    There’s a lot more to go into beyond the most recent and obvious, but it involves his deliberate targeting of the black community with misinformation and a discussion of historical usage of Great Replacement theories, historical dogwhistling, and other kinds of nuance that someone asking honest questions might be interested in.

      " I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews"

        Yep, that’s what a lying racist who doesn’t know what he’s talking about sounds like when he gets called out.

          Yeah. In the original clip he only mentions Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese (nothing about Finns). He was shoehorning a conspiracy theory into conveniently chosen facts.
