Tucker Carlson Rages Against Dr. Fauci, Calls Him 'Chief Buffoon'

FUX Noise host Tucker Carlson took aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday night, unleashing a furious tirade against the top infectious disease expert, whom he called the “chief buffoon.”

Piggybacking on Sen. Rand Paul’s criticism of Fauci at Tuesday’s Senate hearing on the coronavirus pandemic, Carlson said the Republican lawmaker was right to complain about experts’ predictions about the virus.

“A lot of wrong predictions have come out of Washington on the question of the coronavirus, and quite a few of them came directly from Dr. Fauci himself. We are not singling him out or attacking him,” the Fox News star declared before devoting the next few minutes to directly attacking the White House coronavirus task force member.

Carlson proceeded to point out some of the positions Fauci has shifted on throughout the crisis, such as on face masks. After playing a clip of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease director saying in March that “there’s no reason for people to be walking around in a mask” at that time, Carlson appeared to liken Fauci to a false messiah.

Being called a buffoon by Carlson is like being called ugly by a toad.

He was a buffoon even before he got his Fox gig. Anybody remember when Jon Stewart pantsed him and stuffed him in his locker on Crossfire? http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0410/15/cf.01.html

For Carlson to call anyone, let alone someone as distinguished as Dr. Fauci, a buffoon transcends pots commenting on the sootiness of kettles.

Like this gem for the ages: "In a few days it will be close to zero" - d. trump

You think you have a lot of material there, eh Tucker? The problem is that it is largely from your own camp. Why don't you root around in your own hog pen for a bit, see what you can uncover?

Trying to insult Dr. Fauci by saying that he sometimes REVISES his positions completely ignores the horse manure coming from Carlson's high and mighty leader's mouth. These Repugs are masters at spinning the fallacies and falsehoods that Chump vomits out on a daily basis.

Lastly, a "buffoon" doesn't get to serve six presidents regardless of their party affiliation and build a stellar reputation in his field.
