Spencer often rants against conservatives on his [[Twitter]], especially when it comes to [[Covid-19]]. He ridicules them for valuing medical freedom rather than blindly taking and shilling for [[Covid vaccine|the useless, experimental vaccine]], like he does. When Biden swore at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy for asking a simple question on inflation, Spencer responded with, "My president".
