Fauci blasts ‘cowardly’ trolls harassing wife, children
The Hill ^ | 12/09/2022 | CHLOE FOLMAR

Posted on 12/09/2022 9:23:51 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Anthony Fauci in an interview with the BBC blasted the “cowardly” internet trolls who harass his wife and children, saying it’s a part of the backlash he’s experienced over the COVID-19 pandemic.

“These people who troll about, they harass my wife and my children because they can figure out where they live and what their phone number is,” the immunologist told BBC’s “Americast” podcast.

Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the White House, has been the public face of the government’s efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s set to retire from government service at the end of the month.

Fauci said those close to him have regularly been harassed since his appointment in 2020 to fight COVID-19, while the doctor himself is a target of conspiracies and right-wing hate.

“I have good security protection, but I really think it’s so cowardly to harass people who are completely uninvolved, including my children,” he said.

Trolls have periodically released the addresses and phone numbers for Fauci’s wife and children and found other ways to reach them with extremist theories and rhetoric.

No one should be doxxed. Moral people don’t do that. It’s a behavior of hateful people. Democrat types.

Welcome to the party, pal!

The Left has been doing this to Republicans and Conservatives for decades.

I knew that bastard had security protection!!! Now just need to know is/was paying for it. Maybe SS or FBI, doubtful Fauci paid for it himself.

F’ing crybaby coward. I guess when you are complicit to murder on the scale of Fauci, people want you gone. He will need security for the rest of his miserable life. I suggest solitary confinement in the deepest hole possible

If the past is any indication of the future, the R House won’t do squat.

I thought that too. I mean, now that the pieces are falling out of the puzzle, deep state needs a fall guy. And a sympathetic martyr for the woke at the same time. The hypocrisy of him complaining of being doxxed will be lost on the left, as well as in the media. Note how perceived MAGA doxxers are described as trolls, whereas leftist doxxers are labeled activists.

Yep, a Dem doxxed him, possibly a media member, something to focus on besides Hunter laptop. Fauci as the sacrificial lamb, if you will.

Agreed, however, meet fire with fire in this toxic take no prisoners political environment.

"We the sheeple", is not an option.

“Welcome to the party pal. You screwed with our wives and children. GFY...”

You nailed it.

Democrat activists have targeted the families of GOP state legislators as well as Federally-elected officials (including GOP appointees to public positions) and they’ve done so with no apologies. Fauci has known this. How could he not?

And now the shoe is on the other foot and he’s not liking it so much.

His feigned hurt over this is nauseating. Screw him!

The “harassment” he refers to is journalists and political talking heads discussing the truth about what happened with the virus and how it was handled by him/his agency. Tough beans if he doesn’t like it. And no, that is not harassment and his hyperbole is a ploy.

The left tries to pretend that they themselves never, ever harass, dox, or threaten people becaase of their politics or religion, whereas they do it constantly, and often in a very systematic way.

A recent example is the 150+ attacks on pro-life clinics, Catholic churches, and Republican offices by pro-abortion zealots. This wave of intimidation has gone almost unreported in the MSM - the reporting of these incidents stays local and does not lead to denunciations by newspaper or television editorialists and commentators. Their silence is deafening.

As for Fauci, he was quite happy to destroy the careers of thousands of people who didn't want to take his risky and unnecessary vaccines.
