Following reports that President Trump will fire Dr. Anthony Fauci following the election, ABC host Joy Behar urged Fauci to quit his job and start a television career.
“Get off Trump’s bandwagon all together and go on television and become the media darling at CNN, MSNBC, and I bet they’ll put you on at Fox,” Behar said.” I was a civil servant, OK. You cannot fire a civil servant so easily. It’s impossible.”
Trump has been feuding with Fauci since the pandemic began, according to media reports. In an interview with the Washington Post last weekend, Fauci said the U.S. “could not possibly be positioned more poorly” heading into the winter with coronavirus cases peaking in many states across the country.
“It’s not a good situation. All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly,” Fauci said.
The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 eclipsed 230,000 over the weekend as cases continue to rise, according to Johns Hopkins University.
