Trump Jr. made the remarks during the"America UnCancelled" event hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas on Friday. The son of former Presidentdenounced the nation's top doctor while speaking about the"propagandists" working in what he called the formerly"honorable institution" of journalism. Trump Jr. insisted that Fauci is merely a"bureaucrat" and that members of the press who suggest otherwise are being deceptive.
"[The press said] Fauci is something other than a bureaucrat in a lab coat. Yeah," Trump Jr. said."Fauci is better at pitching baseballs than he is at science, okay? Also true. I want to see them fact check that one, they have no chance." Trump Jr.'s opinion about 80-year-old Fauci's baseball skills, or lack thereof, come after the doctor was widely mocked after badly fumbling the ceremonial first pitch for the Washington Nationals last summer—a moment that Fauci himself called"quite embarrassing."
Fauci played both baseball and basketball as a child and young adult, captaining his high school basketball team. He focused on his medical education and career after that and whatever athletic prowess he may have had is likely significantly diminished as an octogenarian. Donald Trump Jr. said that Dr. Anthony Fauci is"better at pitching baseballs than he is at science" during a speech at a Conservative Political Action Conference event on Friday. Trump Jr. is pictured delivering the speech at the"America UnCancelled" event in Dallas, Texas on July 9, 2021.While Fauci has recently become a figure of disdain among some conservatives for his public health work amid the COVID-19 pandemic, his scientific credentials are not a matter of opinion.
Idiot.
….slow ass week?
Jr. is best at pitching daddie’s BS
Says the guy that is only good at snorting lines and desperately clawing for attention.
Did anyone ever notice that the Trump family only seems to feel good if they can put other people down. Something wrong with that picture!
The so called great master at negotiations could not work with anyone in Washington. DJT and family barely survived 4 yr. Fauccis has survived thru 7 administrations Mers,SARS, HIV, Ebola and Covid. DJT jr is just mad he can’t do anything except ride daddy’s coat tails
Stop posting about him.
Ignore this guy.
I would love to see this one locked up and the prisoners would love it even more. Fresh meat, fresh meat. Pick up that soap punk.
his standup routine is second to none
At least Fauci has balls. More than I can say for Trump Jr.
Junior is better at snorting coke than making sense.
Surabees Appreciate the solemn trotting out of Fauci’s credentials, but I think the problem some people (not me) have with him is more about his initially saying we shouldn’t worry about coronavirus or wear masks, and then reversing both positions.
Trump Jr is better at doing lines then one liners
VoteBlue✌🏼💙2022 No more clowns🤡🤡
.: Being a loudmouth does not make on newsworthy.
From an intellectual lightweight
Nice to hear criticism of a man who worked hard...and continues to do so...after going thru years of schooling, by a man who had his daddy hand him everything he has, and doesn't appreciate it.
Can't fix stupid!
That's cute. He's got his kids writing lines for him.
This is from someone who never built a life on his own. Lived under daddy his whole life.
Omg are these ppl still butt hurt Fauci pitched 😂😂😂😂 how pathetic and ridiculous
POTUS45 DonaldJTrumpJr 630.000 Dead American COVID-19. Trump Numbers.
Why are you all trying to keep losers relevant?!?! This is the problem with spreading propaganda. Please just stop with this bullshit!
Why give this trust fund brat attention?
Classic example of Trump arrogance toward those more intelligent and knowledgeable.
I wonder why he thinks his father kept Fauci as an adviser if he really believed this.
And I bet the MF is vaccinated too!
Stick to your 8balls Junior
Butt-Head says what?
This is good bye... I have had it with those giving nuts platform
omg no1curr
Then he wandered into a stranger's house, collapsed on their couch, and pissed himself.
DT-J is an idiot!!!
Aids anyone?
The guy’s score will be off the charts on any test to detect a douchebag, or a sociopath.
Lol. Imagine DJT Jr critically reading the literature and coming to a well thought out opinion that differs from Dr. Fauci.
Did he instruct the crowd to clap?
Eerie how much he sounds and likes like Sr
Had to look this up, but think Jr is himself more concerned with speedballs and 8 balls.
Why does jr matter ?
Newsweek used to be respectable.
Junior is loaded. Again.
Agreed!
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
You and your father incited a deadly insurrection in an attempt to overthrow the government. Outrageous statements like these are all a distraction from 1/6. And the media falls for it every single time.
Oh, Don.
If america keep on believing this narcisist family they better know that they are just being conned by them, America will not be in a bad shape but will be in chaos.
How can he judge Dr Fauci? Did I miss him getting his medical license? 🤷♀️
Science!
And the Trumps are now setting the standard for science? 🤣😂🤣😂
DonaldJTrumpJr is better at doing copious amounts of cocaine than he is at lying. Okay!
Killer. Both him and his father. They literally are causing and have caused the deaths of thousands of Americans through their cruel manipulations and lies over Covid.
America's very stable genius Jr. 😂😂😂
Junior is a mess. Like his father and siblings.
