Daily Beast’s Banco: Dr. Scott Atlas Is Telling People to ‘Take Back’ Thanksgiving

RUSH EXCERPT:

BANCO: “That’s right. We’ve heard a lot of different kinds of stories about Scott Atlas over the past seven months, but officials we spoke to at “The daily beast” are the most concerned about atlas’s recent rhetoric involving stay-at-home orders, lockdowns, mask mandates. He made a comment on Twitter earlier in the week in which he called for people to rise up against governor Whitmer’s new restrictions on Covid-19 for the next, you know, week or two. So what officials say is that, you know, they may have been frustrated with atlas in the past, some remarks he has made on TV, but they are now really concerned that the rhetoric that’s out there not only from atlas but other top White House officials is dangerous and it is putting American lives at risk. They’re essentially advocating that people take back Thanksgiving, right, that they continue to gather in whatever groups they want to, that they don’t wear masks, and the whole idea is that, you know, it is a liberty. Americans can choose what they want to do for Thanksgiving, but now top health officials, including those working on the Coronavirus task force, say he’s directly threatening American lives.”
