Dr. Fauci Downplays Trump’s Injury From Assassination Attempt

Dr. Anthony Fauci has downplayed Trump’s injury to his ear after the 45th President was shot last week in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Fauci told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Trump’s wound was “superficial.

The former NIH Director shared, “I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage.”

“It seems to have been a superficial wound to the ear, and that’s all,” added Fauci.

Fauci downplaying the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is rich coming from the same man who lied and attempted to cover up the origins of Covid that killed millions of Americans, kept our children out of schools, and locked down our country based on ZERO scientific evidence.… pic.twitter.com/jhatIHBsLY

Fauci, the embattled former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who advised both Trump and President Biden during the COVID-19 pandemic, was asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about Trump’s injuries.

Trump, 78, dove to the ground after gunfire from would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks erupted and nicked his ear as he spoke at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday. Trump emerged surrounded by Secret Service agents with blood gushing from his right ear and has since worn a bandage over it.

“I don’t think there is much more to it,” Fauci said on Friday night. “I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear, according to the physicians who examined him. There was no other further damage.”

Fauci is a complete and total scumbag. Now….according to the left, an assassination attempt is “superficial.”
You know what isn’t superficial? What you did to millions of people during Covid and the HIV crisis before that, you murderous runt. https://t.co/DjYxH441Kj

Per The Hill:

Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci denounced questions around former President Trump’s health following the failed assassination attempt a week ago, noting he was suffering from a “superficial wound.”

“I don’t think there is much more to it,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Friday, after watching clips of Trump speaking about his ear, which was grazed by a bullet during the shooting in Pennsylvania. “I mean, from what we’ve seen and what we’ve heard, it was … a bullet shot that grazed his ear and injured his ear.”

Fauci said that according to the physicians who examined the former president, there was no further damage.

His comments come after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed a roof with a direct line to the former president and began firing off shots during a campaign stop in Butler, Pa., just outside Pittsburgh. Crooks and one event attendee were killed, and two others were critically injured, per the Secret Service, which has come under intense scrutiny following the event.

Fauci, who served under both the Trump and Biden administrations, added that he thinks the former president is “in the clear” related to the “bullet itself.”
