MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace wants the world to know she’s “a Fauci groupie.” She describes herself as a virtuous devotee: “I’m thrice-vaccinated, mask adherent. I buy KN95 masks by the, you know, caseload. They’re in every pocket. I wear them everywhere except when I sit down.”
Wallace is not the only one to express adoration for a politician or Dr. Fauci. Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, once expressed her wish that President Obama be granted unlimited dictatorial powers. Abuse of power mounts as politicians and bureaucrats amass devotees; the liberal principles that built Western civilization slide away.
