[They] made Fauci the 'face' of Covid, for just such an occasion. There was just too much evidence and too many people knew the truth.
They cut him loose. He is easily expendable and the perfect scapegoat.
Meanwhile, the real culprits (derp state/dems/heathen Chinee) live to fight another day, while we do Fauci like the final scene in 'Day of the Locusts'.
It's how [they] do (not that he don't deserve it).
Does Trump's 'Fauci strategy' make more sense now?
