...I want all of these idiots defending an election-eve vaccine to be first in line.

I assume he means vaccine. "Americans don’t need convincing not to take a virus."

What 35K is he referring to "unwillingly taking it"?

Newt G. needs to disappear. He's done enough damage to the U.S. and the Repuke Party, as well.

...which doesn't make sense even if NG had written vaccine instead of virus.

It's something deserving of ridicule and mocking. Gingrich, too.

It was Newt that said “take a virus” when he meant “take a vaccine”

His point was that people are getting the virus and dying without the Democrats having anything to do with it. I think the 35k number is the number of positive tests per day ongoing

...has been Republican standard operating procedure for decades.

Newt should know. He's devoted his career to making sure nobody slacked off and did the right thing.

...but is, as you say, pure projection.

We can all still see Trump's own people STILL claiming the virus is a hoax, most of them vowing to NEVER take a vaccine for an illness they refuse to accept as real and a threat to them and their communities.

And yeah they're desperate. They can see Covid all around them, they're just engaged in stupid lying to promote their loser president's re-election bid. There isn't a more cynical game in town than Trump support.
