\u201cIf, during the time of the COVID pandemic, you were called the racist for calling the virus a \u2018Wuhan virus\u2019 or the \u2018China virus\u2019; if you thought the six-foot rule was total crap; if you thought the vaccine wasn\u2019t something that you should take; if you thought it was outrageous the way the mass policy was rolled out; if you were fired from your job for not taking that vaccine, including members of the military; if you thought closing schools was catastrophically stupid \u2026 saying these things made you somehow a lesser human being,\u201d Moreno said.<\/p>\n
