Pres. Trump: “People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots”

Pres. Trump is attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert and White House Task Force Member, as the U.S. coronavirus death toll tops 220,000 and hospitalizations increasing more than 5% in 42 states. Trump claims “people are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots” and that Dr. Fauci is a “disaster.” Dr. Frieden is a former CDC Director. He joins AC360 to react to the President’s comments and says it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with someone, it’s about whether you follow policies that’ll protect people. Plus, Election Day is just 15 days away and former President Obama is getting ready to hit the campaign trail for his friend Vice President Joe Biden. Valerie Jarrett is a former Senior Adviser to President Obama and she tells Anderson Cooper that President Obama is laser focused on making an affirmative case for why Joe Biden is the best person to become the President of the United States.   Airdate: October 19, 2020   Guests: Dr. Tom Frieden Valerie Jarrett   To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
