Fox News' 'The Five' Says Biden Is an 'Anti-Vaxxer' and Trump Was 'Ahead of the Science' and ProMask

Co-hosts on Fox News‘ “The Five” on Monday say President Joe Biden is an anti-vaxxer while then-President Donald Trump was “ahead of the science” and supported mask-wearing.

Both claims are provably false.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld told Fox News viewers that President Joe Biden is “definitely” doing more harm than President Donald Trump by sometimes wearing a mask in situations the CDC says is not necessary, like outdoors while being socially distant.

“Donald Trump was following the science,” on masks, Gutfeld lied, “and in fact was one step ahead of the science in a number of ways including the vaccine rollout,” which is also false. There was not actual plan to get shots into arms when the Biden administration took over in January.

“So let’s dispel that lie once and for all that Trump like ran away from masks,” Gutfeld insisted, re-writing history, suggesting Trump was in support of masks because he “went further than most people when it came to shutting down the economy, his economy, I might add that he was doing pretty great at the time.”

It's all a show, a con to attract low-information, dim-witted viewers. Its sole purpose is to get poor, working, and middle class White people to vote for politicians that will cut taxes on the rich.

hate/lie/'dehumanisation of the other' programming going out to 100 million or so (directly and indirectly), ramped up to ever higher levels year after year, and not have something, somewhere, trigger off a chain reaction of violence. The 1st Amendment has been gamed by the RW to where it will be be a suicide pact, same as the 2nd Amendment will be.
