President Donald Trump was clearly annoyed by Dr. Anthony Fauci‘s comments on CNN today regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, retweeting a former congressional candidate’s post that criticized Fauci and used the hashtag “#FireFauci.”
Earlier in the day, Fauci had appeared on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper, and made several comments that may have raised Trump’s ire, including saying that if America had adopted coronavirus mitigation measures earlier, we could have saved lives, and that he had doubts that the pandemic would be sufficiently resolved by November in order for voters to be able to safely go to polling stations in person.
