Dr. Anthony Fauci didn’t mince words in an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” this morning when responding to a clip of Fox News’ Jesse Watters castigating him at a recent Turning Point USA event.
Indeed, earth’s most famous epidemiologist went so far as to say Fox News should fire Watters “on the spot” when pressed by co-host John Berman.
As Mediaite reports:
During the speech, Watters described how ordinary citizens could create a viral moment by confronting Fauci in public, and filming it. But he used violent metaphors to do so:

The left’s response was predictable.
WATCH:
The incendiary, dangerous, violent rhetoric against Dr. Fauci continues at AmericaFest. Fox News host Jesse Watters tells them how to go after him to harass him in public: “Now you go in with the kill shot – deadly. Because, with an ambush, he doesn’t see it coming.” pic.twitter.com/V34YZwDdPD

Berman told Fauci that “Jesse Waters, who is a Fox News entertainer, was giving a speech to a conservative group where he talked about you, and suggested to the crowd that they ambush you with what he said was some kind of rhetorical kill shot. That was his exact word.”
Fauci called the comment “horrible,” and lamented “that just is such a reflection of the craziness that goes on in society.”

But, he adds: “He’s gonna go, very likely, unaccountable. I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him.” pic.twitter.com/K3X0V3jZdM

Conservatives made sure that liberals didn’t get away with glossing over the “rhetorical” aspect of Watters’ remarks—and that they had NOTHING to do with harming Dr. Fauci.
Rhetorical "kill shot" means clever persuasion with words.

CNN is turning it into a terror plot.
Idiots leave out the "rhetorical" part to Rupar it. https://t.co/oHsuy0DKPi
Full video that shows Fauci & CNN are lying to smear @JesseBWatters.

Fauci is so soft & arrogant that he wants Watters FIRED for saying people should ask Fauci about lying under oath RE Gain of Function Research. Sounds like an attack on the free press!https://t.co/SIaxYuj2LR
So, what do you think? And who’s side are you on: Team Watters or Team Fauci?

They are all corrupt. The news blow everything up to suit their views.
These idiots asking for Watters head because he said to use the words “Kill Shot” are really pretty stupid. They all must have gotten an “F” in English if they think “kill shot” means to kill somebody. It really is a sad world when people don’t know how to use English. They’re probably the same idiots that us they instead of he or she.
Maxine Waters said worse!
Feeling the power, Fauchi?
If anyone should be fired it is you. I understand that government employees can’t be fired. ( What a rediculous rule!). If you can’t be fired I’ll bet you can be demoted!! Maybe a transfer to the mail room. Maybe to housekeeping.
Gee, Watters wants to use Democrat Maxine Waters’ tactics on Dr. Fauci. And only now, when the Right is using the Left’s tactics, does the Left have problems with it!
