Bennett’s most obvious expertise is probably in gambling. When he was exposed for being something of a gambling obsessive, contradicting his faux-sober and even-keeled public propaganda, Bennett did what all right-wing political hypocrites have done: he laid low for a little bit and then found a career speaking as an elder statesman on Fox News.

Bennett goes on to refer to an earlier interview with TV quack Dr. Oz, saying that old people and those with serious health issues are still the only real people at risk. He also explains how this has led to unneeded panic and the closing of businesses. He might want to talk to New York City, but Bennett’s experience in the tri-state area is most likely localized to Atlantic City. So far, everything Bennett has said is wrong and misleading and dangerous to the general public. But Bennett having already paid the big blind eye here on conservative news wasn’t going to just pass, he was ready to double down on his gaslighting.

BENNETT: This was not, and is not, a pandemic.

Let that sink in. It turns out, that not only are the liberals and their partisan public health politics wrong, so is the entire planet. Kilmeade gives what passes for pushback on Fox & Friends, saying that “Well, it is labeled a ‘pandemic.’” Way to be a coward, Brian.
