Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, hit back on Wednesday at officials within the Trump administration who have been trying to undermine him.

In an interview with The Atlantic, Fauci said it was strange to see the president’s loyalists publicly attacking him and other public health experts.

“Ultimately, it hurts the president to do that,” Fauci said. “When the staff lets out something like that and the entire scientific and press community push back on it, it ultimately hurts the president.”

Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday night had an op-ed published in USA Today in which he falsely attacked Fauci for supposedly being wrong about everything related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Killing us is their goal...they are successful in this, killing us. We sit here, GOP does

nothing so there is no question GOP are terrorists and need to be treated accordingly.

3. I feel so badly for Dr. Fauci. Like he needs this grief at this point in his career.

These attacks are going to backfire badly.

4. Much classier response than that jerk deserves

I would have had a few choice words for anyone that impugned my reputation that way.

Some of them would have began with the letter F.
