Fauci 0-19 in support in Luntz’s group. Anything less than half is not good. If he had any credibility he would have gotten support by sime, but he didn’t get even 1 person to support him. This is eye-opening. Fauci isn’t just disliked on FR. It’s everywhere.
My take on Fauci is that his act is like that of a baseball team manager on a long losing streak. To some, he might be glib and even likeable, but eventually everybody wants his @ss fired. People don’t want excuses. We get a steady diet of that from Fauci.
I do hold Trump responsible for Fauci on account of those daily crisis news conferences. Fauci & Birx should have been stomped on when they overstepped by commenting on lockdowns and masks wearing. The Left took note. Fauci should have been quickly sidelined or retired.
