Chris Cuomo: Why Put Dr. Fauci in the Position to ‘Admit That Trump Is Wrong or Lying’ About Coronavirus

CNN’s Chris Cuomo is expressing concern about the dangers of Dr. Anthony Fauci telling Americans “the truth about Trump” regarding the coronavirus.

On Monday night during his closing arguments, Cuomo discussed the awkward position Fauci is in when it comes to President Donald Trump and the American people.

He also expressed concern as he noted Fauci’s absence during the Monday evening coronavirus briefing.

“Not seeing Dr. 👤Anthony Fauci on stage today worried me, and it should worry you,” Cuomo warned, adding, “He’s become like America’s grandpa. He gives conscience and comfort and fact to this country and uniquely so.”

During the briefing, Trump alluded to the idea of reopening the country as early as seven days from now, as previously reported on IJR.

Cuomo’s segment went on to highlight Trump’s exchange with a news reporter who had asked about Fauci.

In reference to reopening the country, the reporter wanted to know whether or not the president thought Fauci would agree with his stance. Trump only responded by saying Fauci “doesn’t not agree” with him.

To Cuomo, Fauci’s truth-telling could be “more dangerous than the coronavirus.” It could also lead to adverse effects that may impact everyone.
