'tRump Picked The Wrong Guy To Pick A Fight With'
'tRump Picked the Wrong Guy to Pick a Fight With,' Daily Kos, Oct. 13, 2020.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is the nation’s top infectious disease expert with a career spanning six administrations. He has seen and gotten along with all. His relationship with the current administration can best be described, at best, as “complicated.” Over the course of the last year, tRump has attempted to do to Fauci what he has done to everyone else in his maladministration: dominate him in an attempt to corrupt and ultimately break him.

The Trump campaign’s entirely predictable response was to double down. It refused to either admit error or take the ad down. According to Trump Campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh: "These are Dr. Fauci's own words… directly from Dr. Fauci's mouth." To hell with context. (I added that).
