    So was it fine for Charlie Kirk to say hydroxychloroquine was 100% effective in treating COVID? Because that’s the equivalence I’m making here: Charlie Kirk claiming hydroxychloroquine treated COVID and vaccines are ineffective in 2020 == Michelle Obama claiming Harris and Hillary lost because of their gender in 2025. Besides, again she’s the country’s most popular Democrat; even if she doesn’t have a formal role her voice counts for something. I’m not saying she should lead the charge against fascism, but the least she could do is not say dumb shit.

      I didn’t say it was fine, it’s just orders of magnitude less consequential when it’s not being done by people in the highest levels of our federal government.
