We couldn’t possibly say with greater sincerity that not a single person on this staff knew of or cared about a guy named  Ben Bergquam, who – it appears from new reporting, is a correspondent for Steve Bannon’s “Real America” show.

Like many people throughout the country, Ben has COVID. Unlike most of those other people, Ben is in the hospital, though he isn’t intubated, yet (not saying he will be). But he clearly is having trouble breathing. Ben is also different from others in the hospital with COVID because Ben isn’t saying; “Maybe I should’ve given that vaccine thing a try.”

No, Ben would rather tell you about the real reason he is in the hospital and that’s Joe Biden. From Ben’s “correspondence,” it sounds as though Biden has allowed COVID to wash over the country by not holding China “accountable.” This is a strange argument given that his boy was president for the first 9 months of COVID and we don’t recall Trump “holding China accountable” (and thus halting the spread of the disease). Maybe he believes Democrats have magic powers when it comes to getting the job done. It may seem like magic to some Republicans.

Ben is also upset because he’s wondering, “where is the accountability for BLM and Antifa and all they did, huh?” We keep focusing on January 6th and holding Trump accountable, when did we hold BLM accountable? Ben wants to know.

So we will tell him. “BLM” and “Antifa” didn’t attack anything, these are not official organizations with a president. Moreover, unlike the white rioting marauders, when BLM and Antifa rioted, they were arrested that night. They were not allowed to catch their private Lear and go home and wait five months to be arrested.

But mostly, Ben, what you need to know is that you have a virus that originated in China, either through accidental escape from a lab or a market, both of which should be monitored more. But just like Trump has yet to be held accountable, one has to have proof that the virus came from a lab or unregulated market before you can then put sanctions on China, which the world will do if it was an accidental escape from a lab or illegal research.

None of that will help you out now, Ben, The vaccine, which we presume you didn’t take because you’re a good MAGA, is what you needed, and president Biden has been pushing for that the entire time.
