Covid Denier Video Request

Near the beginning of the pandemic in the United States, around March of 2020, I remember seeing a fascinating video on YouTube that I would like to find again. There was some sort of gathering, possibly a Trump rally, in which a reporter interviewed a middle-aged woman who expressed absolute certainty that the coronavirus was a complete hoax. She said that the Democrats just made up the coronavirus and that she never believes anything any Democrats say. The reporter told her that there were several non-partisan lawmakers who have acknowledged the existence of the coronavirus. Then the woman asked if those non-partisan lawmakers were Democrats.

I've recently tried to find this video again on YouTube but was unsuccessful. If what I described sounds familiar, perhaps you can help me locate it? If you saw the same video and remember a few more details, that may be helpful in my quest to locate it. Any help would be appreciated.

I looked through all of mine and found many were removed... and none left that matched your description. (Youtube removed a LOT that had false info)

Is there a reason you need that particular one? Was she the only person interviewed? Was the interviewer from MSM, RW. LW? LOSER45 had been drumming it into their heards since February, when the first case turned up. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/28/trump-south-carolina-rally-coronavirus-118269

Two reasons. For one, I want to see it again. Also, I want to share it here and read other members' comments.

I haven't seen it since early 2020, so I don't remember if more than one person was interviewed. That one woman was so stupid yet so smug!

I wish I could remember more details, but what I posted was all that I could remember. I'm hoping that someone else might also remember seeing it who can fill in more details and help find it.

Here's a fun one, Jordan Klepper checking out the anti-vaxx scene in Southern California ...

Thank you, but the video I'm searching for was from before the vaccines existed.

Yeah, I know it's not the one you're looking for, I just thought it was funny/sad that people think like this.

I don't remember that specifically, but it sounds like something Jordan Klepper would've done. You might want to search his videos.

Hey Perl, I just searched for covid denier on youtube in case something stood out and got lots of hits and flashbacks to the worst part of the pandemic. Ugh. But there’s lots of examples you may have to wade through. Good luck! Sorry not more help but that’s unfortunately pretty common.

Hey Perl - found how to search in a date range:

To get search results before a given date, add “before:YYYY-MM-DD” to your search query. For example, searching “the best donuts in Boston before:2008-01-01” will yield content from 2007 and earlier. To get results after a given date, add “after:YYYY-MM-DD” at the end of your search.

I’d bet if you combine them you will get search results between the dates.

I'll try that. Thank you.

I've searched for videos with the terms "covid" and "denial", then "covid" and "skeptic", then "covid" and "protest". The third option had so many results, I just couldn't check all of them. I do know that the video I remember took place in the United States, so any covid-related protests from any other part of the word would not be the video for which I've been searching.

I wish I could remember the state in which this particular gathering occurred. That would help narrow it down.

Being as the interviewer allowed a complete moron to make a fool of herself, I'm thinking it was likely to be from a docu-comedy source, such as "The Daily Show". ("Likely" does not mean "definitely", so I wouldn't rule out straight news sources.)
