A White House spokesman called Fauci's remarks "unacceptable," the latest escalation in tensions between Trump and the top infectious disease expert.
The White House is strongly pushing back against an interview in which Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's leading infectious disease expert, said the U.S. is in a terrible position to face the coming months of the coronavirus pandemic.
To have any chance at this point of slowing this down, we need to put off merging households for the holiday until next year: CrappyHolidays this year so we can have HappyHolidays next year. 🎵GrandmaGotInfectedByTheCovid coming over to our house Christmas Eve.🎶 (Or not.)
Why? Is the virus suddenly also killing people under 70 in any statistically significant numbers?

I believe everything Dr. Fauci says God bless him and he is not being treated with respect that he deserves from Donald Trump. But we will have a new president and I hope he can work with Dr. Fauci and we can get rid of this virus for good!
Fauci squandered his credibility from the get-go. He may be right, but he hasn’t had the credibility to deliver the message for some time now.
Haven't gone to lrg family holiday event since losing their religion over a decade ago. I stopped getting immunizations at that time too. In turn I haven't had a bad flu since 2009. For me quitting religion, distant 'family' and vaccines gave me better health!
NicolleDWallace Why blast him? Who was the president? It wasn't Fauci. Every decision was ultimately made by Trump & America knows it! America also knows his history for NOT listening to experts, regardless of the situation!
NicolleDWallace Shut down now! Save Christmas!
Morning_Joe No one listens to him anymore...doom and gloom!
NicolleDWallace Everyone has a perfect right to visit with Gramps and Grandma on Thanksgiving. Also, to attend their subsequent funerals in person. (obligatory /s)
NicolleDWallace Fortunately Dr. Fauci will actually be listened to now!
So my healthy kids can't go to school for nine months, but an ACTIVELY SICK PERSON WITH COVID can break quarantine to go vote
Yeah Doc!
Morning_Joe Blame it on the Governors. They run the states.
We need a Dr. to declare Trump as mentally ill. He has some form of dementia.
We are our own worst enemies. The virus is nothing we can defeat directly, yet. The best we can do is hold it at bay until scientists and drug manufacturers can produce the necessary weapons to eliminate it or drive it into obscurity. Until then we need to rely on community will.
I have a GOP friend. She never seemed political, but she just wasn't open with me (she's always known I am a liberal). We were shopping the other day. I mentioned her mask wasn't covering her nose. She said nothing, but took off the mask and didn't wear it the rest of the day.
Morning_Joe Eddie G, Amen. 😞
Enough of this guy already
Don’t let Joe Biden steal your Presidency! The Republicans have to fight it tooth and nail, ask for donations to help pay for the best lawyers, but we can’t allow fraud! It’s time to wake up to the corruption that for sure there was 2016-2018 and for Obama’s two elections!
Good start by dumping trump
BrianKarem We’re working on it DrFauci
He's trying to speak sense into everyone but you have the orange menace rallying couch potatoes to do the opposite
Quit picking your nose in other words.
Watch out Bannons about!! 🤣
Strutting little rooster
Same Fauci whose been unsuccessfully working on an AIDS vaccine for 40 years?
99.8% survive and go back to living their lives. Most with none to mild symptoms. Live your life.
Well, realDonaldTrump is not being forcibly removed from office until January.
Biden stole President from Trump
Cuz of Trump
Won't happen, unfortunately. After all this is 'Merica.
We are already doing it. You can't go into a store without a mask. We social distance We were gloves and masks at work. We don't need the government getting in our lives more. We have therapeutics? More people are getting it because of more testing. Less people dying
cnn MSNBC. Someone please make. Dr. Fauci an offer. So he can leave that Bully.
Remember who advised Trump with most of this and how many times he has changed his stance. Need someone new to advise the WH no matter who is President
He looks like Ellen
Firefauci
Let's not forget him and this.
Fauci has been right all along. He’s a scientist!! Y’all are fools to not Believe him. People that don’t believe him are selfish and don’t care about any other living people and animals they can contaminate!!
I’m begging on everyone out there to please assist me financially I’m dying of hunger the Situation It’s very tough and critical over here right now in Nigeria so I plead with you people to assist me. Account details STANLEY EZEBUOLA AMADI 5900004342 ECOBANK.
Fauci is civil service and this dump prick thinks he can fire him.
If Trump wins it will be the end of American democracy!
Fauchi will be fired, the vaccine will be approved, and the virus will be eradicated just like all democrats.
NicolleDWallace Dr. Fauci speaks the truth. Trump lies and people die.
His ass is fired the day after the election.
Out with the old in with the new. He is flip-flop too much
He’s going to stop the Kardashians that just had a huge Halloween party .. young people gathered in Brooklyn and had a secret ...huge Halloween party.. etc. etc... But blame President Trump for all this... he can stop all folks from gathering
It does seem mighty strange that all of a sudden,Dr. Fauci makes an abrupt change in what he starts to say about the virus. The question is why is he doing it?Has anyone put pressure on him to say certain things & not others. What does he stand to gain or lose by changN his tune?
NicolleDWallace The a-holes already stated they are not controlling Covid, so flu is certainly not on the radar.
Victoria, Australia. We had a bad Covid problem. Now almost no cases, not just here, but Australia wide, 25,000,000 people. Life getting back to normal. It saddens me, to know 230,000+ Americans have died, but if Trump wins it could go over 500,000. Millions with comorbidity.
Science is here
Truth, bruh!
NicolleDWallace Fauci is a true profile in strength and courage.
NicolleDWallace I guess if you can't beat the virus then beat the doctor who could save America. Ridiculous!
Fauci is a good doctor. If the covid was OUR ONLY concern we could afford to do what he suggests It ain't so we ain't.
We love Dr. Fauci !!!
Fauci can say anything because he is unelected beware!
Fire Trump!!!
It's hard to think of a bigger, more dangerous fraud than Fauci.
I know this ONE THING....if I wake up on Wednesday and this election isn't decided, I will buy a hat that says, I voted for the other guy. People are willing to let the country suffer at the hands of an unstable, power hungry, controlling, demon possessed fool..yall work it out
andyroddick Stick it in your ear Fauci! ... you too Tennis player
Hire them, trust them, but watch them like a hawk 😂 🤣 👌
The more Dr. Fauci talks the less credible he becomes.
lachic288 White House can’t accept responsibility for anything. Tomorrow, let’s change that.
NO Dr Fauci. We will NOT cancel Thanksgiving or Christmas!! Sorry !! We are done with the virus BS. DONE.
In January Dr. Fauci said nothing to worry about.
NicolleDWallace Unfortunately the worst human being to ever occupy the White House is standing directly in the way of that abrupt change. The wellbeing of millions of Americans, even the marks that support him, depend on him being abruptly removed from office tomorrow. VOTE VoteBidenHarris
King Dipshit doesn’t like that.
NicolleDWallace He’s tight. He better start putting out applications.
NicolleDWallace Perfect timing! As always, he is brilliant.
Yep. Hospitals are filing up with covid patients
NicolleDWallace He’s not playing politics. He’s playing science.
How can anyone still care at all about anything this guy says?
NicolleDWallace Poor Dr Birx trying to do what she can, even though she's compromised -
NicolleDWallace Shut down the goddamn country
NicolleDWallace It needs to make an abrupt change to its national leadership as the holiday season nears...
Yea u want to fire him why cause he tell the truth about the crona u and china want to kill everyone in usa
What if he is correct!! Then what does the WH do!! Nothing just let people die.
The entire trump administration is unacceptable.
Unacceptable is what I told my oncologist when he said I had prostate cancer but I listened to him and he saved me.
Fascism in the Trump regime, is not acceptable to most Americans.
Fauci is a self declared expert on infectious diseases, whereas there are 35,000 REAL DOCTORS IN PRACTICE who say social distancing and masks are not the answer
Get Rid Of Trump Tomorrow VOTE VoteTrumpOut2020 TaxEvaderTrump TrumpChinaBankAccount
Trump is unacceptable. Four years he has damaged the White House, elicited supremacists to be ready on call to harm the BLM supporters, Democrats, Americans at the polls, advocating quacks, disregard for humanity by caging children, alienated our allies, etc. UNACCEPTABLE?🇵🇷
Well Fuck the Whore House, they need to get off the Cocaine ..
The White House is currently occupied by Russian stooges
He's the only one telling the truth Trump & his flunkies just lie after lie after fucking lie
A professional guy with ethics tells the truth, acts with integrity. Trump finds this unacceptable - no surprise there then!
False Narrative driven by the liberal media.
Kayleigh McAneny just called West Dakota for Trump. Weird.
They just don’t like the truth
Dr. Anthony Fauci, might be the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, but not the only leading infectious disease expert and it's always good to have more voices.
Dr. Fauci is just starting a fact that any one, with half of a brain can understand.
The guy who has been wrong all along should not be advising on anything...
Fauci has know since at least July that most Covid “cases” are false. The US routinely uses 42-45 cycles, Fauci says any positive test above 35 cycles is a false positive. T
My word. The response from the White House is a massive joke. They must think the entire country and world is as gullible as MAGAts. 🙄😷🖕🏼
Why are they so afraid of the truth?
What about Mark meadows who said - surrender to covid, already!
The alternate-reality show host of the WH has always found truth to be unacceptable.
Actually,Fauci is the ONLY thing “acceptable” in this White House !!!
He told the truth
一步错，步步错。
Whatever. He’s doing his job - if we listened to him, everyone just wore the mask and didn’t rush opening back up so Trumps numbers looked good then we’d be in a much better place. Ironically trump would have been in a better position politically if he put the people first.
I don’t need Dr. Fauci to tell me that. I can find that out by going to work and looking up in our internal computer system to see how many Covid patients we have admitted.
But true.......believe Fauci. He’s the expert.
That’s because the White House finds anything other than blatant lies to be “unacceptable”.
When has telling the truth been unacceptable? Yes, the outcome is unacceptable, but blasting the messenger is a disgrace. Do something about it then you codwaddle of a president
