WH Attacks Fauci For Refuting Trump’s False COVID-19 Claims As Election Looms | Talking Points Memo

The White House continued its efforts to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of its own coronavirus task force, as the nation’s top infectious disease expert has become notably more outspoken about the Trump administration’s missteps in its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic just days before Election Day.

Fauci “has no confidence in the American people to make the best choice for themselves armed with CDC best practices.”

I’m with Tony.

I think irony died today as Trump complains vehemently that Fauci has violated all norms and traditions. It led a good, long life, but was utterly exhausted during these past four years. Fear not, because chances are good that it will be resurrected for the next few days.

One guy honors his Oath (Hippocratic) to protect his patient base, the entirety of the American populace, while the other guy continues to disregard his Oath (Constitutional) to protect the American people.

The difference could not be starker.

You know but you are afraid?
We know you know so why stay silent?

“…Trump’s False COVID-19 Claims…”

TPM keeps misspelling “Lies”.

(Maybe they oughta get a spellchecker or something.)

I know Dr. Fauci has protection, but I fear for him, especially after what occurred in Texas yesterday. Crazy times when a mild-mannered physician leader of an NIH branch agency actually needs bodyguards.

Fauci speaks the truth about the pandemic. He is all out of f*cks and lays it out in stark detail at considerable risk to himself. Trump and Atlas are liars who do not care about how many have already died or are suffering long term consequences of Covid. Nor do they care about anyone who suffers with or dies from Covid. They are heartless monsters.

Agreed, but that said, it bothers me that neither he or Birx have fully endorsed Biden.

I know why Giroir, Adams and Redfield won’t (they’re ‘barnicles’), but if either was serious about now, then they need to endorse Biden.

It won’t matter after the 3rd, but if Trump strangely gets over, the first thing on Atlas n Trump’s Xmas list, will be to clean house at NIH.

Good for Fauci for speaking truth to power…of course the Trump minions attacked him, having the truth out there hurts them. And, that truth is sobering…it’s going to continue to get worse after Tuesday, and there’s no sign that it’s going to slow down as it’s infecting the red states that refuse to take any steps to protect people. Watching the Republicans continue to tell people that it’s fine to do what they want, instead of take steps to prevent the spread of the virus, is enraging, and shows just how unfit they are to govern.

The only reason we don’t look like Australia (who have zero cases now) is because of Republican politicians turning a health crisis into a political weapon against the Democrats. History will clearly state how awful they are…let’s hope that the American people do as well this week.

Trump and all the cruel, stupid, whiny ass infants who work for him need to be removed from office and prevented from taking any position of power anywhere. Ever.

Irony isn’t dead but just lying face down and on a ventilator.

Give it some remdesivir and some dexamethasone. That’ll perk it right up. Or so a deranged President tells me.
