Trump Slammed Fauci As ‘Crazy’ Ahead Of Hearing
President Donald Trump criticized Fauci’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in a post on Truth Social, minutes before he began testifying. He said Fauci’s “ideas were CRAZY,” claiming he “overrode” Fauci on Operation Warp Speed, the plan to develop COVID-19 vaccines. He also alleged Fauci “strongly disagreed” with the theory the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, claiming Fauci was “always trying to protect China.” Trump said he “relied less and less” on Fauci over time, saying he made “too many bad calls, like on MASKS,” accusing Fauci of being an anti-masker before becoming a “super-masker.” Trump claimed he warned Biden that Fauci “was no good, either didn’t have a clue, or was dishonest,” but said Biden gave him “vast destructive power.” Some of Fauci’s diary entries were fiercely critical of Trump, whom Fauci described in some entries as “out of control,” “a total embarrassment” and “incorrigible.”
