dr. fauci but would listen to a governor desantis. these are the kinds of issues the governor could address. and the press is right to wonder where he is in this moment. he could be encouraging people to get vaccinated, to get boosted, encouraging them to take precautions in public. but suddenly because the pandemic is partisan i don t know he s going to change course even though the former president appears to be singing a different tune out of office in this moment. but folks like brittny, for example, could use the help of their elected leaders. like that matters. right. maybe he s on break. you know, real quick, waneta, can we talk about trying to blame biden for the pandemic? come on. look, desantis is a prime member of that group to the point where the president has called him out on more than one occasion to get out of the way.
aaron haines, editor at large at the 19th and an msnbc contributor. aaron, right-wing drivers of disinformation hurt their own supporters, but what about the impact this entrenched anti-vax minority is having on all of us including people of color? yeah, absolutely. and jonathan, let me also just thank you and thank brittny for illustrating the human toll of misinformation, and good on brittny for not giving up on her love ones. her sister getting vaccinated is huge. it s good to be with you and waneta. people like alex jones still committed to misinformation about covid-19 are not going to let facts or president trump get in the way. and, you know, we know who that is harming. you mentioned some of the groups that is harming at the top of the show, you know, people of ulcolor who we know continue to be disproportionately impacted

of. and they are trying to pick up the machine as a democracy and not having it used towards a party s end. and to me, that is clear. i did a lot of reporting around the election about the work that was going under the have scrutiny, the dropboxes, how secure they were, counting. it was a remarkably well run, pret kwlien election. the story that s being told from trump and his supporters are completely at odds from that reality. and that was tough if you actually worked on it. yeah. waneta, i want to put on the screen a quote republicans who sought to undercut or overturn biden s election win are launching campaigns to become the state s top elected officials next year. we all know in the news perhaps
