We don't have a picture so here's an artist's depiction of what he probably looks like. Wait, but this guy is wearing a mask so the guy is EVEN CRAZIER THAN THIS PERSON.

There is no point in feigning seriousness over this story: It is self-parodying to begin with. The Daily Beast has uncovered a true member of the deep state, a government operative who moonlights in his off hours as an internet troll dreaming of, er, the violent but justified overthrow of the gubbermint for which he works. Yeah, it's a conservative. Yeah, it's a conservative blogger. Yeah, he's been deep into the conspiracy-nut weeds, a la Michael Caputo, with the idle suggestions that maybe it's going to soon be time to start killing liberals but without the self-reflection that allowed Caputo to acknowledge that maybe his mental faculties were no longer fully facultied if he was thinking such things.

Meet William B. Crews, a public relations mandude at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of those science-riddled government organizations that conservatives despise for having so many damn ideas about things. Crews works for Dr. Anthony Fauci, currently the conservative posterchild for power-mad thing-knowing on account of his various suggestions on ways we could make Americans, you know, not die so much. And when Crews is not doing that, he's launching furious tirades about "mask nazi" Fauci on the decidedly mid-tiered conservative not-that-crazy "RedState" blog, where he suggests that scientists warning of the "Wuhan virus scare" were engaged in a "massive fraud" to Destroy Our Wayz Of Life.
