In their desperation to get back to work, some Americans are taking to the streets to demand that the government end the quarantine. Comedian Patton Oswalt is unsympathetic.
“Anne Frank spent 2 years hiding in an attic and we’ve been home for just over a month with Netflix, food delivery & video games and there are people risking viral death by storming state capital buildings & screaming, ‘Open Fuddruckers!'” he tweeted on Saturday.
This is hardly Oswalt’s first display of smug liberal condescension: His tweet denouncing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann as a “leering, privileged little shit” was one of the most vile celebrity attacks on the wrongly maligned teenager.
