Also, I just looked into the thing about Fauci demanding a Fox News host be fired on the spot: it was less because he said people should ask Fauci questions, and more the way he phrased it: “Now you go in with the kill shot - deadly. Because, with an ambush, he doesn’t see it coming" and saying that this would lead to Fauci being "dead."
On the one hand, in context, it's pretty obviously a metaphor and not literally calling for violence. On the other hand, he's using this extended metaphor in one of the most volatile times in American history, among an audience that's already primed to hate Fauci, and, since that speech happened at a Turning Point USA event, this little Q&A from one of their other recent events is relevant.
And before you dismiss that as just cherry-picking and irrelevant, well, the thing is, as Mike Figuredo points out, the rhetoric of the far right is so extreme (and also factually wrong) that violence against people like Fauci is its logical conclusion.
And these are the people Jesse Waters was speaking to. Hell, he's working for Fox News, which played a pivotal role in convincing many that Biden's election win in 2020 was illegitimate, and literally all the points that guy in the video was citing as reasons to "use the guns" are being validated by Fox News.
