Snopes: Did Ted Nugent Ask Why There Were No Lockdowns for ‘COVID 1 Thru 18’? (Rating: True)

In a nearly 12-minute video shared from the verified Facebook account of Ted Nugent, the musician vented his frustrations about the COVID-19 pandemic, while amplifying conspiracy theories, in a bizarre rant.

"You know, I guess I would ask you — because I’m addicted to truth, logic and common sense — and my common-sense meter would demand the answer to why weren’t we shut down for COVID one through 18?"

"COVID-1 — and there was a COVID 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 — COVID one through 18 didn’t shut anything down but woah, COVID-19!"

He did not appear to be joking.

Not surprising to hear from the guy who claimed he didn't know Journey to the Center of the Mind was about drugs.

[Progressive Jones]

22. LOL ! I knew a guy who lived there about 20 years ago, if it's the building I picture.

Yeah, I brought up the NW 'burbs because his Mom lived there.

An older cousin of mine attended St. Viator HS in Arlington Hts. with Nugent. I've seen the yearbooks.

[mopinko]

23. well, it stands out.

used to be the leland hotel, but may have changed it.
this was back in the 70's. a lot has changed out there, but the need for a cheap place to stay aint one of them. prolly still is sro. not good for anything else.

2. Wait, did we think Ted Nugent was an intelligent human being?

Liked the Amboy Dukes, but never thought that made Ted intelligent.

[ProgRocknProgPol]

26. At least Steve Farmer balanced ol' Ted out in the Amboy Dukes.

[TheRealNorth]

3. Is that the best he could come up with after a year?

[MyOwnPeace]

4. You cannot hit your head

hard enough and long enough to equal that much stupid!

[Grokenstein]

5. Isn't he supposed to be "dead or in jail"?

Anyway, don't poop yourself Ted--oh wait, too late.

[Shellback Squid]

31. promises, promises, he never keeps his word, much like trump

[brewens]

6. I was just thinking the other day I was a little disappointed in "Uncle Ted". He should be out

Q-ing most of the Q-dips, and not by just a little bit. I was afraid he was having physical health issues.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

8. For some ,the Lobotomy won't work

Ted is in that category. Not sorry the stupid,it burns

Hey Ted:

[Arkansas Granny]

10. Didn't Kellyanne Conway make a similar statement last year.

This is Covid-19, not Covid-1, folks. You would think that people charged with the World Health Organization facts and figures would be on top of that. This is just a pause right now.

[StatWoman]

11. KellyAnne Conway also tried to push the COVID 1-18 BS fairly early on

I couldn't tell if she was really that stupid, or whether it was an attempt at propagandizing the followers.

Correcting myself: What she said was "This is COVID-19, not COVID-1".

[Efilroft Sul]

12. That's funny. I would've thought Nugent would've been hot for any COVID under 18.

[North Shore Chicago]

27. lol

[roamer65]

13. Bet he already got vaccinated.

Useless fuck has no courage. Shit his pants to get out of the Vietnam War.

[FuzzyRabbit]

14. Fair warning. My IQ just went down about 50 points.

I made the mistake of listening to Nugent's rambling, unhinged rant for about 45 seconds.

[Progressive Jones]

15. Shut up and play your guitar at the hillbilly county fairs, Nugent.

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. I think they're negotiating for him to be the opening act

for trump's Griftapalooza '21 Tour. He's going to perform a medley of his hit.

[Progressive Jones]

21. Hit !!! LMAO !!! nt

[dogknob]

24. Stick to the pentatonic scale and pooping your pants.

[tblue37]

25. Kellyanne Conway also made the Covid 1-18 mistake.

https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/ignorant-kellyanne-conway-ridiculed-for-scientifically-illiterate-covid-19-ran/

She said it was Covid 19, not Covid 1, so the scientists should have a handle on it:

“This is COVID-19, not COVID-1 folks, and so you would think the people in charge of the World Health Organization, facts and figures, would be on top of that,” Conway said.

[BlueStater]

28. Maybe they should have called it COVID 2019.

But then this dipshit just would have asked why we didn’t lock down for the first 2,018 pandemics.

[maxrandb]

30. Skinny, racist, ignorant, drug-addled and being a one-riff dipshit

is no way to go through life son.

The military would have knocked some sense into you. May have even solved your bedwetting and pants-pooping.

[HAB911]

32. What a Brainiac

[lastlib]

34. There's a reason they don't let Shittypants play with subatomic particles....

[MissMillie]

33. Dumb-ass pedophile should have been locked-down a long time ago (n/t)

.

[lame54]

35. And how come there was no lockdown during Cat Scratch Fever?
