Feces Disturbing AP News Labels Fauci Comments as Trump Trigger
2020-04-13
WASHINGTON (AP) — Social restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus could have saved lives if they’d been started earlier, and when they’re eased new cases are certain to arise, said the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, seeming to draw the ire of President Donald Trump.

Trump, who has been chafing at criticism that he didn’t do enough early on to fight the virus, reposted a tweet that referenced Fauci’s comments and that said "Time to #FireFauci." The Republican president again pointed to his decision in late January to restrict travel from China, writing, "Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up."

Fauci said Sunday that the economy in parts of the country could have a "rolling reentry" as early as next month, provided health authorities can quickly identify and isolate people who will inevitably be infected. Fauci also said he "can’t guarantee" that it will be safe for Americans to vote in person on Election Day, Nov. 3.

#7  "can’t guarantee" that it will be safe for Americans to vote

Some of us conclude Fauci is an over-tired bureaucrat, but some will decide they need to be more afraid. [shakes head]

#5  "Fauci also said he "can’t guarantee" that it will be safe for Americans to vote in person on Election Day, Nov. 3." Petty, small minded, butt covering bureaucratic ass that this fool is, of course he would say this. We "can't guarantee" the universe will still exist in the next second. Dump him (or neuter him painfully) please.

#4  They're in Fifth Column territory now.

At some point OrangeMan needs to channel his inner Lincoln - not the better angels of our nature, 2nd Inaugural Lincoln but the wartime one. These people have become a public menace and a major security risk to the nation.

#3  Not sure why Pres. Trump even takes questions from that a$$ clown Jim Acosta.

#2  Discrete, individual warnings and selective enforcement. No additional warnings for Jim Acosta however.
