Fauci Reveals He Has Received Death Threats And His Daughters Have Been Harassed
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that he has received death threats and his daughters have been harassed as a result of his high-profile statements about the coronavirus pandemic.
"Getting death threats for me and my family and harassing my daughters to the point where I have to get security is just, I mean, it's amazing," Fauci said….
….Fauci is not alone in receiving threats for work in the public health response to the pandemic. Local health officials around the country have reported getting threatening comments online.
Donald Trump is the accelerant
A comprehensive timeline of Trump encouraging hate groups and political violence.
That fact is something this country has not begun to deal with, including main stream media.
That fact is something too many have chosen to ignore, including people once close to me.
I can not shake what happened with a "friend" last night. She had sent an email asking for help with her new roommate, the father of a co-worker. She was not being successful reaching a man who thinks that "only 8. 2 % of the new stimulus package is going to Americans, and the rest is going to Iraq and Iran," because that is "what Democrats want."
To which I replied with — "So he's read all 5600 pages of the bill, then. Where the hell do these idiots come from? There is information out there for anyone willing to use honest critical thinking and do their own homework." I included three different sources with factual information, none of which I expected her housemate to accept.
Later I saw that she had deleted her email to me and knew exactly what was going on. She was protecting him.
She could have shared just the links I provided with him. Perhaps she did. But she also had to let me know she was not happy that I had voiced my disapproval.
A long history of excusing men’s bad behavior has now resulted in her dating a Trump supporter and no doubt being angry at me for stating the obvious about her Democrat bashing, CT believing, housemate.
That on top of yet another example of white folks behaving badly and endangering black lives has fried my last shred of patience.
Don’t ask me to tolerate the intolerable.
Neither Hitler or Trump would have had power without the support of supposedly "good" people.
That fact is something this country has not begun to face yet and we must.
The banality of evil can only thrive if we allow it to.
No more.
I'll walk away from long time friends and family before I help enable that.
