He was, the Trump administration at least.

 

He did not say it was absolutely fase, he said it was out of context, which it clearly was not.

 

You're entitled to your own opinion, you're not entitled to your own facts. Seems I heard that from a prominent Republican, seems appropriate here.

 

Thank goodness the days for "alternate facts" are coming to a close.

Please do try to explain what he was talking about in his response to the question: Have you ever seen this big of a coordinated response by an administration?

 

If he in fact was not talking about the Trump administration's response?

 

And you talk of alternate facts LOL

You wear Fox-glasses. Explaining anything to you is a lesson in futility.

My thought exactly. The only reason I'm reading this thread. 

They can be very creative when it comes to alternate realities and I get a kick out of it.

Not sure what Fox has to do with it. Trying to explain your position on this should be a lesson in futility.

 

You just need to quote the words he said that would communicate that despite being asked about the Trump administration's response, that in his answer he was NOT talking about the Trump administration's response.

We will miss their spin and creative alternative facts after the election.

The person speaking the words, who has been totally a-political in this, said they were taken out of context. 

But you know better.

Well he seems keen not to be seen to support Trump. So maybe he is trying to be a-political, if so fair enough up to him. Obviously he does not appreciate his words being used as a positive for Trump.

 

However, the fact remains as far as the Trump administration's response goes he said what he said.

Well it was not completely different was it, at most you could argue he was not talking about Trump as an individual but his administration as a whole. 

 

Even the articacal states: he was discussing the broader effort, including by the White House coronavirus task force.

 

As to why Fauci has come out with a statement about it, you would need to ask him. I am guessing it has something to do with the upcoming election LOL

Articacal? Oh, you mean article. Covfefe is contagious.

Dr. Fauci has disowned the use of his statement in a Trump ad, has said it was intended to describe health professionals. Frontline ones, not the medical sycophants in the White House. Looks like musicians aren't the only ones to get stuck with Trump and his campaign managers misappropriating their words.

No point in this discussion, since you know better than the person who spoke.

Not really.

While I started out two years ago baffled, then amazed, then enraged at Trump himself, for the last year I've had the same reactions to understanding that roughly one in three people in America think like he does and are simply batรhเt crazy.

 

They will not go away after the election. He has given them a voice and eventually they will find another demagogue to rally around. 

 

That makes me fearful for the future of my country. The important thing is that many Americans have awakened to the threat and hopefully will kill it in the crib next time.

I used your very words as such:

 

"Well maybe being used is a positive for Trump."

 

NOW do you see how taking words out of context isn't fair to the person originating those words?

It's a new wrinkle. Twist a statement into an ad hominem attack. Ignoring, of course, the fact Trump sprays them on Twitter like confetti at a wedding.

If you say so. He said what he said.

Dr. Fauci said what he said, then his words were twisted, taken out of context, the 45 ad people created a falsehood.

 

You posted what you posted, I took your words and twisted them, took them out of context to create a falsehood.

 

I really cannot make it any simpler than that. If you don't get it, then you just don't get it.

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," his statement added.

 

Surely that is plain and simple for all to see and Fauci was talking about the efforts of "federal public health officials", that is, when they eventually swung into action.

 

It is pertinent to note that trump played down the virus in January February and March as being "something that would disappear" and "was just like the flu" and not only that, he had disbanded the task force of scientists that Obama had put in place to combat such an event.

 

So for anyone on here, even a "proud boy" to say otherwise is just utter, pure nonsense and tries to gloss over the fact that trump's response was ignorant, late and criminal in nature.

Except they were not taken out of context, or twisted. He was talking about the Trump administration's response and he said what he said.

Anyways, I am also done with this subject now.

You obviously didn't bother to look at the link I sent you. 45 supporters always, and I mean ALWAYS, respond in one or more of the following:

 

(D)eny
(I)gnore
(L)ie
(D)eflect
(O)bfuscate

 

NOW we're done.
