Dec 6, 20215:47Now PlayingCOVID-19 death rates in the U.S. are ticking upward, with 1,100 Americans dying daily as the Omicron variant begins to spread.
GOP politicians say the news is nothing more than "fear-mongering." "D.C. Today" fill-in host Kelly Wright is joined by Democrat Avis Jones Deweever, African American Chamber of Commerce chair Timothy Alan Simon and BNC correspondent Bofta Yimam to talk COVID in politics. The panel discusses a number of topics, including Senator Ron Johnson, who has been critical about Dr. Anthony Fauci's response to COVD-19 and recently commemorated World AIDS Day by saying the leading health researcher "overhyped the threat of AIDS during the 1980s."
