ICYMI: Jesse Jensen Pushes Dangerous COVID Misinformation

Jesse Jensen was caught spreading dangerous misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine and Washington State Board of Health last week - fueling protests that threatened public health officials and hindered their ability to do their jobs as omicron cases continue to climb across the state.

Jensen went as far as to compare health officials to the "Gestapo" in Nazi Germany after falling for the false and disturbing rumor that people would be "round up" if they refused the COVID-19 vaccine.

As the chairman of the Board of Health put it: "It's created confusion. It's created anger. It's created fear. And it is wasting a huge amount of government resources, time and money. These people who put out this misinformation seem to relish in the chaos that they're creating."

"Health officials across Washington state are working around the clock to keep people safe, and the last thing they need is Jesse Jensen exploiting misinformation to create outrage and hinder their ability to do their jobs. While Jensen spends his time pushing false conspiracy theories, Congresswoman Schrier is busy advocating for the health and safety of Washington families and pushing to keep children in the classroom."
