Actor James Woods Slams CDC Speech Police: ‘You Nitwits Don’t Have Better Things to Do in the Middle of a Pandemic??!!’

Actor James Woods rebuked the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for telling Americans what they should, and shouldn’t say, instead of focusing its attention on the coronavirus pandemic.

In a tweet on Friday, the CDC asked Americans “Are you using #inclusive language” and directed them to a CDC.gov webpage titled, “Preferred Terms for Select Population Groups & Communities.”

“You nitwits don’t have better things to do in the middle of a PANDEMIC??!!” actor James Woods replied.

The CDC webpage lists words and expressions that it says should not be spoken and provides suggested replacements that “represent an ongoing shift toward non-stigmatizing language.”

I rarely hear anyone speak of CDC in admirable terms. They may want to consider that, “Nitwits” is as good as it gets in the real world.

The Center for Disease Control was founded as agency to combat infectious disease pestilence. However once the Marxists and their commissars took control, the agency rediined the concept of “disease” and its causes. Clearly anyone who does not share their bizarre socialist, globalist, mindset or voted for Trump is “diseased”. Writing regulations that seize private property by preventing evictions, controlling language and regulating heretofore normal and custumary human behavior all in the name of controlling “disease” is now the function of the CDC.

Does the term "COMPLETE IDIOTS" “represent an ongoing shift toward non-stigmatizing language.”

If so, I will continue to use it when referring to the CDC, although I'm considering switching to "Buffoons with Napoleonic complexes".

It’s because the cdc is a propaganda arm of the democrat party, much like the media. There is no pandemic and they know it.

They also came up with the term “birthing people” to use instead of “mothers.”
