Dr. Fauci gives the understatement of the year about the Trump administration

[Andy Meek]

• White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci sounded off in a new interview about what it's been like working with Trump administration officials.
• Among other things, Dr. Fauci admitted that his work with the administration has been "very stressful" at times.
• He cited, as an example, recent comments from former Trump surrogate Steve Bannon which seemed to insinuate that Fauci should be beheaded.

On the same day that coronavirus infections set another new all-time high Wednesday, topping 145,000 cases in the US, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci had to take time during a new interview with an Australian journalist to address former Trump surrogate Steve Bannon's insinuation that Fauci should be beheaded.

During a livestream of his online show in recent days, Bannon at one point mused that "I’d actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England." He called out Dr. Fauci as well as FBI Director Christopher Wray by name. "I’d put the heads on pikes, right? I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats: You either get with the program or you’re gone.” Twitter swiftly slapped a permanent ban on the account associated with that show. Fauci, meanwhile, expressed a mixture of amazement and befuddlement that his medical work would one day lead someone to make a statement like that about him, which came during a broader discussion with Fauci about what it's like to work with Trump administration officials.
