Ivanka Trump slams Biden for saying only Fauci should speak about coronavirus

Ivanka Trump took a swipe at Joe Biden for saying that White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci is the “only person” who should speak about the pandemic on behalf of the administration.

“Dr. (Deborah) Birx is an Army Colonel and a subject matter expert who has dedicated her life to fighting infectious diseases. Why shouldn’t she also be able to speak?” the first daughter and President Trump’s senior adviser said in a tweet about the other task force member.

Biden, the former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said in an interview with TMJ4 that “we’d be better off if the only person we heard from the White House was Dr. Fauci.”

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has pushed back against the president for urging a reopening of states without broader testing for the disease.

The nation’s top infectious diseases expert warned Monday that resuming business too soon risked a fresh spike in infections.

In his interview with TMJ4, Biden also said the president should not be hosting the long White House press conferences daily.

“Follow the science,” he told the outlet. “We’re taking too much time.”

Her opinions are worthless. Nobody gives a damn about what she has to say. Besides Melania, she is the most useless woman on the face of the earth.

Maybe we should resurrect that.

Go away, Ivanka. Stay there.

Lock him up.
