The sound bite that Clay and Buck played of Dr. Fauci admonishing people to hold back on fun for the greater good could have been aired every day for the last 18 months, they remarked, since he constantly repeats his orders. But it also seemed custom-made, they noted, for Barack Obama’s indoor tented 60th birthday bash this past weekend on the ritzy island of Martha’s Vineyard.
“To me, it’s understandable that people want to do the kinds of things they want to do, they want their freedom to do that. But there comes a time when you’re dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family, and everyone else, that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do,” Fauci scolded about the Sturgis, South Dakota, motorcycle outdoor rally while hypocritically never mentioning the Obama possible tented superspreader. “I mean, you’re gonna ultimately be able to do that in the future, but let’s get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on.”
Obama and his hundreds of partiers ignored Fauci’s constant warnings and, in fact, “threw Jen Psaki and Joe Biden under the bus,” Clay said, by disregarding their dire public health directives.
Clay declared that this is because “covid knew it was a sophisticated crowd” and wondered if we had seen the online videos before they got deleted. When Clay said he couldn’t wait to hear how White House press secretary Psaki would “spin this,” Buck theorized that she would say these are all responsible, vaccinated people and are part of the “elites,” that Buck knows, “expect us to live by rules they never would.”
In fact, regarding the term that a New York Times reporter had haughtily coined about the Obama revelers, Buck proclaimed, “I want to start wearing a T-shirt that says ‘Sophisticated, Vaccinated Individual’ so I can get out of everything.”
Not only hypocrisy was on the guest list. Thoughtlessness was, too, Clay relayed, since the party, instead of using a tent, could easily have been held solely outside on the 30 or so acres the Obamas have.
Continuing the elitist theme, Clay railed, the party was packed with celebrities, like Bradley Cooper, while non-household-name Obama longtime friends were slashed from the list.
Buck summed up the ultimate theme of all pompous party throwers: “I mean, I would just say this is more a branding exercise than a birthday, right?”
