The guy should be fired on the spot’: Dr. Fauci fires back at assassination threat from Fox News host

Bob Brigham
December 21, 2021

America's top infectious disease expert on Tuesday said that Fox News should have already fired host Jesse Watters for shocking comments

CNN's John Berman interviewed Dr. Tony Fauci ahead of President Joe Biden's address to the nation on the Omicron variant.

"On the subject of divisiveness — and I'm not going to play it because, frankly, I think it's dangerous," Berman said. "But Jesse Watters, who is a Fox News entertainer, was giving a speech to a conservative group where he talked about you, suggesting to the crowd they ambush you with what he said was some kind of rhetorical 'kill shot.' That was his exact word."

"I'm wondering, you know, how much that concerns you when you hear language like that about you and your well-being," Berman said.
