Trump retweets call to fire Anthony Fauci

Trump retweets call to fire Anthony Fauci after the coronavirus expert says earlier measures ‘could have saved lives’

President Trump retweeted a call to fire his top infectious disease specialist Anthony S. Fauci on Sunday evening, amid mounting criticism of the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The call, with the hashtag “FireFauci” came from a former Republican congressional candidate, DeAnna Lorraine, who amassed 1.8 percent of the vote in an open primary challenge to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) this year.


If Trump were smart and evil (rather than stupid and evil), he'd remember the saying that goes "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Imagine the influence that Dr. Fauci could have if he were freed from the need to walk the line between telling the truth and keeping his job.

That's why I believe he's going to cut and run as things worsen and the depth of his malice toward this country and utter incompetence become clear.

Recent polls have shown that Americans trust #Fauci much more than they trust #Trump, which could rankle the president.

I suggested he start appearing with President Cuomo so he would be free to tell us the truth.
