Fawcett says he did not allow it to be used in Trump campaign advertising


The Trump campaign says it will continue to advertise Fawcett’s objections.

“In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate,” Fawcett said in a statement. “The comments I thanked without my permission in the announcement of the GOP campaign were taken in the context of a comprehensive statement made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials.”

Despite Faucci’s objections, Trump campaign officials told ABC News they plan to continue the ad.

“The videos are of nationally broadcast television interviews in which Dr. Fawcett was praising the work of the Trump administration. The words spoken are accurate and straight from Dr. Fawcett’s mouth,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtho said in a statement.

In a tweet Sunday evening, Trump said the statements in the video “really are Dr. Fawcett’s own words,” adding that “extraordinary” work has been done by his administration, according to certain governors.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering, U.S. Covid-1 is the world’s leading cause of death, with more than 7,000,000 deaths and 21 more than 21,000 deaths.

Since March, the seven-day average of newly registered cases in the country has more than doubled from 19,418 to 47,946, according to the Covid Tracking Project. The seven-day average for newly reported deaths rose from 500 to 694.

CNN reported Fawcett’s reaction to the political ad on Sunday afternoon.

The front line between FFK and the administration is the latest in a growing strained relationship between the Pau medical expert and the president.

The president has repeatedly rejected Fauci’s advice and analysis since the epidemic began – however, Fauci has been cited several times in support of the administration’s policies.

During the president’s first debate, Trump made a statement that Fossey had said before changing his stance that “masks are not good.” Fawcett told ABC News that his initial concerns were misunderstood.

“What I’ve been hearing over the last few months is that people don’t recommend wearing masks where conversations don’t go,” he said.

In an interview with CBS Radio on Friday, Fauci described the Sept. 26 White House incident in which Trump named Amy Connie Barrett as a Supreme Court nominee for the “Super Spreader Event.”

In addition to Trump, many members of the administration, the G.O.P. Leaders and other VIPs, including the first lady, test positive for the virus in the days following the incident.

“It was a situation where people were packed together and not wearing masks. So the data speaks for itself,” Fawcett said in an interview.
