They won’t take the ad down. Networks shouldn’t have run this latest misleading Trump ad. Fauci is non-partisan and shouldn’t be used in a political ad. Fauci should quit. Trump isn’t listening to him, anyway.

New Trump campaign ad with yet another misleading clip job, suggesting Fauci (in March) is praising Trump. Rather rich given how Trump is always knocking Fauci for being wrong. Fauci is actually talking about the workload of the task force! …. pic.twitter.com/r5v3VBkIkv

For months, I've been trying to book interviews with top Trump administration health officials, including Dr. Hahn and Dr. Redfield, and the interview requests keep getting rejected or slow-walked. Much harder than any other bookings with Trump administration officials. https://t.co/Lo541m6LMR

Dr. Anthony Fauci says that the Trump campaign featured his words in an ad this week without his consent and out of context. The ad uses an excerpt from an interview Fauci gave in March about the coronavirus task force.https://t.co/wXZfCpmO07
