White House’s Attempt To Discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci Poses Long-Term Risk – Day That Was | MSNBC

The Trump administration released a statement emphasizing errors Dr. Anthony Fauci made early in the pandemic, when far less was known about COVID-19, in an apparent effort to marginalize Fauci and neutralize his dire warnings. Attacking the credibility of one of the leading scientists as coronavirus infections skyrocket to record highs makes it harder to fight the disease in the long run. Aired on 7/13/2020.

  1. Criminal trump blames others and scapegoats in futile attempts to hide his own miserable failures.

    1. @Tom B. You kkk klansman are the anti americans. Your white neo nazi ideas are wrong. You uneducated trailer park trash are anti American traitors. Your cult leader is a con man joke.

    2. @Gooey 911 Wow you are just full of baseless crap.. Obvious a fox paid troll with useless information. Quite entertaining as you show us your ignorance and stupidity. Thanks for the laugh.

    3. @Norman Peterson Am I really just filled with baseless crap (check out MSNBC, the Young Turks, CNN, and Bill Maher totally destroy my accusations on child trafficking – these are the people who inform you –
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDVQe5iRiPw&t=295s)? Regarding my claims on Seth Rich, Weird how former DNC Donna Brazile (who is black btw) went to racist KKK Faux news (the only network to give Seth Rich coverage) after saying – “Only to [her friend] Elaine could I say that I felt some responsibility for Seth Rich’s death. I didn’t bring him into the DNC, but I helped keep him there working on voting rights,” she wrote. “With all I knew now about the hacking, I could not help but wonder if they had played some part in his unsolved murder” & that she “feared for her life after Seth Rich’s murder”. What has Donna been up to these days? Enjoy the show! or maybe I am a liar and MSNBC is always honest. LMAO!

    4. @Lina Mendez That’s why he’s making China great again.
      The great one should make every one better right, rather than sacrificing others for his own sake?

  2. Who do you believe, ? A guy who had his sister do his homework, Or a guy that has worked his way to the top of his Profession, ! I’ll trust the guy that worked hard ,! And didn’t Cheat, !

    1. @ihave35cents WTF are you talking about? Trump NEVER revises his opinion. He just said YESTERDAY Covid will just “disappear”…..AGAIN! Why do you worship an imbecile?

    2. @ihave35cents A president that’s running from his own shadow, vis: a long shadow of lawlessness and corruption. After the fall he is gonna be Fair Game for the Hunt!!

  3. If you vote Republican you are helping turn this country into a Banana Republic.
    VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER

    1. @Herbert Simon so what if I have the immune system to fight off for good now… there could be a million of its and buts and this and that….you have a 99% chance of recovering

    2. @Mike Obrien again….you fought it off this time. Also, that 99% recovery number everybody quotes from trump is misleading…5 to 10% experience debilitating sequelae. That’s alot of people given current infection rates. Do you think countries around the world are spending billions to combat a joke?

  4. USA discredits “Health Science” and Dr.Fauci who has 30+ Honorary Doctorates under SIX(6) USA 🇺🇸 President’s. Put USA health FIRST AMERICA! SERIOUSLY SCIENCE MATTERS!

    1. @RiPPER yea but there has to be an acceptable amount of deaths when you talk about anything more people are going to be killed by obesity and alcohol should we outlaw those? In 2 months when 8 million more people are evicted and homeless and 20,000 commit suicide then what murder goes up suicide goes up more riots more looting all during the most anti police time in American history.

    2. @philster611 so there’s a chain of events that happens when someone doesn’t pay their rent the landlord can’t pay their mortgage then the bank forecloses on the house you have to leave anyways and then the landlord loses their home as well then if you say the banks can’t foreclose on the house then the banks just lose a bunch of money then the banks need to be bailed out by the government then our economy collapses and we’re in another Great Depression

    3. @philster611 Oh I almost forgot if stay locked down untill theres a vaccine the entire restaurant industry which I work in wont exist because I dont know if you know this bit any restaurant that sells alcohol makes 70% of their money from alcohol sales oh then theres movie and television studios that wont be able to priduce anything for over a year. Also theres sports which are trying to continue now but if lock down and cancel all sports between the 5 major sports conferences thats a 50 billion dollar loss when include all the cities relying on college football like the city of Tusculusa Alabama stands to lose 2 billion if Alabama doesnt play this year.

    4. Seriously people of the US take precautions now! This is not working for your people. Just wear a mask and stay the heck away from others within at least 3feet. This is so Simple to understand and do for your selves, family and other human beings. To those who don’t care, well you Will have alot things you can’t do for months that you could have been doing by now! Be responsible for crying out loud, this is common sense to change the way and see how it is going to be for the better of your country. To those who have been doing social distancing, masking etc. my heart goes out to all you. May your citizens do what the good Doctor is telling you. RIP to all who succumbed to the virus.

    1. @Blue Terrace you want to be under the dictature of the new world order…..then stiçk with the democrates side…..
      In the case you don t , stick with the only presîdent against the cabale…,
      Watch the movie
      From georges orwell.1984

  5. Trump Supporter’s. I Have A Question. If the pandemic is a hoax as you seem to believe. Then What killed 135,000 American’s?
    Just asking! ???

    1. Just S T U P I D!… I’m sorry america has to be the most corrupt, stupid, ignorant, incompetent country ever…with a false sense of superiority 😨 just pathetic!!

    2. @E R They also ignore the fact that if it was a plot by Dems, other countries, scientists, Bill Gates, Soros, etc. it would be much more efficient. I’ve been in labs enough to know that a concocted virus would be much much more lethal, and I’ve been around enough hackers to know that the supposedly faux information could easily be made much more extreme. Do these Magas really think a deep state would pull their punches? If there was such a thing, why not hit harder?

    3. Gooey 911 you realize your city is probably run by a bunch of dems… it doesn’t really matter who the president is. And btw trump supports law and order Biden wants to defund police

  6. Draining the swamp, eh? It’s like a bunch of ants electing a narcissist aardvark as president.

    1. @James SearsYes, Trump is the swamp & he filled up with his alligators! Bunch of traitors,lier & corrupt.Trump made America’s fallen.

  7. They’re using Fauci as the scapegoat. Most of what he was saying at first he was also trying to help Trump not look so bad. now they turned on him to shift blame. Extreme cowards

    1. In 105 days we will not be wearing masks send running around and doing all this craziness to wreck the economy because Trump will have one already

    2. @mrbndoye Please do not respond to the Russian troll. This “Tom Donovan” account was made 1 week ago and has posted 4 comments, all on this one video

    1. @M A I’m going to research.

      For the meantime: RepubliCON studies demonstrate that one out of every three trump supporters is just as stupid as the other two. True story.😜

    2. El Shylo 🤣I focus on opening the eyes of people on the Left because many of Trump’s supporters are sadly brainwashed beyond the hope of recovery. The minute I tell them Trump is a pawn in the game…they start insulting me, calling me names. The Left is where my hope lies!!!

  8. This administration knows it is not doing well, so instead of changing course, or choosing something good for the country and popular, they try to discredit someone who is popular.

    1. Shooting the messenger when they don’t like the message tsk tsk. This is how threatened the Dumb administration is

    2. I’m wondering how many Trump fans let their kids blame others for everything. I doubt they put up with that. Yet they can’t see it with him. Amazing how people can be blinded when they want something bad enough. Too many people aren’t old enough now to really remember Jim Jones

    1. @Will Peyton what are u saying is im supporting the Orange head. Only stupid people would think like that. If you doubt field experts based on facts than mumbling mouth then jst follow your unresponsible leader. He wouldn’t care who lives or die. He cares only his assets. His business and whatever $hitty things he owns.

    2. @omi god His brain has melted away from all the conspiracies & 5G towers. They believe that when Democrats emailed each other and the subject line was Pizza Party that that was code that they were going to molest children.

      That is what these fruitcakes believe. Trying to reason with a single one is a waste of time.

      Get em in the polls✔️

    3. @Mike Obrien
      —————–You are most likely one of these weak-willed imbeciles rushing to take a DNA test. I know for a fact that you will not be able to handle the results, cretin. You and the impeached ILLEGITIMATE president who cheated his way to the White House, have the same chagrin: Obama was YOUR BLACK PRESIDENT FOR TWO FULL TERMS.
      THERE IS NOTHING YOU OR YOUR FELLOW SPINELESS CULTISTS CAN DO ABOUT IT. SO GET OVER IT!

    4. ​@Joe Velri ———————–I know for a fact that trump cultists are downright delayed in every possible sense of the term, but can you at list engage in very basic math operations?
      Even if your assertions were accurate, 9 X 8 years =72

  9. I am not confused, Donald is insane and only cares for himself. I believe the experts, no an orange lying buffoon!

    1. Tell you what, why don’t you stick your 35 cents where the sun don’t shine and see if that prevents infection.

      You might as well

      What have you got to lose?

      Imbecile!

    2. @Kristine Catsimatidis interview

      On Jan. 26, Fauci gave an interview to John Catsimatidis, a syndicated radio host in New York. “What can you tell the American people about what’s been going on?” Catsimatidis asked. “Should they be scared?”

      “I don’t think so,” Fauci said. “The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. It’s a very, very low risk to the United States, but it’s something we, as public health officials, need to take very seriously

    3. @Ian Heron you homosexuals are always thinking about sticking things where the sun doesn’t shine

    4. 35 cents,So you’re a homophobe as well as a clueless cult loving imbecile , ha!

      Drink in the Kool-aid

      Used condoms are more useful than your 35 cents.

    5. That was then. this is now. Scientists are constantly revising their conclusions on the basis of new evidence. Do you?

  10. It must be eating Trump every day that Dr Fauci is the one man he can’t fire. That’s why he ordered the PR hit job on the good doctor.

  11. Trump’s ego is massively crushed by Fauci. This is someone who has achieved and attained a position of respect and authority through intelligence and hard work, and not daddy’s money.

    1. @M A Did you know that most people who believe in conspiracy theories are people with high IQ’s?

    2. MP Thingy Thanks my friend! Yes…because “Conspiracy theories” are nothing more than “that which the Oligarchs who control US intelligence agencies” disagree with. Funny:Nicole Wallace is C I A and worked for Bush White House. I have a niece who went to Georgetown for “Journalism” and was literally told: “If you want to be a journalist you need to go thru military training, then get accepted into the CIA…and they will place you with the appropriate media from there”

    3. @M A I told you I’m not interested in conspiracy theories or CIA… I asked you… Do you know that people who believe in conspiracy theories have high IQ’s? Do you play chess?

    4. People dont be deceived by this Fauci Figure. If anything this guy should not be herod. He is the guy responsible for preventing the lockdow… and death.. preventing lack of plans and matrials for such a virus (well known) working for the richest country in the world. He is the guy responsible not Trump. He should be fired right away simply bc there is a lockdown.. means he has failed doing his job… you MORONS. Not Trump.

      And not to talk the level of coruption that is in your face .. just go and dig a bit and see for yourself.. this A. FAUCI has been tied to making profits of patents relating to the Virus and he has bee bypassing a judge rule preventing people in positions like him making profits.. talk about a conflict of interest.. the level of coruption is beyond appalling again.

      And here something MSNBC will never report on .. on dr. Fauci life work:
      http://aras.ab.ca/aidsquotes.htm

    5. @damienlabenz I know a bar where you can go to… Bring your ALL your friends. Close the door and windows and don’t use ventilation. You even don’t have to wear a mask and social distancing is out of the question! Best bar ever! Can’t even find a better one. It’s the best and most successful bar in Miami. You wouldn’t believe it so good and successful!

  12. hmmm – who to trust on a deadly pandemic. One of the world’s most pre-eminent public health physicians or an impeached ex-game show host with a personality disorder who asks doctors to investigate injecting bleach?

    1. @hmmm, not forgetting he is reportedly believed to have hired somebody else to sit the SATS for him. And had his sister doing his homework anyway. What a wonderful way to become a “stable genius”.

      Trump is real sad and deplorable.

    2. If a member of Trump’s base waivers now, that person (shall we say ‘he’?) will be a pariah among his friends. It’s akin to a circular firing squad.

    3. Gosh, I missed the game show, but if I could find re-runs, I’d watch a couple of broadcasts — but of course if you’re speaking metaphorically,

  13. My fellow Americans, we are gaslit abuse victims facing mass death/genocide. “Now is the time for all good -patriots- to come to the aide of their country!”

    1. @tonak1 Yeah, well, it’s a proven RepibliCON study/fact that clearly demonstrates that one out of every three trump supporters is just as stupid as the other two. 😜

      DUMB-AZZ!

      VOTE DEMOCRAT 2020 🇺🇸🌚😁💪👍!!!

    1. Derik Shears his bankruptcy millions? Or his salary and book out his hotels to get richer scam? Even if I like him I don’t repeat that line he’s planted

    2. JB Bgin The economy is doing better now during these chaotic times then it has to ever been and you just accuse of him as using his position to gain more wealth I would say he’s in it for us all, unless you just don’t want to try in life

    3. James wdym give me one example the Dow is sitting 8,000 points higher then when Obama was in and we’re in the middle of the corona give me an example of how trump only cares about himself

    1. @craig wasil No, the funding goes to the research teams that countries send in. There were a number of research teams that were sent in fro the UK and Australia. Their respective countries fund each team.And the virus is not “created”: its crossed over.

  14. Dr. Fauci knows what he’s talking about and actually cares about saving lives. That’s something Adolf Benedict Trump and his inner circle can never say.
