Ex-GOP Lawmaker Joe Walsh Issues Chilling Warning To Fox News Viewers

[ad_1]

Joe Walsh, a former Republican member of the House of Representatives and a one-time favorite of the far-right tea party movement, has a chilling warning for Fox News viewers amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

After sharing a clip of Fox News host Laura Ingraham dismissing efforts toward social distancing, Walsh warned that watching the network could get viewers killed:

Have I mentioned before that watching Fox News can get you killed? https://t.co/gia8oyHXa0

The White House and public health officials have promoted social distancing as a means of limiting contact between people and therefore reducing the spread of the virus.

“Social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases,” Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the leaders of the White House coronavirus task force, said over the weekend.

Walsh wasn’t alone in calling out Ingraham:

Laura Ingraham told her viewers tonight that there is no scientific evidence that social distance works. She quoted an unnamed Doc as saying viruses just spread, you can’t stop them. This is exhibit 459 in the class action lawsuit she and Fox are going to face.

.@IngrahamAngle is truly a dangerous imbecile. I hope she and @FoxNews have the shit sued out of them for literally causing thousands to die with deranged nonsense, lies and misinformation. https://t.co/6X5DzrMwig

.@FoxNews — what Laura ingraham said tonight on her show was deadly. You need to remove her from the air. She is habitual liar and a science denier. You said you would hold your hosts accountable for what they put out there… The bill has finally come due. Fire her, NOW.

“Dr.” Laura Ingraham, just so you know, I had to ration my supply of #Hydroxychloroquine for my Lupus these last 3 weeks. I FINALLY got my 90 day supply. All because people like yourself continue to PUSH this drug with no efficacy EXCEPT Veterans died while on this drug. https://t.co/DjmOSSnhZ5
