Here's the quote on Fauci:
- The first, obviously, is his renewed attack on Fauci. More evidence of his "for me or against me" world, which in his mind is good vs. evil.
- The second, embedded in the piece as I saw it just now, is a video of him telling has followers that a new CDC study says 85% of people wearing masks get the virus. Apparently there is a study out that finds that 85% of people in treatment reported having worn masks, which is an entirely different thing.
Quote:“'My friend, and he’s a nice guy, Tony. Tony Fauci. He’s a nice guy. He said this is not a threat. This is not a problem. Don’t worry about it,' Trump told the crowd of supporters at an outdoor rally in Greenville, N.C.And then there's this:
"'And he said do not wear a mask. Do not wear a mask under any circumstances. Don’t wear a mask. Don’t. Don’t don’t, right? So we don’t wear a mask, then they say, oh, wear a mask. Did you see any conflicts?' Trump continued.
"“But he’s a nice guy so I keep him around, right? We’ll keep him around. He’s a Democrat. Everybody knows that. He’s [New York Gov. Andrew] Cuomo’s friend. Cuomo did the worst job of any governor in the United States,' Trump said, before eviscerating Cuomo’s response to the coronavirus."

BTW, allsides.com rates The Hill as "center."
Wow, what trash. He "keeps him around"? If what Trump said about Fauci was true that would be dereliction of duty on Trump's part. So even in his attempts to point fingers at others he makes it clear that Trump is still the problem.
