Bret Weinstein Rated Lean Right in April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review

A group of three AllSides reviewers on the left, center, and right rated Bret Weinstein Lean Right in an April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review.

Reviewers noted he is pro-free speech and anti-COVID vaccine, saying that "the cure was worse than the disease." He also said, "I really appreciate @realDonaldTrump’s willingness to expose the lies we were told about Covid’s origin. But the same people who lied about that, lied to us and to him about the Covid shots—causing a massive wave of injury and death which continues to this day." Weinstein has praised HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's investigation into the cause of autism and considers himself "MAHA."

"The Democratic Party's betrayal of the Republic is far too severe for reform. Any revision would be disingenuous. The Party must be put down like a rabid animal. The fault is as much yours as anyone's. I say that as a Democrat and 2016 Sanders supporter," he said.
