This afternoon, the half of the country that’s sane was lamenting Dr. Tony Fauci’s absence from today’s coronavirus presser. Many took to social media asking where the heck is he?

Apparently, they’re not paying very close attention. The President, who brooks no criticism, said he’s “at a Task Force meeting”.

Sure. 

Fauci on Trump Sunday, “I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down.”

That blasphemy coupled with the viral video clips of him squirming uncomfortably while the President bloviated sealed his fate.

Today, Fauci said, “I’m not fired yet.” Just sidelined.
