In a statement to ABC News Sunday, Fauci said he didn't give consent to the GOP to use his comments from a March interview with Fox News in which he complimented the federal government's efforts against the coronavirus by saying, "I can't imagine that anybody could be doing more."

"In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate," Fauci said in the statement. "The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials."

Despite Fauci's objections, officials from the Trump campaign told ABC News they plan to continue to air the ad.


As usual, tRump and his fellow GOPers are unethical assholes who don't give a shit about truth. I really wish Dr. Fauci would consent to making a video calling out the lies.
