Navarro mocks Fauci's first pitch

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Mosby (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Monday refused to extinguish his bitter feud with Dr. Anthony Fauci, mocking the nation’s top infectious disease expert for missing home plate with his ceremonial first pitch on Major League Baseball’s Opening Day.

The remarks from Navarro, who is assisting with the administration’s coronavirus vaccine development efforts and coordination of the supply chain for personal protective equipment, came in an interview with “Fox & Friends,” when he was asked whether he regretted authoring an explosive op-ed two weeks ago attacking Fauci’s medical expertise.

“You know, the only thing I regret is Dr. Fauci’s pitch the other day at Opening Day. I felt bad for him,” Navarro said. “But I always look forward, and we’re all part of the team. And he actually tells people to wear the masks, and my job is to get them made.”

Navarro also revealed he had not spoken with the doctor since USA Today published his column, titled “Anthony Fauci has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on.”

Navarro is 8 years younger than Fauci, I'd like to see how he would have done. Even better, put them on a wrestling mat together.

Christ, it's only 60 feet! That arc--it must be an Eephus pitch.

And what's with the teeth! Is he channeling Mister Ed?

A man of science--not a ballplayer. I see trump backed out of even trying to throw a pitch.

...(junior high) I played on the baseball team. My reputation was "fast, good glove, great arm, not much of a hitter."
The coaches thought I had a great arm, mind you.
Did I ever throw the ball and have it go nowhere near where I wanted it? Of course I did. Everybody does, no matter their talents, ability or age.
It just happens sometimes.
Most people don't have it happen on international TV, though!
Making fun a Fauci because of a bad throw, which everyone who's ever thrown ANYTHING has done, is low rent.
Navarro is a punk!

He's not in a position to mock anybody, much less a world-class public health expert like Dr. Fauci.

Let's compare Dr. Fauci's accomplishments to Navarro's. When we're done laughing, let's get back to the science of the coronavirus and get this thing fixed.
