Fauci was trying his best to navigate a shitty situation and you had fuckers like Krystal and Sagaar on Breaking Points spewing hatred at him. All of them are fucking assholes. Fauci isn't a fucking politician or pundit or anything ... he's trying to save lives by making choices and decisions where people were ready to sacrifice him regardless for political reasons. But Breaking Points are oh so happy to shit on him and the comment section is full of antivax and covid deniers.
I have never heard of Krystal Ball until recently, and she's making the rounds for an interview with Adam Smith, and seems to be portrayed as some leftist pundit. And now seeing this comment, it feels like life has been and will be ok not hearing from her ever again.
I generally like Krystal's other views and she's married to Kyle Kuklinski (whom I like) and they have shows together and she has good takes going up against Bill Maher. I started to watch her like a year or two ago. It was just when Fauci was getting an award around his retirement or whenever and I just saw an episode of Breaking Points just attacking him. They were like, he's just a liar and he doesn't deserve any awards for his career and it completely put me off for a while. I did restart listening to her myself ... but I'm more "critical" or aware around her. Destiny popped into my feed recently and I really like him and then people say he's pro-Israel ... so I'm going to just pay more attention around those areas.
That being said I turned off Breaking Points the show itself entirely. The covid denial comments were overwhelming during the Fauci episodes and then Saagar (or however you spell it) was a Trump supporter to a degree for a while. He did a mea culpa from the "manosphere" stuff eventually though.
