[h=1]Fauci dismisses death threats: 'It's my job'[/h]


National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci on Thursday responded to reports that he has been given a personal security detail due to receiving threats, telling CBS’s Gayle King that despite the pressure he is facing, “it’s my job.”

"You know, it's my job. This is the life I've chosen, and I'm doing it," Fauci said. "I mean, obviously there's a lot of pressure. I would be foolish to deny that. ... It's a job to do, and we've just got to do it."
Fauci, who has held his position since 1984, has reportedly been given a security detail amid an increase in threats made against him, and a small contingent of supporters of President Trump has vocally criticized his blunt assessments of the pandemic even as Trump and Fauci have both denied any rift.

The same kind of idiots who threaten anyone in the public eye. The internet is FULL Of absolutely bat**** crazy people who say they want to kill or rape anyone they disagree with (and their family).

Yeah, a long list of bat**** crazies.

  • Mickey Rourke In a TMZ video from 2015, this boxer-turned-actor directed his rage toward Trump, calling him a "big-mouthed bitch bully," saying he would "love 30 seconds in a room with the little bitch." Rourke has also expressed a desire to "give [Trump] a Louisville slugger."
  • Larry Wilmore In late February 2016, the host of Comedy Central's now-canceled "The Nightly Show" joked about then-candidate Donald Trump: “I don’t want to give him any more oxygen. That’s not a euphemism, by the way. I mean it literally. Somebody get me the pillow they used to kill [Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia and I’ll do it — I’ll do it!"
  • George Lopez During the Republican primaries in March 2016, the Mexican American comedian tweeted a cartoon image of former Mexican president Vincente Fox holding the decapitated head of Donald Trump aloft, with the caption "Make America Great Again."
  • Marilyn Manson Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson had to take his turn in the Trump-bashing festivities. In a teaser video for his song, "Say10," released just after the 2016 election, a Trump-like figure wearing a suit and a red tie lies decapitated on a concrete floor, in a pool of his own blood.
  • Rosie O'Donnell In July 2017, O'Donnell tweeted out a link to a game called "Push Trump Off A Cliff Again." This made many conservatives want to push her off a cliff, not POTUS. Also Read: Rosie O’Donnell Draws Fire for Tweeting ‘Push Trump Off a Cliff’ Game
  • Madonna Madonna told a crowd of thousands at the Women's March on Washington in January 2017 that she had “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House." The singer's profanity-riddled jab at the Republican administration provoked the anger of many conservatives.
  • Robert De Niro The actor is not afraid to express his disdain for the commander in chief. De Niro confirmed to ABC's "The View" in February 2017 that he would like to punch Trump in the face. He clarified earlier comments, saying "It wasn’t like I was gonna go find him and [really] punch him in the face, but he’s gotta hear it."
  • Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg's music video for "Lavender," released in March 2017, (literally) paints POTUS as a clown and orchestrates his death. At the video's end, the "Gin and Juice" rapper points a gun at the harlequin Trump figure and shoots. But instead of a bullet, a red flag that reads "Bang!" fires out of the gun.
  • Kathy Griffin The comedian landed in hot water in May 2017 after photos surfaced of her holding a fake bloody, decapitated Trump head. Griffin was promptly dropped from her annual New Year's Eve gig by CNN. Toilet stool company Squatty Potty also pulled its ads featuring Griffin
  • NYC Public Theater's "Julius Caesar" The nonprofit theater staged a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in May-June 2017 that made conservative viewers want to revolt. In the production, a Trumplike figure playing the title role is stabbed to death by a band of angry Senators.
  • Moby The musician's new video, released in June 2017, is simultaneously nostalgic and dystopian. In 1980s cartoon fashion, a giant Transformer-like Trump morphs into a swastika/dollar sign and wreaks havoc on a city before meeting a fiery, explosive demise.
  • Johnny Depp During an appearance at the U.K.'s 2017 Glastonbury music and arts festival, the actor tore into the president -- "I think Trump needs help" -- and then made an ill-considered joke: “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”
  • Anthony Bourdain Asked what he'd serve at a peace summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, the celebrity chef told a TMZ video crew in 2017: "Hemlock."
  • Big Sean In February 2017 rapper Big Sean rapped a verse about killing the President on his "I Decided" album. The lyrics are, “And I might just kill ISIS with the same icepick/That I murder Donald Trump in the same night with."
  • Pearl Jam At a show in Montana in August 2018 that served as a fundraiser for Sen. Jon Tester, the Seattle-based rockers released a cartoon poster commemorating the show that featured a bald eagle picking at the rotting corpse of President Trump on the White House lawn.

But what do you expect from Celebutards from Hollyweird who live and work in a land of make believe? :shrug:
 
Yeah, a long list of bat**** crazies.

But they're just playing. Fauci is receiving death threats. Though they may be playing as well, or bluffing.

It would be interesting to learn why the people were threatening him. What is it they object to?

I'm assuming (since they're idiots) that they think he's part of some conspiracy to take down Trump.

Perhaps Trump has some alter-ego on the web and is one of those sending these threats...

I think it indicative of how far off the rails the left has become.
How much they've lost their self control and composure.
They have lost literally any and all adulthood they ever had, and turned them into pouting, whining and active out 2 year olds in a severe temper tantrum.

??? Isnt he backing The Donald?

You think it's people on the left? Why? The people on the left are more likely to have been backing the social distancing and shut-downs longer and more consistently. And that is finally, the current party line.

Yeah, hes basically on team Trump so it seems the death threats would be coming from Trump haters not Trump supporters.

I kniw it hurts your feelings, but criticism of Trump and actual death threats are not the same thing. But you can't go against your Trumptard brethren.

After Limbaugh branded him as "deep state" i would doubt it. You are not capable of the leap of imagination it takes to think any Trumpian doesn't **** rainbows.

Because anything undesirable cones from the left!

Check my post history. I've been calling it like it is in this regard for a long time already.

All of the cited instances were well before any of the viral outbreak. (Or was that the other thread?) :shrug:

???Again...he's been backing...and gotten The Donald on track with...what liberals have been supporting, so your statement makes no sense. Esp. since we saw how he really felt a couple of weeks ago...face slapping and commenting on reining The Donald in. He's on 'our side,' fighting the good fight from the inside.

Plus he supports the science...which is not the normal position of many conservatives.
 
??? Isnt he backing The Donald?

He disagreed with Trump's "facts", which is why he has been replaced at plague briefings by William Barr.

Your opinion? If not, support your allegation with facts.

Thats just stupid from beginning to end. What is it 'your' side wants that my side supposedly doesnt?

Thats both false and stupid. Maybe you and Lursa can team up to put together an intelligent response here. Although I dont think youll be much help. She might be better off on her own.
