobs, but he refuses to sit for an interview with a real journalist who would ask him such a question and hold his feet to the fire until he gave a yes or no response.
Twitter wasted no time reminding Don Jr. of his own hate speech and cultism, and obsession with weapons of mass murder.
Oh, and there’s also the fact that President Biden didn’t say what Don Jr. claims.
Nice try, Junior, but less drugs and more actual research would help.
