Washington Examiner ^ | March 15, 2020 | Madison Dibble

The nation's leading infectious diseases expert shut down a line of questioning by a CNN anchor who asked why he touched the same podium and microphone as President Trump.

"The picture you showed about the microphone, let’s get real here. There are certain things that you have to do. If I left the microphone like that, you would see nothing but the microphone," Fauci said. "My putting my two fingers to get the microphone down isn’t that bad, so I don’t think we should make something of that."

Another liberal scold who probably spent an hour in the make up room getting her face on.

I asked the same question. Why did he touch the same microphone and hold on to the same podium without wiping it down. Is it therefore, not necessary for me to wipe down the gym machine I use for one minute?

Trump’s cabinet members have to learn to say, “F$ck You”, when the situation warrants. Last time I heard anything close was when April Ryan asked Sarah Sanders, “will the president step down now?”. Sanders replied that it was a stupid question and moved on.

If he did not touch his face afterwards before washing he should be fine.

I rarely watch CNN, and when I do I am simply in the mood to verbally abuse the anchors/guests. I have no idea who this woman is sitting in for Tapper, but she is absolutely ignorant and biased. She should be embarrassed at her lack of commonsense and stupidity. I think everyone knows the type of person she is. When she was growing up, she was the awkward, ugly, liberal kid on the student newspaper that was going to change the world. She was constantly ridiculed by her classmates. Since she was too stupid to get the message and change to a more normal person, she doubled down, vowing to show everyone she was right. Now, she appears as a stand-in for an asinine blowhard on the lowest rated cable news network, so low, Animal Planet and Hallmark channels get better ratings. Such a success.

He could have asked her if she touched her face before the show.

That statement should be repeated, very often.

He was supposed to keep a safe distance (60 feet) from that silly woman.

During this “crisis”,the the scum rises to the top. It is not productive to hate but I hate the media and the left. That will never change. To see forces in society that are pushing hysteria and wish harm to America,the President and MAGA Americans is sickening.

Just imagine what would be written if he had wiped things down as he used them and touched the microphone only through a tissue, or wore gloves!

There is probably more psychology involved here, than science.

The proper response would’ve been, “asphinctersayswhat”?

Do a image search to see how many people lick a microphone.
Weird.

A thought: with CNN having driven this panic and killed airline travel, who will watch their network without travelers stuck in airports being forced to do so?

Think of the media as a pack of hyenas.

You know who the lion is.

Yes I would say you are right. You have statistically a better chance having a car run you over than you have of dying from this flu virus.

But hey! Crawl into a hole just like you did when the Swine Flu virus circulated in 2009 and....what? You didn’t wring your hands and scream at the sky back then? Why not? Would it be because the scum bag media didn’t panic you with their gloom and dooming?
