Screenshot via Florida Channel Welcome to part 2 of the Worst People of the Worst Year Ever (who aren’t named Trump). In Part 1, we lifted our leg on the seditionists who undermined democracy and the authoritarians who made a mockery of the constitution. To cap off our rogues’ gallery, this installment raises a glass (of antifreeze) to the criminally negligent COVID-deniers and a potpourri of other shitheads we’d just as soon drop off the face of the earth.
Group 3. Deniers
DR. SCOTT ATLAS. Few people provided pseudo-scientific cover for Donald Trump’s sociopathic indifference to the pandemic like Atlas, a radiologist who fell into Trump’s orbit via (what else) appearances on Fox News and eventually became his special COVID adviser by telling Trump what he wanted to hear herd immunity, open everything, masks don’t work, etc. Atlas had no training in infectious disease

Courage is hard to come by in todayâs Republican Party.
Cowed by a lame duck president determined to cast doubt on the election that will remove him from office, many members of his party have entertained wild conspiracy theories and signed on to dubious legal actions aimed at robbing millions of their votes.
There are exceptions. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger resisted direct pressure from President Trump to subvert the will of voters there.
Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, summoned to the White House last month and lobbied to reject the certification of Joe Bidenâs victory, did their duty this week as Bidenâs electors confirmed the decision of that stateâs voters.

Replay Video UP NEXT President-elect Joe Biden achieved formal victory over President Trump on Monday, winning his 306 votes in the electoral college and advancing one more step toward inauguration even as die-hard Trump supporters redoubled their efforts to stop the normal transfer of power. Electors gathered in every state and the District of Columbia for a day-long series of votes that delivered no surprises for either Trump or Biden. The proceedings harked back to more typical presidential elections and stood in contrast with the unprecedented though fruitless six weeks of legal and procedural chaos triggered by Trump’s refusal to accept his loss.
As electoral college formalizes Biden’s win, Trump backers hold their own vote Haisten Willis, Jeremy Duda, Kathleen Masterson, David Fahrenthold ATLANTA Republicans in six states won by President-elect Joe Biden held their own electoral college-style votes Monday for President Trump hoping that future court decisions would throw out Biden s votes and count the GOP ones instead. These votes have no legal meaning, according to election law experts. The law only recognizes votes from electors chosen according to state law which, in every one of these states, is the Democratic electors. But many Republicans who had been chosen to cast electoral votes for Trump still gathered to cast them. They said they were employing a tactic used by Democrats in Hawaii in an election 60 years ago casting votes that don’t count, in the hopes that a later court decision would give them force.
