They’re getting the baselines established for a “right wing extremism” purge. Bet on it.

Additional excerpt:

CIARAN O’CONNOR: Yeah. When you look at the data, the thing that comes up again and again are vaccines. So, talking about vaccines, presenting the vaccines as deadly for humans, targeting pharmaceutical companies, and claiming— you also see older forms of hatred have used amongst extreme right communities. Like anti-Semitism kind of merged with vaccine conspiracy. So, claiming that various officials with the CDC or with Pfizer, or other pharmaceutical companies are Jewish people. And making these kinds of claims, as well.

Could someone explain a “right wing” conspiracy? Is it anything that counters their lies?

Definition is facts and reality that contradict the progressive agenda.

Anyone who believes in the constitution, supports freedom, capitalism and the USA is considered a “right wing extremist” to them. But it also extends to anyone who questions them or doesn’t side with them. If we go by pure logic and common sense they are the definition of “extremists”.

Quick! Somebody get a hold of Lee Greenwood and tell ‘em we need a new ballad just for us . . . “I’m proud to be a Right-Wing Extremist!”

I’ll hep him with the first line.

I’m proud to be a right-wing extremist,
because the left can’t get enough hate on me . . .

By COVID-19 conspiracy content they are referring to any and all commentary, research, and activities that bring any aspect of the “Fauci as God and all his edicts” into question.

Merely discussing information that does not comply with the Authoritarian narrative is now “misinformation “. Remember that and do your own homework to rationalize and logically determine who is credible using real data necessary for Scientific Analysis.
Carry on.

In the minds of the true believers science flows from Fauci. He is not constrained by science. In his own words, “I AM SCIENCE.” I exhale science. He intimates.

A despicable lie from Satan. I have never ever seen anti-Semitic comments associated with the garbage vaccine. Just another effort to smear and marginalize people who will not submit to the Fauci tyranny.

The Commies ALWAYS accuse you of what they are actually doing.

Ciaran needs a free helicopter ride on Pinochet Airlines.

Exactly. The political spectrum has shifted so far left that moderates are now considered extremists…while they have not shifted at all

Nope. NO one has ever said that.
