I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate: Dr. Anthony Fauci

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been treating US Prez and he knows every angle of thought of President Trump. Top government physician Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that an ad aired by Donald Trump’s re-election campaign was tampered with to make him appear to promote the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. “In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate,” Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, said in a statement sent to AFP.

The 30-second promotional ad praised trump's personal experience with the virus -- “President Trump is recovering from the coronavirus, and so is America,” it says -- before including a brief clip in which Fauci seems to applaud the president’s response to the pandemic. “I can’t imagine that anybody could be doing more,” Fauci is shown as saying, creating the clear impression he is referring to Trump.

But a complete clip of Fauci’s comments, made during an interview in March with Fox News, shows the doctor saying: “I have been devoting almost full time on this. I’m down at the White House virtually every day with the task force. It’s every single day. So, I can’t imagine that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more.” In a statement recorded on Sunday, Fauci said, “The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials.” Trump defended the clip, and his handling of the pandemic, and rebutted the doctor’s criticism.
