Fox News Lisa Boothe, Who Bragged About Not Getting Vaccinated as Middle Finger to Biden, Gets Covid. Imagine being that twisted and sick that you believe exposing yourself to a deadly disease is a way to "own the libs."

Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe has been getting quite a bit of attention lately, after taking a vocal stand against Covid-19 vaccines. But she has appeared on Fox News a few times since bragging about being anti-vaxx during an appearance with Dan Bongino in October. And now, she will continue to be off the air for at least a few days, as she revealed in new tweets that she has contracted Covid-19.

Boothe appeared on Unfiltered with Dan Bongino on October 23rd and railed against what she called the Biden administration’s desire to “control” and “force his opponents to submit to him.” She slammed the administration’s advancement of vaccine mandates, told Bongino she was not vaccinated, and was “doubling down” on not getting the shot as a “giant middle finger to President Joe Biden’s tyranny.”

According to a search on television transcript database TVEye, Boothe has appeared on Fox News just four times since making the statement above: October 31st on Bongino’s show, November 20 to guest host Bongino’s show, November 28th with Steve Hilton, and mid-December on The Ingraham Angle. It remains unclear if the fewer appearances on Fox News are related to her vocal anti-vaccine stance.

Fox & Friends Sunday teased Boothe would be appearing as a contributor to Fox’s Big Sunday Show, but viewers who tuned in eager to see her among the remote panelists may have been disappointed to learn that she had been replaced by Katie Pavlich.

So she is admitting she allowed herself to get sick as a meaningless gesture. I think she is the one who was owned in this one

But they are taking their sick selves out into the world and sickening the innocent responsible citizens at the same time.

History will record this Mass Republican Suicide as
THE GREATEST EXERCISE OF WILLFUL IGNORANCE OF ALL TIME.

RW faux-noise-like's telling their cultists to "believe" their constant lies, to the point they'll get the "Qool-Aid" and die as a result.

I bet the younger cultists don't even know about the "original" Jonestown. Those who ignore the lessons of History...

13. Fox News Star Was Up for 'The View' Gig Until She Refused to Get Vaccine
Wed Dec 29, 2021, 01:40 PM
Dec 2021
Lisa Marie Boothe interviewed to replace Meghan McCain as the talk show’s in-house conservative. But conversations ended when she publicly refused to get any vaccines.

The View’s already difficult path to replacing Meghan McCain as its resident conservative co-host was made slightly more difficult when one contender made clear she would not get vaccinated for COVID-19.

Fox News contributor Lisa Marie Boothe interviewed with ABC News and The View executives earlier this year, a source close to Boothe told The Daily Beast. Those conservations ended, this person with knowledge of the situation said, after the conservative pundit made clear to the network that she will not get any of the required jabs against the coronavirus.

An ABC News source confirmed to The Daily Beast that the network had conversations with Boothe, among “dozens and dozens” of candidates. The show never had an opportunity to offer her a guest-hosting spot or book a potential date. And once Boothe’s stance on vaccinations became apparent, the source said, further conversation became a “moot point” and a “non-starter” due to the network’s strict policies.

ABC News’ parent company, the Walt Disney Co., currently requires all U.S. employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus. And New York City, where The View tapes its episodes before a live studio audience, now mandates vaccines for all private-sector workers. Fox News requires employees at its NYC headquarters to be vaccinated. Boothe, who is currently based in Miami and revealed this week that she tested positive for COVID-19, did not respond to requests for comment.

Course, she could also be lying about not being vaxxed.

Or lying about testing positive now.

But if it's Omicron she has, it might not work.
I don't wish the worst, just enough of the COVID experiance that she gets a taste of the damage she is doing to others with her bullshit.
And will have to apologize to the hospital workers who will have to care for her sorry ass

plus I hope it's a really bad case that runs her hospital bill through the roof. And I hope she recovers with
lifetime breathing problems so she can reflect on why she worships at the alter of the orange GOD.

Vaxxed and boosted.
She has no protection. She has a way bigger chance of being much more ill than me and I think she has a much bigger chance of long term problems.
If she does get through it ok her antibody level will be much lower than mine.
It’s sad to she such a young person use MAGA anger to risk their future.

Or has she killed anyone she spread the virus too? Or is she or whom she spread it to very sick? Perhaps they'll have long COVID. That's the problem with these nit wits. Pure selfishness for no good reason.

Seriously, those who spread misinformation and influence others against the vaccine should suffer the same consequences as the fools who perished.
