I’m going to keep pushing.’ Anthony Fauci tries to make the White House listen to facts of the pandemic

months earlier would have been September. The next time they sit down with him and talk about what he’s going to say, they will say, “By the way, Mr. President, be careful about this and don’t say that.” But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.

Q: You have not said China virus. (Trump frequently calls the cause of the spreading illness known as coronavirus disease 2019 a “China virus” or a “Chinese virus.”)

A: Ever.

Q: And you never will, will you?

A: No.

[mulligan]

Hope you talk your way out a job you could not handle.

[lepton]

Calling it “the Chinese virus” is political.
Calling it the China coronavirus is imprecise, but valid.
Calling it the Wuhan Coronavirus is fully in keeping with norms - the Chinese just don’t want any reference to anything they are responsible for mentioned.

[backwoods-engineer]

“Science” magazine does not understand geopolitics, nor do they know how to deal with a communist regime, because most of them probably love communism. “Chinese virus” is Trump calling out the commies, like a gunslinging cowboy of the Old West calling out the bad guy. The Lefty tut-tutters will NEVER understand this or agree with it.

Where ever Hillary Clinton says it did. Probably Donald Trump.

[Robert DeLong]

He needs to offer his resignation. Because of his leadership the CDC was totally unprepared for this or any other new virus to come down the pike. His agency dallied on producing a working test kit and then he dallied on getting a mass production in place.

Consider the source....

[winoneforthegipper]

Slam? More like leave me alone.

[sauropod]

Fauci has already been proven a liar.

No credibility with me.

[mmichaels1970]

The interview in itself was uncalled for.

Yes. This needs to stop and stop now. Everybody wants to say we're in "wartime". How would it look during a war if a colonel went out and did interviews about the general who is guiding the attack? About what goes on and how the general behaves in the war room?

The colonel needs to advise the general to the best of his ability, allow the general to draw his own conclusion, and then STFU and follow orders.

[wardaddy]

The reviews on Fouci seem to be dependent on the politics of who’s writing the article or who they work for

I don’t trust him....

[winoneforthegipper]

Its an interview. If false then it must be strongly challenged.

[winoneforthegipper]

Very true analogy.

[Howie66]

It’s important to keep in mind that Dr. Fauci IS a Hillary Clinton devotee.

That really says all one needs to know.

[sport]

His love letter to Hillary Clinton should be a clue.

[dfwgator]

Must be an REO Speedwagon fan.

[PerConPat]

There are many brilliant, less politically connected than Fauci, scientists that would do nicely on Trump's COVID 19 team.

...President Barack Obama announced his intent to appoint the following individual[s] to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues: Christine Grady [Fauci's wife], Member, Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues

I would not fire Fauci, but he should be moved quietly to the side if he cannot realize that being a team player doesn't mean he has to compromise his scientific views. He needs to carefully weigh the impact of his statements.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I saw Fauci put one hand over his mouth when the president said “Deep State Department.”

He was laughing and tried to cover his broad smile.

[spacejunkie2001]

notice how he takes credit for trump getting anything right, as opposed to stating trump is right on some things?

Fauci’s dirty, IMO

[MayflowerMadam]

“Levin had him on his show last night.”

We watched it. Fauci was a prick.

[tina07]

On Mark Levin’s show..watched it last night.
