dr. anthony fauci. here is what jesse waters said at a conservative conference on monday. you got to ambush a guy like fauci, okay? this is how you do these ambushes, like o keeffe. you have to be respectful. because they ll turn the tables on you, and you can t have it blow up in your face. if you see fauci out and about and know he is coming to town, this is how you approach. do you mind, dr. fauci, if i ask you a few questions? he s going to say no, but you were polite. if he says, no, not right now, you say, no, no, we re going to address this right now. so then he s in trouble. now you go in for the kill shot. the kill shot with an ambush, deadly. he doesn t see it coming. this is when you say, dr. fauci, you funded risky research at a sloppy chinese lab.
