Will Trump fire Fauci? Advisor isn't surprised POTUS got Covid-19, says White House controls his public speeches

In a tell-all interview, Fauci said that he was worried POTUS was going to get sick when he saw the superspreader, maskless events on television

In a latest interview, Dr Anthony Fauci revealed that he was not surprised that President Donald Trump tested positive for Covid-19 and he also admitted that his public speaking is restricted by the White House. Even though Trump doesn't want anything to go wrong before the election, Fauci's candid statements about Trump and his views can surely dig a hole in the election ballot for POTUS.

When CBS's Dr Jon LaPook, asked: "Were you surprised that President Trump got sick?" The 79-year-old replied, "Absolutely not. I was worried that he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask. When I saw that on TV, I said, 'Oh my goodness. Nothing good can come outta that, that's gotta be a problem.' And then, sure enough, it turned out to be a super spreader event." 

LaPook further asked, "During this pandemic, has the White House been controlling when you can speak with the media?" to which Fauci replied, "You know, I think you'd have to be honest and say yes. I certainly have not been allowed to go on many, many, many shows that have asked for me." He further adds, "You know, I think there has been a restriction, Jon, but — but it doesn't, it, it, it isn't consistent." 

The 60-minute-long interview revealed how the White House tries to control what and how much Fauci can reveal to the public. And even though Trump would never agree that the crowded events with people "not wearing masks" could be the reason behind him testing positive, Fauci for sure believes in science.

As soon as the candid interview came to light, people started reacting to it, as one Internet user appreciated Fauci and wrote, "American in an overall majority love Dr. Fauci. They will appreciate this. If one of the most respect Doctor in the World can't even be safe in a country because he is put in danger by Trump himself, it's quite telling. Nov 3rd, patriots will save this country." While another one pointed out, "This Fauci segment on @CBS @60Minutes should be the end of Trump and his enablers. Its astonishing and unfortunate that Trump's followers STILL won't believe."

One angry netizen wrote, "I would appreciate having Dr. Anthony Fauci explain why he can be forbidden by Trump to speak regarding any topic. Retweet if you believe this to be absolutely insane. Trump must be defeated. He is an inept abuser of power. He believes he can hide his blatant ineptitude w/ silence." While another one tried to clarify saying, "His department are doing their best to bring you information He’s just the public face of that department Pity Trump & his re-election admin (couldn’t call them a government) can’t see beyond the point of their political polling Great great pity 217,000 dead pity."

While one questioned Fauci's statement and said, "For a guy that has been so restricted, he sure seems to be on TV a lot and being quoted by every friggin MSM news outlet." One Democratic Party supporter tweeted, "Damn! They’re shutting Fauci down! Who’s next....each and every American citizen who disagrees with Donald? Vote People! Are Freedom’s Will Be Taken Away... If Donald remains in the WH! Vote! Our lives depends on it! Vote Biden & Harris! Vote!"
