The man whose 2009 rant over mortgage bailouts – “President Obama, are you listening?!” – unwittingly started the Tea Party movement is back and going off on selective COVID lockdowns.
In an appearance Friday morning, financial reporter Rick Santelli took issue with lockdowns at small businesses that don’t apply to big-box stores.
On a panel on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” a flash of anger erupted between Santelli and co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin. Santelli questioned how people can’t get COVID at a Lowes or Home Depot, but are miraculously put in more danger by going to smaller stores or restaurants while taking the same precautions.
This is how it went.
