Brian Kilmeade, of the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox Radio, told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson Show that he doesn’t support comparisons of Dr. Anthony Fauci to Nazis.

His FOX News colleague, Lara Logan, said people tell her that Fauci is like Josef Mengele, a doctor who performed experiments on Jewish prisoners during WWII.

“Anytime you bring up Hitler and the Nazis is never appropriate,” Kilmeade told Brandi Kruse, filling in for Dori. “But what we are seeing, for the most part, when you approach these lockdowns, shutdowns, bans, and mandates, people have to not just listen to the doctors. There’s gotta be an economist and a psychologist.”

Kilmeade said, plain and simple, Fauci has a bad track record and people don’t trust him.

“When you have Anthony Fauci come out on Sunday and say if you criticize me, you don’t like science,” Logan said. “That’s like if you don’t agree with me, you don’t like talk show hosts.”

Listen to the Dori Monson Show weekday afternoons from noon – 3 p.m. on KIRO Radio, 97.3 FM. Subscribe to the podcast here.
