Texas Lt. Gov. blasts Fauci as state coronavirus cases rise: 'I don't need his advice'

During a major surge in coronavirus cases in Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blasted the nation’s top infectious disease expert for his response.

Speaking as a guest on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Patrick said Anthony Fauci “has been wrong every time on every issue.”

“Fauci said today that he’s concerned about states like Texas that skipped over certain things,” Patrick told Laura Ingraham, a frequent critic of Fauci, on her June 30 show. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. We haven’t skipped over anything. The only thing I’m skipping over is listening to him.”

Fauci’s comments came during a Senate hearing Tuesday when he also said the daily count of new COVID-19 cases in the United States could rise to 100,000 a day if current trends persist, CNN reported.

more than completely reversed and issued a statewide mask requirement because of a catastrophic explosion of cases. Maybe you SHOULD follow expert advice, asswipe.

so that businesses could get back to making money.

Isn't he also the one who said, "There are worse things than dying"? As long, of course, as he isn't the one being sacrificed.

He is the last person qualified to make public health pronouncements.
