Later he recommended double masking.
Then he was caught at a baseball game violating his own recommendations.

He pulled the mask down for a few minutes to drink water. He was outdoors. The people next to him were his wife and a close friend. So FO with that BS.

The photo shows he wasn’t drinking, he was looking at his phone.

There was no one around him but his family. Give it a break.

They might get such a significant amount of credible threats that warrants it.

If there's a credible threat, then it's warranted. I don't know who's threatening Pompeo or Bolton, haven't seen much about that on any online forums, but I've definitely seen a lot of unhinged RWNJ vitriol, hate and threats directed at Fauci online.

Iran.

Trying reading a newspaper sometime. (But hurry since they will soon all be censored by meta)

Fauci is more threatened by us citizens who follow clown face than foreign governments.

Fauci has security. It’s just that taxpayers are no longer on the hook for it.

It is taxpayers who he is in danger from. Seems only right that taxpayers should pay for his security.

You could say that about anyone in government who has experienced a death threat. If there is one, you investigate and prosecute.

You don’t provide taxpayer provided security for every instance for all of time going forward.

Are you always this obtuse, or is it just on Fridays?

Personal insults indicate a lack of debate skills.

If he wants security he can pay for it privately. Just like he is.

It’s a difference of opinion.

It’s difficult to have an intelligent debate with someone who refuses to engage in objective reality.

Trump didn’t cut Fauci’s security detail to the taxpayers money.

Right? Why do they pretend this hasnothing to do with retribution or partisanship?

Either they are stupid or they think we are.

Because admitting that is admitting they’re in a cult and anything their leader does is ok with them.

I don’t agree with everything Trump does but I agree with this decision.

Why? Because you think Trump did this to save money or because you think it’s ok for Trump to openly target his enemies?

Because Fauci wasn’t entitled to taxpayer security in the first place!

Why not? He was receiving taxpayer security because some people are mad at him because of the pandemic (even on this thread), because of his job. Seems very reasonable that he would receive taxpayer security while receiving threats because of his job. It happens for other public employees, when they receive threats because of their jobs.

Seems reasonable while he was working in his official role. But he stepped down in 2022. He isn’t owed lifetime government funded security. Seems reasonable for him pay for whatever security he feels necessary at this point

And it’s totally a coincidence that Trump pulled it now, after vilifying the man for years and the day after he let his militia out of prison (who have since openly talked about retribution).

All this bullshit about length or availability of taxpayer funded security is a deflection, pure and simple.

Is it normal for the president to realize more than 1,000 goons, who have already committed violence in his name? They were found guilty in a court of law. Now they are roaming around our streets (I would take an illegal alien over them anytime!)

Oh give it a rest. Your guy sent a man who killed two cops from prison to his comfy house. Pardon power isn’t a new thing and the person who abused it most was Biden.

Did Biden put who he perceived as an enemy in danger by cutting off their security? Nope, because he isn’t a spiteful (fill in the blank) like the current occupant of the WH. But as other posters have pointed out, magas aren’t capable of having a sane rationale conversation. Do you also argue with everyone you work with?

Are you kidding me right now? Don’t you recall Trump’s request for more security after the first assassination attempt? Or how about when politicians were asking for greater security when protesters were outside the door of SCOTUS judges post Roe being overturned? Do you not remember the recent past??

All of those requests were granted, so what is your point?

He’s not been granted lifetime security. He had a security detail while the threat level was still elevated. Trump isn’t removing the security detail because Fauci’s no longer in danger.

Wrong. He had protection not because or his position (NIAID directors do not have protection and Fauci dir not have it either before 2020). He was given one as a government employee who was the target of death threats due to his work. And by rhe way, the reason of the death threats is the torrent of lies that trump and his accolites promoted online by o cover up for Trump’s own failures during Covid.

Just go to Foxnews and look at the article about the removal of Fauci’s security. All comments are great, Fauci is a criminal, somebody who made billions with covid and is responsible for the death anr suffering of w million Americans. This is the average Foxnews reader snd you know that you just need a handful of crazies with a gun to act. This is why Fauci needed protection and trump is basically saying go and get him, and if something happens to him i certainly dont take any responsibility

Agree. The “liberals” PP should provide cites on who was not bothered in the aftermath of the UHC CEO assassination. Show who in Democratic leadership was not bothered/did not care. Back up your claims.

Agree. He does not need a govt funded security detail anymore

The guy only got detail because the current president did nothing to tamp down his follower’s invective towards the man.

None of them were federal employees who were under threat because the former and present President told anyone who would listen that they were villains.

Your false equivalency is false.

And your reply demonstrates how you clearly know nothing about how the USG works at the higher and highest levels when there is a threat assessment.

Only that there is no review made and nobody determined that there are no longer threats against Fauci. Is just trump settling scores by going after his enemies . Trump himself admitted it when asked about the removal of the protection. He did not say that it was mo lo get needed as there were no threats, he just said Fauci made a lot of money, he made a lot or money and can pay for it by himself. If anything Trump played again on the conspiracy theories that Fauci was in cahoots with china and made billions on the back of Americans who died.

That poster was being kind to you as your responses clearly demonstrate that you are utterly unfamiliar with how the USG works.

These things are not differences of opinion. Clearly the relevant parties in the USG reviewed these threats and decided security was warranted. Pulling these details is NOT because the threats were deemed no longer an issue, but because the current POTUS is acting petty towards Bolton and Pompeo and cavalier towards Fauci.

So he deserves to be murdered?

Well since the current US president has verbally assaulted them and has suggested his supporters do his violent bidding before (1/6), I'm going to say yes it is warranted. He will get his jollies if they are killed, which is precisely why we need to protect them.
