Actually?
Anthony Fauci was ALWAYS on Donald Trump’s shit list….
Now Trump & Co. will go at the good doctor harder to trey to harness their anti-virus political campaign to try to blunt a President Biden political strength ….
President Trump plans to make Anthony Fauci a top target at upcoming rallies, using increased attention to the Wuhan lab-leak theory as a weapon against an official long viewed as more trustworthy.
Why it matters: Trump and conservative media have made Fauci an improbable face of the opposition, trying to give him the cartoon-villain status once accorded to former Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or — in Trump’s case — Hillary Clinton.
Trump amped up his longtime Fauci rants yesterday in a statement calling for COVID reparations from China:
- “The correspondence between Dr. Fauci and China speaks too loudly for anyone to ignore. China should pay Ten Trillion Dollars to America, and the World, for the death and destruction they have caused!”
What we’re hearing: Look for Trump to light into Fauci tomorrow during dinner remarks to North Carolina annual Republican convention, in Greenville — Trump’s second big speech, after CPAC, since leaving office.
- Jason Miller, Trump’s senior adviser, told Axios the base has a “visceral” reaction to Fauci: “People see Anthony Fauci and they think of shuttered businesses, lost school.”…..
President Biden on Friday made clear he has confidence in his medical adviser Anthony Fauci as conservatives ramp up their attacks on the government’s top infectious diseases expert over his comments on the origins of COVID-19.
“Yes, I’m very confident in Dr. Fauci,” Biden told reporters in Delaware after giving remarks on the economy. Biden had left the room, but popped back in to respond to a question about the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Fauci has been a target for some Republicans dating back to last year, when he evolved his guidance on masking and distancing as more information about the pandemic emerged. Former President Trump turned Fauci into a consistent foil at campaign rallies as he and other Republicans held the doctor up as an example of an overcautious approach to the pandemic that had shut down the economy. Fauci required a security detail as he and his family faced threats…

Trump will continue to “fade away” by addressing the North Carolina Republican Convention this weekend.

Jack?
I did NOT say disappear
But his numbers KEEP DROPPING….
Just saying this i KNOW it doesn’t matter to U
You still think like the GOPer”s and the media that he’s the second coming….
My Name Is Jack says
Actually James,
Nothing you say “matters “to me.
Once again you force me to tell you the truth .
No one here has much if any respect for your “opinions.” In most cases they are nothing but a morass of stream of consciousness banging at a keyboard with the “proof” you offer to support them frequently unrelated to your opinion even.
Your last paragraph above is nonsensical.How is it “thinking” like a Republican to simply report the fact that Trump is speaking at certain events?Then the mentioning of that means that somehow think he is the “second coming?”
Fundamentally you are an irrational person ,much like many of Trumps supporters.Facts mean nothing to you if it interferes with your “line.”
I come here to offer a few views and to read those of others.Yours?Since most of them are either indecipherable or plain rubbish?I use them to amuse myself by simply verbally swatting them away like one might do a pesky mosquito.

Didn’t they just have CPAC?
I remembered Golden Trump Calf being rolled into the venue just a couple months ago.
My Name Is Jack says
Seems like it but this year it’s being held in Dallas July 9-11.
jamesb says
Guys?
We’re gonna ser if the ‘Trump ‘ party people run ‘on’ Trump out side of safe Red districts and states next year?
My bet?
Nope…..
My bet?
They run against DEMOCRATS like they ALWAYS do and Trump is quietly kept in their pockets for red meat audiences….
My Name Is Jack says
“Red meat audiences?”
In other words , Republicans.
jamesb says
Following the Trump lead?
Fox News host Steve Hilton on Sunday claimed Anthony Fauci lied to Congress about the origins of the coronavirus and called for him to be prosecuted, part of a pattern of conservative attacks on the nation’s top infectious diseases expert….

No good deed unpunished.

I commented last week on this new Republican Hate target.
Fauci seems to drive the Jan.6ers particularly nuts for some odd reason.
Now this little Right Wing creep gets in on the hate.Maybe he’s auditioning to be Trumps press secretary when he reassures the presidency after these “audits” are over?
My Name Is Jack says
Now comes word that Trump will join Bill OReilly on some type of “tour” to relieve the rubes of their money to watch two sexual harassers pontificate on the many lies of Trumps administration.
Take the trash for all they got boys and make the lies good.They eat that stuff up!

Anthony Fauci’s poll numbers are fine….
A majority of voters say they do not think President Biden’s chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci should resign, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.
Fifty-eight percent of registered voters said Fauci should not resign.
By contrast, 42 percent of respondents said he should resign.
…
A recent Hill-HarrisX poll found 61 percent said Fauci has been truthful to the best of his knowledge regarding the origins of COVID-19 while 39 percent said he misled the public…
