Remember, around a week ago, when Trump, in front of a live audience with Bill O'Reilly, endorsed the coronavirus vaccines and was rewarded with a smattering of boos from the assembled faithful? In the above video, his fan girl Candace Owens explains why Trump is so benighted as to believe in vaccines. It's indescribable. He comes from a time "before TV" (and the Internet) and just believes what he hears about the efficacy of vaccines. "Believe it or not," she says, mystified, he still gets his news from "mainstream" outlets and is unable to conduct his own research at "obscure websites." No wonder he thinks vaccines work! In her telling, the lack of obscure websites tempted Eisenhower voters to get vaccinated against polio. We all know how that turned out! There's no "corruption," she assures her fellow travelers; he's just old-fashioned, not hip (like her).
Donald Trump: not dumb enough for Candace Owens. Maybe she's going to run against him.
She was a couple years ago the headlining speaker at the annual dinner of a local right-wing think tank, Center of the American Experiment. Tells you what you need to know about those Thinkers of Big Thoughts. You can keep watching for more of her schtick, above, after she's done dissecting Trump's superannuated ways. "Seamless," as the think tank's publicist enthused.
My other notable video of the day is an old Antonio Brown. (You have to click "Watch on YouTube.") He's making a great punt return. After he's crossed midfield and is approaching the other team's 40-yard-line, there's nothing but open field ahead, especially if he veers toward the left sideline. But instead of scoring a touchdown, he veers toward the middle of the field, so that he can kick the punter in the head. Hard to believe that trouble is still finding him.
