HeadlineJul 13, 2020

Trump and the White House continue to attack the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Over the weekend, the White House attempted to discredit him by distributing a document likened to an opposition research paper containing past comments made by Fauci. Fauci’s last briefing for the president came on June 2. Meanwhile, Trump retweeted a message today from the former host of “Love Connection” claiming the CDC is lying about COVID-19.
