Anthony Fauci (79) is really mad! The prominent American immunologist does not want President Donald Trump to use it for electoral publicity (74). The Republican’s campaign team should no longer use a campaign video for which Fauci’s statements were used without his consent and inconsistently, the health expert told CNN on Monday.
“I think it’s really unfortunate and really disappointing that they did that. It is so clear that I am not a political person. And I have never, directly or indirectly, supported a political candidate. “
Fauci: Statements “completely” taken out of context
A Trump commercial used an interview quote from Fauci that gave the impression that he was saying that in the fight against coronavirus, no one could have done more than Trump. Fauci is director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and part of the White House coronavirus task force.
Fauci on Monday renewed his criticism that statements in an interview published in March had been “completely” taken out of context. Fauci called it “outrageous” if Trump’s campaign team considered using it for more campaigns. “That could backfire on you.”
Trump’s challenger, Joe Biden (77), has already reacted to Fauci’s announcement. With his own video, he mocks the president of the United States.
Fauci criticizes the events of Trump’s election campaign
In addition, the immunologist Fauci was critical of Monday’s election campaign events, of which Trump wants to celebrate four this week alone. “We know this creates problems,” Fauci said with a view to the gathering of many people without a mask. In view of the rapidly increasing number of infections in many parts of the US, this is even more problematic.
Trump, who recently contracted the corona virus, is running for re-election on November 3. In the United States of about 330 million people, there are about 7.8 million confirmed infections with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2. Around 215,000 people died after the infection. (nim / SDA)
