A senior counsel for the taxpayer-funded Public Broadcasting Service disclosed in a hidden-camera interview he wants "re-education camps" for the children of Republicans. And if Joe Biden had lost the election, he planned "go to the White House and throw Molotov cocktails."

In the hospital, our doctors — I have a brother and sister who are doctors, they wear the N95 mask, and it’s kept them from getting infected — but there’s no value to the cloth mask, at all. It’s like wearing your underwear. You might as well cut your underwear up...
