Oklahoma GOP Chair John Bennett, who is running for Congress, said he wants to put Dr. Anthony Fauci in front of a firing squad ― and the crowd at a campaign event clapped and cheered.
Bennett ranted in a video that Right Wing Watch shared online Tuesday, which has now gone viral.
“We’re in a war with bureaucrats that have forced vaccine mandates on us, mask mandates on us.”.
Bennett then railed against something he described as “wokeness confusion,” which he alleged is being pushed “down our throats now.”.
Then came his sinister line about Fauci, who has been targeted by repeated death threats for his public health work during the coronavirus pandemic.
“And by the way, we should try Anthony Fauci and put him in front of a firing squad,” said Bennett, not really expanding on what crime he believes Fauci has committed.
