Fauci clarifies previous comments about coronavirus response

Dr. Anthony Fauci clarified comments he'd made a day earlier about the administration's handling of the global coronavirus pandemic, a striking show of reconciliation following a day of questions about his future on the White House task force.
Fauci said he was responding to a "hypothetical question" during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" program when he said more could have been done to save American lives. He claimed his response "was taken as a way that maybe somehow something was at fault here" and said his remark about "pushback" inside the administration to some of his recommendations was a poor choice of words.

    1. Fauci said in a January interview that the virus was “not a major threat” to the U.S. He’s lucky he apologized and still has a job.

    2. Fauci is a Dr he will and always try and save lives. Fauci does not care if he is fired he is worried for his life by Trump and his supporters.

    1. @Last Laugh No, he just had doctor’s telling him stuff, including reports from the news going back months to make a decision with. So, he’s still an idiot.

    2. We have a buffoon as a president and the guy running against him has Alzheimer’s. America is the laughing stock of the modern industrial world

    3. Derp state… XDDD ehh 🙁 I’m having a hard time finding anythimg funny watching the news. It’s not funny. Lunatic… save us…. my area isn’t doing well.

    4. @Jester Avrgjoe Trumpist logic: all the experts and scientists are wrong trump is right all of the time no matter what and fire thoses who say he’s wrong when everyone knows trump is wrong.

  1. So, this honorable man is made to kneel in front of us. To kiss the feet of the Great Leader. We’re not fooled.

    1. @Doug Hilton These people are so dumb lol. Clearly very angry too after watching Trump’s press conference today. It was EPIC!

    2. And his feet were kissed….its the cherry on top hearing Bernie had to endorse Biden. Long live the King. Trump 2020

    1. DAILY BEAST In order to be a “hostage”, he needs to be held against his will. Fauci isn’t the type of person to do things he believes to be against his conscience, he’s very moralistic. He would’ve resigned sooner than he would’ve done something like that.

    2. @Patrick O’Neil Are you really that stupid? He said it LOOKS like a hostage video. NOT that he is a literal hostage you grade A fucking moron!

    3. Bit Spook Aren’t you a charming person? I appreciate your eloquently worded message, but I understood his comment perfectly. I simply put the definition of a “hostage” and explained why I thought Fauci wouldn’t be beholden to anything but his conscience.

    1. Love how the media is guaranteeing a Trump re election. The majority of America does not make decisions based on media opinions especially when they blatantly put their own bias against the president

    2. @Jester Avrgjoe that’s what it feels like. I’m 32 and never voted for anyone before in my life. I feel so compelled to vote for Trump just because of all the one sided news stories and bias against him

    1. Yeah. Fauci was downplaying it too, don’t let the media fool you. “very very low risk to Americans” , don’t change your habits etc

    1. But he doesn’t because he’s a doctor and at the top of his profession, and a quality human being who also recognizes the benefits of living in and greatness of America.
      And you are a saggy bag of mostly water; pretty useless.

    1. @David Jimenez if you take the power of the office that Trump now has and you put Biden there then we will know if the crimes he committed can indeed hopefully lead to imprisonment.

    1. The left lie with the ease they breathe and their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Look at Alyssa Milano. The hypocrisy.

    2. The Memo …The results were obvious in today’s briefing. He was definitely told to make Trump look good. Trump looked like a mob boss.

    1. If he’s a Dunce, then you really should have no problem running against him, getting elected as President and doing the job that even a Dunce could do.

    1. It isn’t about Trump. Despite the awful mistake of 2016, the American people need and deserve Dr. Fauci. We would be so screwed without him.

  2. When trump moves his hands like that, it makes it look like hes trying to do a magic trick… or maybe hypnotise someone? Lol looks ridiculous

    1. I know, it’s his invisible accordion trick. The only people who are fooled are his cult followers.

    2. Matts Toaster Not sure you’ve ever been to NY/NJ, ‘cause that’s a majority of people from that area.

    3. Trump IS the HOAX I’m afraid I’ve never heard of this “World Mental Health Coalition”. Could you please link me to their academic accreditation? I would also just like to disagree with Obama’s placement at number 12, I believe there were many more fitting presidents to be put in that slot.

    4. @Trump IS the HOAX A friend said to me that it’s much easier to be president than be a pope.

      To be president any lunatic can stand there and bark and be elected.

    1. CONSTANTINE ANGEL GUTIERREZ Perhaps you don’t know that the actual presidential elections don’t happen for quite a few months.

    2. Not sure about that. Trump had 2x more votes in the primary running unopposed (591,000) than Obama did during his incumbent year 2012 (293,000). Heck Trump had more votes this year than Biden did, and that’s just people coming out to show support for no reason because Trump is unopposed.

  3. Trump is close to a zero, and one day he will magically disappear, he will go away, just stay calm and vote.

    1. @sammycool123456789 eh I would rather have trump then someone who stumbles his words all the time. At least trump has helped the people and he connects to the people

  4. dr fauci said nothing different today than what he said earlier. it is just the sick mind of dj trump interpreting everything his way.

    1. And it will. Like every other virus has in history. Trump tells the truth again, but once again you guys can’t accept.
