President Trump on Sunday retweeted a call from one of his supporters to fire Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor on the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force.
The tweet came from former congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine, who accused Fauci of downplaying the danger of the coronavirus outbreak. Lorraine launched an unsuccessful primary challenge last month against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s seat in California.
“Fauci is now saying that had Trump listened to the medical experts earlier he could’ve saved more lives. Fauci was telling people on February 29th that there was nothing to worry about and it posed no threat to the US public at large,” Lorraine wrote.
“Time to #FireFauci,” she added.
Trump then retweeted the call to fire one of the top members of his coronavirus crisis response team.
“Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape,” Trump wrote. “I banned China long before people spoke up.”
