Oklahoma House Speaker John Bennett, who is running for Congress, said he wants to put Dr. Anthony Fauch in front of a firing squad – and people applauded and praised him at the campaign event.
“We are against the Communist Democrats, the establishment of RINO!” Bennett posted a video posted by Right Wing Watch online Tuesday that has now gone viral.
“We are fighting a system that stole the 2020 elections and no one is responsible,” Bennett said, referring to former President Donald Trump’s baseless election fraud. “We’re at war with bureaucrats who are forcing us to take out warrants on vaccines by giving us masks.”
Bennett then criticized what he called “confusion of sobriety”, which he said “now it has to do with our throats.”
Then came his bad line about Fauche, who was repeatedly targeted for his public health work during a corovirus pandemic.
“By the way, we should try Anthony Fauch and put him before the firing squad,” Bennett said, but did not specify what crime Fauci thought he had committed.
He added: “And for the secret services, if they’re listening, I’m not in favor of killing Anthony Fauch … until he’s tried for his crimes in court.”
“We need to test Anthony Fuchs and put him in front of a firing squad,” said John Bennett, president of the Republican Party of Oklahoma and current GOP congressional candidate. pic.twitter.com/We2c13LYsk

Fauch, as a senior U.S. health official, spoke out against the conservative criticism, vitriol and violent threats he received during the pandemic for his public health advice.
He called for the release of Fox News’ Jesse Waters after a TV presenter in December called on young conservatives to “ambush him” and “get down to killing.”
“The only thing I’ve done in these two years is encourage people to use good public health practices: get vaccinated, be careful in public places, wear a mask,” Fauch said.
