Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) had some choice words for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the career bureaucrat who announced his retirement earlier this week. “I’m just sick of seeing him,” the governor told supporters at a GOP rally in Seminole County on Wednesday. “I know he says he’s going to retire. Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac.”
Analysis:
Most Americans are sick of seeing Fauci, who is constantly on television scolding them for refusing to mask their toddlers. He’s been the subject of multiple children’s books and appeared on the cover of numerous glossy magazines posing like a goddamn movie star. Speaking of which, Brad Pitt portrayed him on Saturday Night Live. You can find his likeness on prayer candles, bobblehead dolls, and Christmas ornaments. There is even an Anthony Fauci coloring book for emotionally unstable perverts.
Fauci was revered as a celebrity and quasi-religious figure by arrogant nerds and other preternaturally obnoxious individuals. A more humble scientist might have shunned the spotlight, but Fauci reveled in it. He never missed an opportunity to congratulate himself and remind Americans how lucky they were to have him in charge. He recently accepted an award typically reserved for Major League Baseball players, and coined a new term—”the Fauci Effect”—to explain how he became the embodiment of “consistency,” “integrity,” and “truth.” He routinely dismissed his critics as “anti-science.”
