Fox News' Jesse Watters: "If you look at the map of the United States and they show the hot spots, all of the hot spots are in huge Democrat cities."

This is, of course, absolutely NOT true.

1. HA! What freaking liars.

FL is #1 with a bullet and all the states around us are bright red for super high risk. It's actually the opposite, the only spots of non greatly increasing cases is the northeast which has super high vaccination rates.

[PortTack]

2. In AR??? Where there are no ICU beds...in SW MO..surrre

[Volaris]

17. springfield mo is just a damn sanctuary city I'm telling ya!

Smdh they cant possibly believe that even their own viewers are dumb enough to believe shit like this??

I suppose in their defense, if you live in sister-fuck missouri, Springfield is the Big City where all the immigrants have their restaurants.

[LakeArenal]

3. Just too Effin unbelievable.

And the nutz will continue to nut.

[RainCaster]

5. It's Faux News

Truth is never a concern in that world.

[empedocles]

6. The lying, as has often been noted here [Carlson], seems to be getting more manic.

Local story. Local trumper. Amiable, helpful, real estate agent. However, seems to be getting more politicallly frenetic.

Yesterday he seized on a local story. MLB game postponed because, in his words, ''12 Nats infected. Can you believe that!!''
[I clearly got the impression, that I was supposed to believe the whole vaccination thing was obviously wrong.]

[The actual facts of the story was that 4 Nat players were infected, and 8 more in the Washington Nationals organization. His version may well have been the way his rw 'news' source played it. However, he was obsessed with that misguided point, and could not get off of it].

7. What possible difference could that make to get vaxxed and mask?

Another excuse? Oh it’s only in big cities (read: black) so I don’t need to worry.

[Nevilledog]

8. Anything to blame "others", it's never about personal accountability.

[spanone]

9. there should be laws against using the word 'news' and telling lies.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Sure, LA, AR, and OK are very Democratic.

[Chainfire]

11. And yet, blood red Florida leads the nation that leads the world in new infections.

And it doesn't matter a whit. The rightwing faithful will accept the lies because lies are the only thing that they know.

[roamer65]

12. Their buildings should be quarantined.

No one allowed in or out.

[NickB79]

13. Note they said cities, not states

Which carries a bit of truth, because virtually all major metropolises in the southern hotspot states are blue islands in a sea of red. Of course, they're blue because most thinking people leave those backwater one-street towns for a better life in the cities.

They're also where all those red-county rural bumpkins go when the hoax virus fills their lungs, which drives the surge they're trying to downplay.

[Initech]

14. Florida is responsible for like over 25% of new COVID cases in the country.

And guess who is in charge? Oh yeah that's right, Ron DeathSentence. Fuck off, Fox.

[Bristlecone]

15. It's the beginning of their "Change the Narrative" campaign

From no big deal, to against your freedumb, to unsafe vaccine, to Dems are to blame for red state deaths. They will soon be blaming Biden for not doing enough to get the free-for
-everyone vaccines into arms.

As predictable as the sun riding in the east.

[tanyev]

16. Riiiiight, the greater Joplin/Springfield/Branson metroplex.
