Congressman Matt Gaetz compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to a bad weatherman and claimed he had eroded trust in public health officials on Fox News last night.
The Florida Republican hit out at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director after the expert said political divisions and “mixed messages” were partly to blame for the COVID-19 death toll being high.
Speaking to Fox News, Rep. Gaetz said: “When I was talking to [Florida] Governor Ron De Santis, he lamented that the problems that the CDC and Fauci have had really erode the trust between the people and any public health officials.
“Think about it. Any relationship that you’re in, if someone is constantly changing the rules, you trust them less. And you see Fauci and CDC time and again moving the goalposts, and the American people are fed up with it.
“Dr. Fauci sort of reminds me of every bad weatherman: frequently wrong, but never in doubt.”
