As Texas's Lt. Governor rants about Dr. Fauci, Fox News plays montage of minorities in face masks

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is prominent among Republicans who have politicized the wearing face masks to prevent the transmission of coronavirus during the Covid-19 pandemic. He hates it almost as much as he hates Coronavirus Task Force lead Dr. Anthony Fauci, who he assailed on Fox News yesterday: Fauci "doesn't know what he's talking about", Patrick said. So its viewers would get the broader point, Fox News played a montage of people wearing surgical masks as Patrick ranted on. But for one blurred-out face in the background of a shot of a sign asking people to wear masks, all the people in the montage are black or very dark-skinned.
