Fauci Facepalms Recalling Rose Garden Superspreader Trump Event: ‘I Said, ‘Oh My Goodness.’ Nothing Good Can Come Out of That’ — WATCH

Anthony Fauci facepalms

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday night where he was asked if he was surprised that Donald Trump contracted coronavirus.

Said Fauci: “I was worried he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask. When I saw that on TV I said (face palms with both hands) ‘oh my goodness.’ Nothing good can come out of that. That’s gotta be a problem. And then sure enough it turned out to be a superspreader event.”

Dr. Fauci says he was “absolutely not” surprised that President Trump got sick with coronavirus after seeing POTUS at what “turned out to be a super-spreader event” at the White House. https://t.co/Iq75GoCErk pic.twitter.com/iDWEaoX582

Fauci was also asked if the White House has been controlling of his interaction with the media.

Said Fauci: “You know, I think you’d have to be honest and say yes. I certainly have not been allowed to go on many, many, many shows that have asked for me. … You know, I think there has been a restriction, but– but it doesn’t, it– it– it isn’t consistent.”

Has the White House been controlling when Dr. Fauci can speak with the media?

“To be honest… yes,” says Dr. Fauci. “There has been a restriction… but, it isn’t consistent.” https://t.co/LXBve3PUWC pic.twitter.com/YOoNLnAHc9

Fauci also talked about the threats to his family and how working for Trump has changed his life.

Said Fauci: “That’s sad. The very fact that a public health message to save lives triggers such venom and animosity to me that it results in real and credible threats to my life and my safety. But it bothers me less than the hassling of my wife and my children.

Once an avid runner, Dr. Anthony Fauci, now 79, power walks. Since receiving death threats, he is now accompanied by a security detail. https://t.co/lbtcL5htQS pic.twitter.com/Q3KG0kV0rV
