Top RNC official in Florida spreads Covid-19 conspiracies, calling vaccines the 'mark of the beast'

( Lies that can kill )

CNN —
Amid recent surging coronavirus cases in Florida, a top Republican National Committee official in the state has spread anti-vaccine rhetoric and misinformation, comparing the Biden administration’s vaccine efforts to Nazi-era “brown shirts,” and twice calling the vaccines “the mark of the beast,” comparable to a “false god.”

A review by CNN’s KFile found that Peter Feaman, a lawyer and RNC committeeman from Florida made the comments on his blog the “The Backhoe Chronicles,” which he publishes regularly in a private group on MeWe. The social media platform bills itself as the “anti-Facebook” app.

“The Biden brown shirts are beginning to show up at private homes questioning vaccine papers,” Feaman wrote on July 20, incorrectly implying government officials would be showing up at people’s homes to question their vaccination status, comparing them to the Nazi Party paramilitary wing.

wanting to show up at people's homes to find out who they voted for.

The Biden administration is wanting to do everything possible to get folks vaccinated and SAVE LIVES.

Peter Feaman is just another know-nothing douche bag trying to out troll everyone else and get attention and $$$.

Because trump mishandled the pandemic in the worst way of any leader on earth and probably in history, he had to say that maybe it isnt real in the first place and now 50 million stupids are going to die to show their allegiance to that.


Someone somewhere better figure out how bad this is, how quickly it can unravel and kill most of us and DO SOMETHING
