Dr. Fauci Destroys Journalist for Asking if He's 'Doing This Voluntarily' and for Accusing Trump of Not Listening to Health Experts
PJ Media ^ | 04/14/2020 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 04/14/2020 7:09:08 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

On CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Dr. Fauci made comments that were wildly distorted by the media. “You could logically say that if you had a process that was ongoing and you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives," he said. “Obviously, no one is going to deny that. But what goes into those kinds of decisions is complicated. But you’re right. Obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down.”

During the Coronavirus Task Force briefing on Monday, Dr. Fauci sought to clarify those comments, and make it clear that despite the way the media was spinning it, the first time he and Dr. Birx recommended "shutting down" the country to mitigate the spread of the virus Trump listened.

Bottom line:
Dr. Fauci confirmed that President Trump took the advice of health experts every time. Even Dr. Fauci has had enough of the biased media.

These are not “journalists”.

They are complicit propagandists .

Yep.
Just takes time for some to come to the realization that The President is an American. Working in the best interest of All Americans.

Paula Reid is a disgrace, but when you are running the lowest rated news outlet like CBS, you get the dregs.

That was like a whole different Dr. Tony out there yesterday.

To steal a phrase from Cool Hand Luke, somebody got his mind right.

Do you believe that ever would have happened were it not for Trump’s #FireFauci retweet? I don’t.

I wasn’t as upset as others here over Fauci’s original statement. It was in response to a loaded question. Of course we would have been safer if the whole country closed shop earlier. That’s like saying that if you sleep standing up, you don’t have to make the bed (as Ma used to tell me.) But now Fauci has come to know that either he’s a tool of the MSM or he’s their enemy.

I agree. Retweet was brilliant. Small hashtag to stir up comments on social media, but plausible deniability.

Stable genius.

After the exchange of last night, I don't know why President Trump would EVER do another briefing to the press, or even take questions while he's boarding Marine One. It's clear the Press is hostile to both the President and the American people. In fact, some of what I heard last night was sedition-- encouraging blocks of states to form unconstitutional pacts against the Federal government.

Civil war is coming.

Also, after last night, I will NEVER watch another Trump press briefing ever again. Not because of our President-- because of the witches in the Press.

“They are complicit propagandists .”

EXACTLY. The best in human history with electronic connectivity never before seen. They’re fast. The images are very fast. Even if you are unclouded and super fast, they’re faster and you have NO PLATFORM to challenge any programming that they put forth.

That raises the issue.

Are anti Fauci Freepers non journalists or actually propagandists?

But the most stunning moment came when CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid asked him, “Are you doing this voluntarily?”

It was clear that Trump was stealing the carefully crafted narrative from them (again), and she was trying to wing it with a new one. She wasn’t up to the challenge.

“Civil war is coming.”

It’s here, CW2. It’s every day. It’s asymmetric.

Fauci should have replied:

"Did Mark Zucker tell you to ask that question or are you naturally this rude?"

She's not going to make it as a "reporter".

The greatest impediment to progress on every front vital to the interests of the American people, is the blind hatred of the mass media, endlessly directed at our President!

We need to address the fruits of their perfidy.

I think you’re right, it is here, but only as a cold civil war. There are not people being shot and killed, there are not political or media assassinations yet. Those are coming.

I had never heard of her (all these reporters think they’re such celebs), but she was really out of control yesterday.
Maybe missed a dose of her meds.

Stormy Daniels garners more respect than Paula Reid. At lease Stormy was honest about her profession.
