So, the people who already have monkeypox won’t be in the camps, is that what she meant? Wait, what “she”? AFAICT, the quoted remarks were made not by noted shitstain Kari Lake, the Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, but by noted shitstain Ethan Schmidt-Crockett, a Republican supporter of Kari Lake and antivax/anti-LGBTQ “activist” who AFAICT is not a political candidate. Mind you, I yield to no-one in my disdain for Lake’s own right-wing shitstainery, but she needs to be disdained for the stuff she’s said herself, not for stuff her nutbag supporters say. ---

That’s the rainbow of Satan.” The store left the flag up. Oh, _this_ fuckhead. I remember him. ---
