“Wow, that look on Fauci’s face at the end for the hack reporter just reeks of contempt and disgust. It was his best public moment during this entire three-month process.”
Someone described it as a “death stare”. The media shot themselves in the foot...again. And Trump was right there to step on it.
Agreed.
I like Fauchi, and Birx.
Lots of fake news on the cable, local news, and the internet.
I live in Michigan, and I may not agree with the Governor of MI.
However she did not ban flags, of gardening.
I’ve been roto tilling , and working in my garden for the last week.
You may have to wait to go to the green houses to get your tomatoes, and pepper plants , but it’s still goes below freezing here at night.
So....
backtracked?
because Trump had his words and when he spoke them “on tape”, figuratively and literally.
I think you meant to respond to someone else. I never said “backtracked’.
What I hope really drove it home for Fauci was what they asked him after President Trump left the room. The blonde asked if once the economy was opened, he would stand up there and report to them exactly what he advised the President to do and whether or not he took the advice. You could see Fauci looking at her like, “...what?” I think at that point it finally started to sink in.
So to be clear, I’m not defending Fauci on everything. He’s not above criticism. I just don’t think he’s deep state. Could be wrong. I think the media was looking for some kill shot by driving a wedge between Trump and Fauci, and it didn’t work. They’re back to their usual “the walls are closing in” or “beginning of the end for Trump” language...been hearing that since 2015 lol.
Excellent article.
Pardon the nit-picking, but I did notice one very small (and inconsequential) error in your transcription:
Transcription:
Reporter: “What did he do? Did he lift the travel restrictions?”
Actual audio (what I heard):
Reporter: “What did he do? Was that the travel restrictions?”
As I said, this is just not-picking on my part - it makes no difference to the point if the article.
Thanks to these daily updates I don’t have to watch this nauseating state of affairs. My obvious question is why Trump doesn’t give time outs to stupid reporters - like a couple days suspension from the press room?
I suspect that's the case for the near future (years). I'd like to see someone challenge Fauci on his apparent confidence that a vaccine will be a reality in even 2 years time.
As far as I know, there are absolutely no vaccines for any of the 200+ viruses that cause common colds, though they've been in the works for 70 years. Many of those cold viruses are versions of the corona virus.
CS Lewis book That Hideous Strength there is a quote that says something to the likes of “Your average Briton (and he is comparing the average to the so called elites in the Universities) when they read their national paper don’t believe a word of it - except the Sports section”
Jonathon Karl should be banned from any further briefings. He and the rest of the hacks aren’t interested in gathering information of facts. They are there to promote their, and their network’s (or newspaper’s) agenda to get Trump.
**********
Karl is the current President of the White House Correspondents’ Association. He is the one who decides which reporters get to be in the room for any and all of the pressers.
So he ain’t gonna get kicked out anytime soon.
My mother was a Hearst (and other) newspaper reporter from WWI into the 1930s. She told a story about a murder in Washington, DC she covered. She and other reporters took her shoes and made imprints outside the murdered man’s window; took photos, and then they all wrote about a mysterious veiled woman in black seen at the crime scene. They kept it up until the chief of police called them in and told them to cut it out. Her motto was “a good story’s a good story whether it’s true or not.” By the way, she said William Randolph Hearst was the best boss she ever had.
Too bad her parents never gave her a glare when she acted up, now we have a rude beotch hate filled activist at WH pressers.
Then Trump should just ignore him.
All President Trump has to do is tell his people to not let him in the interview room. This WHC thing has no governmental standing and the Presidency controls who can come and go whoever on the WH grounds and buildings period.
