President Trump retweeted a post Sunday evening that included a call for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be fired.
Fauci indirectly accused the government of ignoring his advice to institute social distancing measures in mid-February in an interview with CNN on Sunday morning, claiming that lives “could have been saved.”
Later that day a video from Februrary 29 resurfaced showing Fauci on the Today Show telling Americans that they did not need to alter their behavior, despite the Chinese coronavirus pandemic taking hold.
President Trump wrote, “Sorry Fake News, it’s all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up. Thank you.” His tweet included the Today Show video of Dr. Fauci accompanied by a tweet from former GOP congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine demanding Fauci’s resignation:
“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. Time to #FireFauci…”

TAPPER: “Would it have saved lives?”
DR. FAUCI: “OBVIOUSLY.”
