Clay Travis says ‘tide is turning’ following reaction to Bari Weiss declaration she’s ‘done with COVID’

‘We haven’t gotten back to normal. And it’s ridiculous at this point,’ the former New York Times columnist said

Outkick founder Clay Travis credited former New York Times writer Bari Weiss with a tide-turning moment in the now two-year-long coronavirus pandemic after declaring she’s “done with COVID” and the lockdowns that have come with it.

Progressive leaders have continued to enforce strict measures and vaccine mandates in the pandemic, most recently in response to the spread of the omicron variant. Weiss called it a “catastrophic moral crime” and a “pandemic of bureaucracy.”

“We were told you get the vaccine, you get the vaccine and you get back to normal,” she said. “And we haven’t gotten back to normal. And it’s ridiculous at this point,” Weiss said during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“I know that so many of my liberal and progressive friends are with me on this and they do not want to say it out loud because they are scared to be called anti-vaxxed or to be called science denial or to be smeared as a Trumper,” she continued.

Her remarks received a raucous round of applause by Maher’s audience, which Travis said proved the “tides are turning” in the pandemic.

“The most impressive thing about Bari Weiss on last night’s Bill Maher is the wild applause after she finishes here,” Travis tweeted. “After two years the tides are turning, even for the left leaning people in this country when it comes to covid.”

Several conservative figures and lawmakers agreed with Weiss.
