Ben Domenech: Consider the possibility we are led by idiots
'Fox News Primetime' hosts calls Dr. Fauci an 'obviously incompetent person' and a 'decade past his sell by date'

DOMENECH: Consider the possibility we are led by idiots. It’s a line I’ve reiterated for years to our team at The Federalist. It’s written on a sticker on my laptop.

Our new example is the god-emperor of Covid, Anthony Fauci, whose emails were released in response to a series of FOIA requests and show what a false god he was.
