Trump is featuring Fauci in a new ad, but had little use for him when they disagreed about how to handle the pandemic.
A former aide to Vice President Mike Pence says Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation’s leading infectious diseases experts, was often cast aside by President Donald Trump and high-ranking members of the administration.
Earlier this week, the Trump campaign ran an ad using out-of-context comments from Fauci to make it seem like he was complimenting the president. Troye, who said she worked side-by-side with Fauci, called the Trump campaign video “gross and upsetting and typical of a White House that has no regard for the truth.”
“Olivia Troye was in the room as the administration was ignoring, contradicting and discrediting Dr. Fauci,” Sarah Longwell, strategic director of Republican Voters Against Trump said in a news release. “The Trump campaign twisting his words in a TV ad is just another example of the irresponsibility and mendacity that so many Republicans are sick of.”
