Dr. Fauci clarifies his perceived criticism of Trump's handling of the coronavirus shutdown.

WASHINGTON – Anthony Fauci, the health care policy expert under fire from allies of President Donald Trump, said Monday he used a"poor choice of words" when he suggested lives could have been saved had the Trump administration put in place coronavirus restrictions earlier in the year.

Fauci said, "What goes into those kinds of decisions is – is complicated. But you're right. I mean, obviously, if we had, right from the very beginning, shut everything down, it may have been a little bit different. But there was a lot of pushback about shutting things down back then." Fauci's latest comments came right before Trump again said he would not fire his nationally recognized health care policy adviser.

Wow! So you mean Trump is listening to the experts?! The media is completely lying and corrupt and smearing Trump?... I’m shocked....

Dr. Fauci gave it to us straight the first time and Trump just loss several thousand votes because everyone knows he is behind this.

Both the Doctor and the President are fired ... how do we got to lead the world in the number of cases?

Poor guy..

I guess the push back was hypothetical as well

And then I am introduced to apparent crackhead doctors it's like damn I probably shouldn't have quit smoking crack lol

I have a feeling Dr. Fauci was bullied by Trump. Trump takes no responsibility for this mess! He's the one in charge & the numbers continue to climb on his Presidential time!

CLARIFIED!? NO he flipped. His azz is too old to be kissing Trump's azz.

This was sad and embarrassing to see.

I see the gangstas ruffled your feathers.

每日一问 请问美国现在还有流感电子烟肺炎吗 Daily question, are Flu and E-cigarette pneumonia still existing?

It’s OK Dr. Fauci, we got your back!

He needs to appease the Orange con man to keep America safe other wise the Idiot President might do more stupid things I feel sorry for him

He's probably going to have an 'accident' or 'suicide' real soon.

Finally the truth!

No one perceived it that way. We saw right thru the unethical way it was originally misrepresented

WTF ... everyone has clearly lost their mind!

Media is so dishonest that these officials have to waste time cleaning up the filth propaganda put out by activist journalists in attempts to make the admin look bad during a pandemic. Media are sick.

This guy is beginning to worry me. You can’t be for Trump and be honest.

Nothing there usa dopes

Clarified HA, you mean backtracked. Trump had him on FIRST well DUH!!!!

Stay strong Dr Fauci! Media always wants hot and some times fake news to sell more...

I believe he has had it with the mainstream antics

WTF? Does everyone have to bow down to this pig realDonaldTrump? Come the fuck on Tony.

Leadership

Sure I watched your altered account. It said just on mitigation now, that Trump, again, and AGAIN, and AGAIN, made the right call. Actually fauci said he brought up the China shutdown and the Europe shutdown as well, you left out. You're so pathetically dishonest.

usatoday has lead the way in disinformation

Cleanup in aisle 7

FireFauci

Trying to keep people from dying. Poor man.

We know trump got to the poor guy

But the Democrat mainstream media won't accept it!

Forced.
