Politics‘I Screwed Up’: Longtime CNN Personality Admits He Was Badly Wrong About Fauci
TrendingPolitics ^ | 01/28/2025 | Chris Powell

Posted on 01/28/2025 4:48:52 PM PST by vespa300

Chris Cillizza, a former CNN editor-at-large, recently admitted he made significant mistakes in how he assessed Anthony Fauci’s credibility during the pandemic. In a series of tweets, Cillizza acknowledged he was wrong to dismiss conservative voices — including President Donald Trump — who questioned Fauci’s narrative.

In his reflection, Cillizza confessed that his biases against Trump and his trust in Fauci’s expertise led him to overlook alternative perspectives, particularly on the origins of COVID-19. “If this was a debate between Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci on the origins of a pandemic-level virus, I was going to go with the guy who spent his entire career studying this stuff, not the reality TV-star-turned-president,” Cillizza wrote.

Fauci was always political.

He created the fake AIDS is a danger to everyone propaganda.

This led to teaching homosexual practices in schools and the utter social pathology we have had institutionalized today.

He stayed in his position for decades, longer even than J. Edgar Hoover.

When Cilizza started out years and year ago, he was somewhat fair when compared to others. But he went full dim party, dc deep state media hack. I am not one to give him a pass.

After seeing how much money leftists are losing these days, I’ve decided to change my mind. I was wrong.

Calling Trump’s preparation for being president “a reality TV star” while ignoring his being CEO of a multi billion dollar company is like calling Pete Hegseth, “a Fox News morning host “ while ignoring his education, military experience and the books he wrote.

Both of their experiences in quotes did make these men better at communicating with the public. They are not, however, what make them highly qualified for their current positions.

Wait, didn’t Fauci work for Trump? And he was never fired, he retired when Biden was president. So, this was an attack on Trump.

everyone is political, to assume otherwise is nonsense.

This is the main reason I question man made global warming, because I KNOW those “environmental scientists” are political!!!

Anyone who has ever stepped foot on a college campus knows that the major all the left wing nut jobs take when they are not tying themselves to a tree is ... environmental science!!! They are dumb as doorstops compared to any REAL scientist! It is a JOKE major that does nothing but take field trips to the city dump, read books about planet overcrowding and meet to pick up garbage in a nearby lake or other such nonsense! There is no SCIENCE in an Environmenal Science degree!!!! It is a perversion of the English language to call them scientists! It like when they call garbagemen, waste engineers!

I watched Trump carefully onstage as he watched Fauci and the scarf lady. I think Trump realized pretty early on that his fellow New Yorker, Fauci, is a bullsh”t artist. Trump didn’t have evidence to back going with his gut to fire this highly paid greedy career arrogant double-talking con artist.

I remember trying to date in the early 80’s.
Everyone was scared.
Seems stupid now.

Yes. Exactly.

And the concomitant normalization of homosexuality.

He probably thinks this makes him look noble.

Nope.

Shows his poor judgement, and lapdog mentality.

Good for him. Some people like him and Chris Cuomo are smart to admit they were wrong. I am waiting for the ugly spinsters on the View to admit this.
