Libs want forgiveness for pandemic policies. Conservatives say ‘no way.’
According to a report from The Daily Wire, conservatives on Twitter erupted over an Atlantic op-ed by Brown University Professor Emily Oster’s calling for “a pandemic amnesty.”
“We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge,” Oster writes.
But conservatives aren’t letting Fauci and his cohorts walk away from the damage they have done to the country.
“And let Fauci off the hook? No way,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

“I started the pandemic giving the experts the benefit of the doubt,” Erick Erickson tweeted. “I embraced the vaccine (not all the boosters). There doesn’t need to be amnesty, but accountability for what experts over time got wrong and dogmatically used the press to censor dissent.”

“Absolutely no Amnesty,” Dave Rubin tweeted. “Some of us did not lose our minds, did not force vaccines or lockdowns, and instead fought for freedom the entire time.”
“It’s one thing to have gotten some things wrong over the past few years, it’s another to have led the charge to destroy human freedom,” he added.
