In an interview with Fox News broadcast on Sunday, President Donald Trump described Doctor Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as an “alarmist,” The Hill reported.
During the contentious interview, anchor Chris Wallace pointed out that White House deputy chief of staff for communications Daniel Scavino posted to social media an image depicting Fauci as a “leaker” and an “alarmist.”
“Well, I don’t know that he’s a leaker. He’s a little bit of an alarmist,” Trump responded.
Stressing that he has a good relationship with the NIAD director, Trump argued that the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert has made a number of mistakes since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
