[SouthernCal_Dem]

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino publicly blasted White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci Sunday on Facebook.

Scavino posted a cartoon by conservative illustrator Ben Garrison which showed Fauci as a faucet flushing the economy down a sink, with labels including “Indefinite lockdown!” and “Shut up and obey!”

“Sorry, Dr. Faucet! At least you know if I’m going to disagree with a colleague, such as yourself, it’s done publicly — and not cowardly, behind journalists with leaks,” Scavino commented. “See you tomorrow!”

1. May 12th 2020 Dr. Anthony Fauci warns senators of 'suffering and death' if states reopen too early

(Hey, Scavino Dr. Fauci warned about effects to the economy of opening back up too soon.)

White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Tuesday that the United States could face even more “suffering and death” from the coronavirus if some states rush to reopen businesses too early.

It could also hinder states “on the road to try to get back to an economic recovery,” he testified at a hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. “It would almost turn the clock back rather than going forward. That is my major concern.”

The White House has laid out a plan that allows states to gradually reopen local businesses as cases and hospitalizations decline and testing increases, among other “checkpoints,” Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said. He added he’s worried that some states are loosening social distancing restrictions even as their Covid-19 cases continue to rise.

“What I’ve expressed then and again is my concern that if some areas, cities, states, what have you, jump over those various checkpoints and prematurely open up without having the capability of being able to respond effectively and efficiently, my concern is that we will start to see little spikes that might turn into outbreaks,” he said.

4. They're trying to rewrite history

[Botany]

17. This from their playbook of trying to shift the blame

The Russia/Trump plot was really Mueller, Schiff, the FBI, and others fault not that Team Trump worked with Russia, Stone, Facebook, and the Russian Mob to rig our elections. So now it is really Fauci's fault not that Trump and company fucked it all up.

2. Do these morons just not have the ability to conceive of a future more than 3 weeks away?

I just don't understand what their endgame is here.

The virus does not care about their ideology. If you give it a chance to spread and kill, it will.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. Me either

[ScratchCat]

7. "I don't understand what their endgame is here"

I've been asking the same thing too. I don't get what they think will happen if we just pretend covid-19 doesn't exist.

[DSandra]

10. Seems like Republicans have achieved peak stupid

The economy is dependent on public confidence of it. It depends on consumers feeling safe to spend. With the virus roaming like this, many will stay at home and withhold spending.

[Ilsa]

21. Have they forgotten that we have digital video,

and that there aren't copies or negatives for them to find and destroy to make their previous comments go away? The position of the gopee from early 2020 is out there in the cloud and available on every streaming device!

[secondwind]

5. So much disrespect!! Are we not a civilized country anymore??!?

🤬

[SoonerPride]

15. We "elected" and that ended the illusion of civility

We are a thugocracy

20. Trump's caddie and a POS of the highest order. (n/t)

[madaboutharry]

8. This is an example of the depth of depravity that runs through the Republican Party.

This is the exact kind of character attack on scientists and scholars that accured in Nazi Germany and The Soviet Union.

[world wide wally]

9. How dare anyone put American lives ahead of Trump's reelection!

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. Scavino isn't a "colleague" of Fauci. Fauci is a professional, serving his country

Scavino is a ratfucker putting his country at risk for the sake of a pus-filled anus.

[dalton99a]

16. +1. Scavino's job qualification: He was Trump's golf caddie.

[malaise]

12. I hope Karma awaits

That is all

[NCjack]

13. If Dan is infected with Trump-19, he will be begging Fauci's colleagues to

save his worthless life.

14. So Bannon's

trainee is in charge of the Assassination via Media. Learned well.

18. I'm telling you... it's frickin Hate Radio

the assholishness is the appeal!

This is what these fucksticks hear 24/7/365.

It's like road rage. Being behind the wheel of a 2,000 lb car turns some people into raging hatefilled asshats.

What do you think sitting behind a microphone does?

Next time we march in the streets, it ought to be in front of every local radio station broadcasting this hateful crap.

22. Typical Trump projection. n/t

[JI7]

23. And we are supposed to cry over these people if they die of Covid
