The White House has lashed out at Dr. Anthony Fauci — after the nation’s leading infectious disease expert praised Joe Biden and warned that the US is “in for a whole lot of hurt” from COVID-19 this fall and winter.
White House spokesman Judd Deere called Fauci’s comments “unacceptable and breaking with all norms.”
“Dr. Fauci has a duty to express concerns or push for a change in strategy, but he’s not done that, instead choosing to criticize the President in the media and make his political leanings known by praising the President’s opponent,” Deere said in a statement late Saturday.
“Dr. Fauci knows that the risks today are dramatically lower than they were only a few months ago with mortality rates falling over 80 percent.”
In the lengthy interview with the Washington Post on Friday, Fauci said the country is in for “a whole lot of hurt” this winter.

The 79-year-old director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases also praised Democratic presidential nominee Biden’s campaign for “taking it seriously from a public health perspective”

Gee....thought Fauci wasn’t political.
Fauci wants his buddy Biden to win so he can be in charge, shut down the country which is what he wants
he should NEVER have put this moron in front of a microphone!
Biggest mistake Trump ever made was to make this moron the face of the governments Covid response.
>> praised Democratic presidential nominee Biden’s campaign
Partisan fraud has ENDORSED a campaign.
Biden himself ain’t done sheet and you cannot hold him to any scampaign promises. He himself says vote for the candidate and see what his positions are.
Stick a fork in Fraudouche. He’s done.
I well remember how Obama had to keep numerous Republicans in his administration who frequently spoke out against his policies and felt free to undermine his initiatives.
14 days to flatten the curve. Remember the Faucci???
You’re just a hack job!!!!
you forgot the /S tag
POTUS Trump followed the Science of DEMONcRAT loving Dr. Fauci and now he is being criticized for doing so by Joementia.
He also accused pandemic adviser Scott Atlas of not taking the virus seriously as the number of daily cases nationwide continues to climb, saying he has “real problems” with his fellow White House coronavirus task force members.
“He’s a smart guy who’s talking about things that I believe he doesn’t have any real insight or knowledge or experience in.”
I don’t mind taking the Frankenvirus more seriously, and it will hurt us some this winter, but Fauci still annoys the crikey out of me with his national mask mandate dogma.
Oh well, at least he’s also expressed a sort of reluctance to lock us down again.
Coronavirus PING!
Trump saved hundreds of thousands of lives by not following Fauci’s science by cutting off flights from China.
Exactly. That was the first time he disagreed with the Scientists yet the DEMONcRATS act like he never followed their advice. What a scam. Such Liars.
How do we know that cloth face coverings aren’t contributing to the uptick since there hasn’t been any testing on the effectiveness of the coverings.
Kick his smug little @ss to the curb!
I think I just read that this year’s flu was not doing the damage that the season has brought in the past.
Now, I’m concerned that Fauci is making the virus POLITICAL.
BAD BAD MOVE, FAUCI.
fauci is a celebrity. He enjoys his new fame, and is sure to turn it into fortune. When he’s no longer working for Trump, he’ll be invited to talk shows and get rich advances for books.
I guess Fauci can't formally endorse Biden.
