Tucker Carlson Goes Off on Dr. Fauci, Calls Him the ‘Chief Buffoon’

Fox News host Tucker Carlson took aim at top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, unleashing a furious tirade on Tuesday night and calling the highly respected director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases the “chief buffoon” at one point.

“This is buffoon-level stuff at that point and we are not doing this to mock the guy,” Carlson proclaimed. “I mean anyone who talks as much as Anthony Fauci does is apt to say some stupid things.”

Grousing that “some people think that he should be dictator for the duration of this crisis,” Carlson complained that Fauci—a public health expert—hasn’t been elected to anything and that the American people haven’t had any say in picking him.
