President Donald Trump retweeted a post on Sunday night that called for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci’s ouster, publicly indicating his displeasure with the doctor.
DeAnna Lorraine, a GOP challenger to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), had tweeted heavy criticism of Fauci, who plays a key role in the White House’s battle against the COVID-19 outbreak, and suggested that it was “time to #FireFauci.”
Trump retweeted her without directly acknowledging her call for the doctor’s firing.
“Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape,” he wrote. “I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you @OANN”

Fauci has often had to do damage control in the media whenever Trump downplays the severity of COVID-19 or otherwise distorts the facts of the outbreak, publicly putting the two men’s stances on the virus at odds.
As a result, conservative pro-Trump figures have railed against Fauci, who now requires extra security detail after receiving threats.
Though Trump has not publicly expressed any anger toward Fauci up until Sunday night, he reportedly began privately growing resentful of the doctor in March.
Nothing says mentally deranged sociopath more than this tweet and Rump’s retweet of it.
Well, its been nice to know you Dr. Fauci, can’t wait to hear what you really want to say…
Elsewhere, a new phase begins…
Key takeaway, state in question is South Dakota…
Added: The plant is responsible for ~5% of domestic pork production…
Perhaps it’s time for Dr. Fauci to become Joe Biden’s point person on COVID-19. Without Fauci, Dump is lost, but we could still benefit from Fauci’s wisdom and experience.
I just hate the “banned China” argument Trump and his supporters make, as though he cut off the U.S. from China early on and it made all the difference. It is wildly simplistic and untrue.
40,000 people from China, many of them American, came to numerous cities in the U.S. after Trump’s alleged ban–as though only Chinese people could carry the virus. And what kind of scrutiny did the 40,000 get when they arrived? Temperature checks? Quarantine? Nothing, so far as I can tell.
And by then the virus was also circling the globe. Most of New York’s cases evidently came through Europe.
Touting Trump’s “too little, too late” ban on Chinese nationals coming directly from China is insane.
Do it dumb fuck and feel the hate.
Not even Fox will be able to protect you.
