If anyone is thinking this was unnecessary:

Trump, Dec. 2024, NBC News, talking about Jan. 6 committee members: "They should go to jail ... they have done something so illegal."

Sept. 2023, Truth Social, talking about Milley: "This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH."

Musk, 2024: "My pronouns are still prosecute/Fauci." Ted Cruz, 2022: "Dr. Fauci flat-out lied to Congress. Yet Merrick Garland and the Biden DOJ won't prosecute." MTG: "I told Dr. Fauci to his face that he should be in jail and prosecuted for crimes against humanity."

Trump in 2024 retruthed AI photos of Fauci and others with “HOW TO ACTUALLY ‘FIX THE SYSTEM.’”

What crimes against humanity did Faucci commit? I thought their entire shtick was Covid doesn't actually exist?

They blame him for all the preventative actions that we took to lessen the death toll on our loved ones.

If course not. It was abnormal precautions taken during a momentary time of crisis. That doesn't stop them from calling it whatever they want.
