One American’s “enemy” is another American’s hero.<\/p>\n

With that said, I want to share a brief item that showed up today on my social media news feed. It comes from U.S. Rep. Val Demings, a Florida Democrat who is running for a seat in the Senate occupied by Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n

Demings said: Marjorie Taylor Greene called Dr. Fauci an \u201cenemy to our nation\u201d and members of the GOP like Marco Rubio have called for Dr. Fauci to be fired \u2013 so I\u2019ve created a petition to stand up for Dr. Fauci and other scientists …\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Who is Marjorie Taylor Greene? She is the Georgia congresswoman who spouts stupid and insanely frightening rhetoric endorsed by the QAnon crowd about the pandemic, the vaccines developed to rid us of the virus and assorted other nonsense.<\/p>\n

Greene, a Republican (of course!) is the true “enemy to our nation.” Dr. Anthony Fauci has become the go-to guy on the pandemic and how we need to ensure we do not become infected.<\/p>\n

Marjorie Taylor Greene is entitled to spout her trash. I am entitled — indeed, obligated<\/em>, in my view — to ignore it. Oh, and I also am entitled to speak out against such hideous idiocy.<\/p>\n\n
