WH Launches Oppo Campaign Against Fauci As Trump Continues To Downplay COVID

The White House publicly took aim at its leading health experts on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci, by sending a list of talking points to various news outlets on Sunday that disparaged the doctor over past comments he’d made about the virus that later turned out to be incorrect.

I will believe the one that does NOT tell us about ingesting bleach or “to live with it”!

Covidiot Man-Baby Trump needs to man up and stop deflecting his failure to mitigate Covid!

ICYMI:

Hey Covidiot Trump…Testing is NOT the cause of the rising case count!

Addendum:
Hey Covidiot Trump…
STOP retweeting Woolery’s BIGLY LIES
STOP pulling the wool over our eyes!

Fauci is a bigger man than Trump. Much bigger. Trump is afraid of him.

Ok
BTW Republicans , there is this newfangled thing called digital recording , where you say something stupid and outright lie , it gets saved and you can play it back and even splice all the stupidity together
When you attack someone this way ,as always it backfires and you end up putting the spotlight on you
I wouldn’t go there if I were you, but too late
A poll conducted for The New York Times by Siena College last month showed that 67 percent of Americans trusted Dr. Fauci when it came to the virus; only 26 percent trusted the president.

Has Fauci suggested injecting bleach? Cause if not, I still definitely find him more credible than anyone in the WH.

They’ll be trotting Jared out there as an infectious disease expert by November.

“One of the White House’s examples reportedly included Fauci’s assertion in January that COVID-19 was “not a major threat” and him saying in late February that there was “no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis.”

HOWEVER Dr. Fauci continued by saying ‘“Right now the risk is still low, but this could change. “When you start to see community spread, this could change and force you to become much more attentive to doing things that would protect you from spread.”

Same interview. The White House is just a pile of human excrement desperately spitting out alternative facts and spin at this point. No lie, no omission, no selective edit to make a negative inference is too much.

Trump’s ongoing purge of medical experts has eerie parallels to Stalin’s “doctors’ plot:”

The best part: “You WANTED this to happen – to make the president look bad!”

The continuing refrain of Fox News . . .

And how many times did Dr. Fauci have to suppress factual info due to unrelenting pressure from Fat Nixon to NOT tell the truth?

40% of Americans continue to approve of the guy. 40% of Americans would eat actual dogshit if you sold it to them the right way, as “Jesus Fudge” or a testosterone booster. 40% of Americans are certifiable and/or mentally and/or morally challenged. That’s just sick.
