CLAY: I wanted to play this cut for you. Dr. Fauci, Little Lord Fauci, who will not come on this show because he’s afraid to talk to Buck and I. By the way, Buck out sick today; he does not have covid. But you heard him yesterday. Pretty bad cold. He’s out today. Be back on Monday. But Little Lord Fauci was on, I believe it was MSNBC or CNN, whatever it is, one of the places where they never ask him difficult questions.
Remember when everybody said that referring to covid as coming from China was racist? Remember how that argument just got started? Despite the fact that we’ve long referred to viruses by where we have them initially arise, that’s geographically common, whether it’s something simple like Ebola or whether it’s the Spanish flu — which didn’t actually, it appears, originate in Spain.
Whether it is all these different viruses, many of them are connected to the place where we initially became aware that they existed. Well, we were told that was racist when Trump was referring to this as being from Wuhan or also as saying that maybe, potentially it had come out of a lab in China or the China virus or whatever it was. Well, listen to this Dr. Fauci uh-oh! He referred to it as the Wuhan virus. We have the cut. Here’s Little Lord Fauci.
FAUCI: If you look at the vaccination, we were vaccinated against the original, what we call, ancestral or Wuhan strain.
CLAY: Oh, my God! Fauci! He must be impeached immediately. Do you know how racist that was? Let me repeat that. Fauci, super racist. I’ve been informed reliably that if you refer to a virus as being from China, that means you are super racist. I’m going to play this for you again. I’m about to fall down on my couch. I’m grabbing my pearls. I’m fainting. Let’s listen to this again.
FAUCI: If you look at the vaccination, we were vaccinated against the original, what we call, ancestral or Wuhan strain.
CLAY: Oh, my God. The Wuhan strain! This is the most racist thing I have ever heard. I don’t know how immediately Fauci isn’t impeached. I demand he apologize for his racism. Are we going to reach out to Fauci and demand an apology policy for this racist remark? I can’t believe we even just played that! Is the FCC…? Are they going to shut us down? Are we even going to be allowed to do the show after that unbelievable racism from Dr. Fauci that we just broadcast across the nation?
