It’s a sad time when members on both sides of the political aisle use hurtful rhetoric to slander or devalue someone just because they don’t agree with what that person has to say, or they believe they are so right; they can’t be wrong. The other voice is destroying a narrative.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease,s reportedly has had an increasing number of threats made against him. Fauci serves as a leading expert at daily COVID (coronavirus) press conferences at the White House.
Allegations that members on the political right have been going after Fauci because they don’t believe the doctor is where this is all coming from. I am ashamed if this is true because I have always been taught that Republicans are so much better than Democrats.
Pres. Trump is never going to let anyone use himself, and if I have seen most of his supporters over the years speak to the “trust the plan” directive, now they want blood, and that’s wrong.
The Department of Health and Human Services requested that U.S. Marshals deputize a group of agents in the office of the HHS IG to handle the doctor’s protection, and the request was approved by the Department of Justice, according to the officials.
The officials did not expand on the nature of the threats, or provide detail on the extent of physical protection Dr. Fauci will receive.
Dr. Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is one of the most prominent and respected voices in the nation’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic, and appears regularly at the White House’s daily Coronavirus Task Force briefings.
Although he has occasionally stepped in to correct or dial back claims President Trump has made about the nation’s effort to stop the virus, Dr. Fauci has emphasized that he and Trump are working together well. [CBS News]
When you can’t handle the truth, kill the one saying it. It’s nice to know human nature hasn’t changed that much in the last couple hundred years.
