CNN host Chris Cuomo said he was worried to see infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci missing from President Donald Trumps Monday news conference on the coronavirus outbreak.
Hes become like Americas grandpa, Cuomo said. He gives conscience and comfort and fact to this country, and uniquely so.
But Fauci was absent Monday after reports surfaced that Trump wasnt happy with him for contradicting the White House. This prompted Cuomo to warn the media against making the doctor a foil to the president.
Do you know whats more dangerous than COVID? Cuomo asked. Telling the truth about Trump as a member of the executive branch. No one survives that. Why put Fauci in a position of having to admit that Trump is wrong or lying when we already know that to be the case?

(14,768 posts)you HAVE to put any wh official in that position, precisely because people will believe trump if you don't.
So what if they lose a job. What's more important?

(16,929 posts)Those Cuomo boys are really being a PITA (yeah, and IQ45 doesn't like "foreign" food either!) to America's #1 doctor/money-man/inspirational leader. I'm thinking we may see the military sent to blockade ANY travel to and from the state of New York.
Plus, perhaps it is time to build another wall, this time around the whole state of New York (I'm sure there's Medicare and Social Security money available to pay for that......).
Gotta' admit - this is one interesting thing to watch during the "shutdown!"

(11,320 posts)Umm .. Because "WE" in fact don't know that to be the case? Because 45-50% of the U.S. still believe the guy (despite his constant lying) .. and because his lying is getting people killed?
Because that's what the news media is suppose to do?
I can agree that it's perhaps unfair to use Fauci as a foil and a focal point .. but the fact that the president is lying, and ignorant beyond belief .. is still kind of germane!! And now carries a sort of special poignancy sharp relief, because ... dead people.
