The Occams Razor answer is he defied Pence’s order not to appear on CNN.
I read that Pence reversed that decision.
I would say about 60% chance he was complicit in the statement and 40% that he was “tricked” or manipulated into saying it. The entire statement was not nearly as bad as that sound bite. But that is the way the gotcha game is played. You live by the sound bite or die by it. Trump has dodged it over and over, but he is a pro.
Trump’s not agreeing with the tweet. Trump is calling it fake news.
Unfortunately the original tweet came from the Republican candidate who is running against Pelosi.
He’s not going to fire Fauci. Only an imbecile would do that, and Trump is no imbecile.
I think it was January 29th not Feb 29th that Fauci made that comment.
It's too late to just shut up. You can't unpost this. We are all coming to your house.
he claims he wanted to close things down earlier than they were and the president pushed back.
he’s a fraud
Can we also get rid of the table cloth wearing woman?
Mexican and Chinese restaurants in America want her to stop stealing.
Put an N95 mask and gown on the sow.
That is exactly what the main stream media and President Trump haters said. It will be bad if for Trump if he fired Comey, sessions, etc. Fire Fauci NOW. That little back stabber
"On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2"

Not defending Fauci, but the article title is misleading. That’s not exactly what he said. He said a lot more. The media is trying its level best to cause Trump to “fire” Fauci...Trump’s too smart.
It’s perfect for the media. There’s no right answer. We didn’t have good data and China/W.H.O. lied.
PDJT acted in January, so he was certainly taking it seriously, anyone saying otherwise is full of it. We’ve gone from estimations of millions down to 10’s of thousands and these people want to play Monday morning quarterback over +/- a couple of weeks on the shut-down - when we didn’t have the data!
We’ve seen the worst of the virus. Now this POTUS needs to figure out how to get this economy going again. This one-two punch has been handled extremely well so far, I’m glad PDJT is leading. I can’t imagine if it were Hillary/Obama/Biden/etc..
That is how I took it. People are out to stir up trouble. Both Fauci and Trump have told the press to knock it off.
Oh, wait. We are Republicans, we do not do sh!t.
Nothing will happen. Like ALWAYS.
Jan 21, Jan 29, Feb 3, Feb 17.....Fauci said don’t worry...chances are miniscule. I posted the links yesterday.
Fire the deep state Fauci and his _father_ Bill Gates; somehow please. Fire one, fire two; fire those which don’t need prison
