Anthony fauci is on MSNBC being interviewed.

[drray23]

He is gonna get fired by Trump....

[msongs]

1. not if he pleads the fifth....or drinks one lol nt

[RockRaven]

2. I saw somewhere that Fauci was supposed to be on 5 different Sunday shows this weekend

but cancelled his appearances when that gag order was given. I'm surprised he's on TV today.

[elleng]

3. JUST said he's not being muzzled,

statements to the contrary MISCONSTRUED!

GREAT to hear!

[drray23]

5. I hope that's true but I'm skeptical that Trump wont retaliate .nt.

[elleng]

6. I just saw him saying it.

[drray23]

9. Yes me too but that still does not mean trump wont go crazy.nt.

[elleng]

10. tr will ALWAYS go crazy.

[Roland99]

12. Wonder if that was walked back, then

[elleng]

15. Fauci said it was 'misconstrued.'

[lame54]

18. I don't believe that...

They caved but wantbhim to say it never happened

If that is what he needs to do to get the info out and still stay involved

So be it

[blm]

4. Anthony Fauci is NOT going to be gagged by anybody. He don't play that game.

He tells it straight.

[drray23]

8. I don't doubt his integrity.

May be he decided that he is prepared to lose his job to get the truth out.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Great. So the one person who actually knows what he is talking about is in danger

of being effectively muzzled.

[elleng]

11. He said he is NOT being muzzled.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Not YET.

Just wait.

[RockRaven]

16. But that is also what a muzzled person following orders would say, if they were told to.

I'm inclined to give Fauci the benefit of the doubt, but the statement itself is of limited usefulness because both an unfettered person and a person under Trump's thumb would both say the same thing -- that they were not being controlled.

[elleng]

17. Sorry that I missed early part of the interview,

drray23 heard more of it, I think: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13028702

[Roland99]

13. Is he saying anything of substance?
