Fighting Fauci: From Ridicule to Death Threats, Attacks Continue
July 29, 2021 -- A 56-year-old man was arrested Tuesday and charged with threatening Anthony Fauci, MD, the United States' top infectious disease doctor and chief medical advisor on COVID-19 to President Joe Biden.
In one of the threats reportedly made, a man threatened to drag Fauci and his family into the street, beat them to death, and set them on fire.
It's far from the only example of an ongoing trend to attack Fauci.
Among others:
On April 1, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), introduced H.R. 2316, the Fire Fauci Act. It proposes reducing Fauci's salary to zero. As of July 29, 15 Republican lawmakers have signed on as co-sponsors.
