FILE - In this April 22, 2020 file photo, President Donald Trump watches as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington.
WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals announced Monday that Fauci -- a self-described fan of the reigning World Series champions -- accepted the team’s invitation to have the pregame honor Thursday night. The Nationals host the New York Yankees to open the season nearly four months after it originally was scheduled to begin. Spring training was halted in March because of the COVID-19 outbreak and teams resumed preparing to play this month.In their new release about Fauci’s role at the opener, the Nationals refer to him as “a true champion for our country” during the pandemic “and throughout his distinguished career.
President Trump is right. Dr. Fauci is unreliable. PressSec POTUS
I won’t be watching the Nationals in any games if Fauci is honored for his terrible performance and advice on this vius!!!
Great
I wonder if the left will snuff Fauci when they are done with him too?
What a creep to have so this. But then if you’re taking a knee you deserve trash
‘I don’t think sports will be prepared to have a season this year. Now watch me throw this baseball’
'Stay at home' 'Quarantine' No fans allowed Unless you are part of the ruling class, right? Do as I say, not as I do. COVID19
Getting fired soon. Envious child WhiteHouse
It’s going to be far worse than Obummer’s girlie throw. If Fauxi doesn’t wear a mask and gloves for the throw, then we’ll know he’s been lying to us all along.
Wreckless example. Going somewhere he doesn’t have to go, doing something he doiesnt have to do, being around people he doesn’t have to be around. Doing what he has asked others not to do.
kpel965 why not? hes been throwing fake pitches all this time
The man calling for sports to be cancelled this Fall is throwing out the first pitch....cool
Boy this is going to make Trump pissy
Expect a tweet from TBOS Trump saying 'this is no big deal'
Expect a change-up because that’s all he throws.
I'm sure is going to drive a certain narcissist in the White House crazy! 🤣😂🤣
Omg how distasteful
Big deal! 😡
Awww...does baseball not love the Racist-in-Chief enough to ask him?
My mom: Why’s HE getting invited there? My dad: “Because people think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread”.
👀
Why
Mr cancel life jumps at the privaliage to watch live sports and throw out first pitch? ? What a DICK!!!
Is he going to get to throw again after he throws one, two, three, into the dirt?
Just goes to show what Washington thinks about BunkerBoy
Good grief that wimpy guy? What a country looks like I’m done with baseball too.
Awesome!
Dr Fauci said he was honored which I’m petty sure is code for “suck it Trump”.
Make sure he spits on the ball.
He might get booed.
Fraud Fauci.
*Article about Fauci throwing first pitch* Liberals: Trump Trump Trump Orangeman bad Trump fascist 😂😂😂
AND THIS IS WHY I CALL HIM A FRAUD !!! DID HE REALLY NEED TO DO THIS ?
That is awesome 👏
I hope they all boo and throw shit at him
it would be hilarious to see him fall on his ass .. maybe break a hip? LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Will he be wearing a mask?
Dems know their zombie constituents love to celebrity worship. Can’t wait till he’s in the next Katy Perry video. 🙄
So... the quarantine is over?
Couple of thoughts: 1. He had better throw from the pitcher’s mound and not some lame-assed halfway point. 2. He had better be wearing a mask every second of the pre-game and the game
Scratch my balls.
Gag me. Mask me. omg, what has happened to my game.
🤣🤣🤣
Bet he throws like a girl.
NBA Lets put hateful stuff on our jersey NFL - We got kneeling and disregard for our country baseball - the close down king is going to open our season with a pitch during a pandemic that ended 6 weeks ago but we keep pushing the fear mixed with balls.
I’m confused. he was part of the whole team that now the virus is spread like rampant everywhere I thought? Why celebrate him? Think people
This is rich! I thought he is still of the mindset of stay at home if you don't need to go out. I guess this is a need!😆
Didn't he say he was against sportsball to restart?
I stand by my decision to not give a shit about the mlb, the nfl, or any other organization besides the ufc .
WONDER HOW USEFUL THIS EXPERT IS UNLESS HE STARTS TALKING ABOUT RESEARCH PROGRESS ON SOME FRONTRUNNER REMEDIES TO COVID 19. ITS POINTLESS TO TALK ISOLATION /HOSPITALIZATION- THIS SEEMS TO BE RESIGNING TO FAILURE - STAY HOME / HOSPITAL & WAIT FOR NATURE HEALING ITSELF - LIVE/DIE.
Fauci is NOT the top infectious disease specialist. He is a SHILL for the left. Cover of INSTYLE, throwing out pitches? WTF is he doing? WORK, MAN.
realDonaldTrump didn’t get invited 😂🤣😂 SupremeLoser
Because THIS is important now.
OddsBotkins Wow. That’s going to upset some Trumpers.
Ahhh how nice . He got the memo in 2017 that we would have a virus attack this country under Trumps watch and now he will get credit for “helping”
It's all about celebrity...
WTF go away
Ppl still watch baseball? Huh.
Yeah this is appropriate. Wtf
Idiot
Hopefully he doesn’t change is mind by Thursday
Your boss is gonna be upset with you, watch your back.
😂 had to read that headline again...Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, will throw out the first pitch..I thought it said 'First punch' and you have as photo of Fsuci & Trump. 😂 Thanks I needed a laugh.
Asshat won't reach the plate.
They should purposely not televise it so the media can tell us it went 100 mph right down the pipe with a wicked tail at the end.
Fuck FauciFraud
He's a Brooklyn boy all the way!! FauciIsAHero WearADamnMask
realDonaldTrump POTUS
🤮
🤦🏻
Sorry, he’s no expert... he’s flip flopped his theories so many times his thoughts look like a bowl of spaghetti!
Hopefully They Don't Throw Him Curve Ball
And this is a Capital P for Pandering! W, White. B, Black, A, Asian, H, Hispanic....
Andy_Lofgren Daddy’s gonna be mad.
And as is customary in this popular American tradition, the person who throws out the ceremonial first pitch of the MLB season will have their opinion boosted and congress shall adhere to and promote their every medical opinion.
That should bring great comfort to folks sucking on a ventilator, hallucinating from high fever while begging their God to show mercy.
Good for him. Have some fun Dr Fauci. You deserve it.
AssociatedPropaganda
He better wear a damn mask
Bet he misses the strike zone ... AGAIN!
This will upset fat Donald the Dump
I know he's become a favorite to many folks, but Dr. Fauci defended the WHO after they stated COVID was not transmittable from human-to-human in January. This alone makes him disqualified for his current job, never mind as a national hero.
America's biggest F***
You know donnie ain’t happy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You won't see trump pitching anything but another hairbrained scheme to disenfranchise the already compromised
Hypocrite much ?
Weird THEY DIDNT PICK realDonaldTrump. Oh right THE ENTIRE WORLD HATES HIM...
lol suck it realDonaldTrump
But schools can’t open.
I don't think he should but it will Probably piss off Trump, so go ahead.
An expert on what? He’s a very unimpressive little man who has been 100% wrong about everything.
I'm surprised Trump isn't demanding to do it now that he can't get booed.
CadetBoneSpurs reaction
And that helps the country how?
Is he the only epidemiologist in our country? What exactly has he done that warrants the non-stop praise and glorification by the media? He's a government bureaucrat, that's it - he doesn't even practice science anymore, no govt official at that level does.
DrAnthonyF practice, would you? throw a strike! you can do this, too! :) enjoy!
Trump will fire him the next day out of jealousy
This will be 45 when Doc is throwing the pitch
He deserves it, hopefully they let him stay and enjoy the game😀😃😄😁👍🤙
Fauci probably throws a nasty sinker, while realDonaldTrump just consumes hotdogs in the stands.
So the rest of us are shut down. FauciTheFraud
Zero self awareness!
Ah that so called 'expert' whom was wrong 80%+ of the time and told healthy people to go on a cruise during the pandemic. LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic
Isn’t that Brad Pitt?!?
This guy....he's been wrong from day 1.
He needs a special award for the most patient & patriotic Medical leader balancing this agenda from the WH .... Inspiring people like him exist and we are greatly appreciated...
Not trump. 🤣😭🤣🤣. He'd probably launch one into the dugout anyway a la Carl Lewis. George W.- Strike Obama - Strike TrumpIsALaughingStock - 'Where did it go?'
Awesome!
Now tell me again this guys doesn't have celebrity allures... I wouldn't listen to squat he has to say at this point.
That's not news
I hope they flattened his curve!
Ruh Roh. The great orange one is gonna be pissed!
Nobody is more fitting!!
I'm assuming many will throw out their jerseys as a result of this degenerate eugenicist
While you are at it, make him president for the last few weeks to elections. He's a scientist. He just can't screw it that hard like the fascist WILL 😉 She's not making masks a political thing...look up her educational background...
