If the former chief medical advisor to President Biden wants to talk tough, let’s see him back it up.
Downplaying an assassination attempt against Trump barely one month after getting weepy-eyed discussing threats against himself and his family during a House hearing is rich.
“Yes, there have been everything from harassments by emails, texts, letters of myself, my wife, my three daughters,” Fauci testified during a House Oversight Committee hearing in June.
“At these moments, how do you feel?” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) pressed.
“Terrible,” Fauci said, still visibly upset and trying to collect himself. //
Don’t let the crocodile tears fool you. Try to imagine what Fauci’s response would be if somebody fired a shot directed at his skull and ended up with a face covered in blood.
Think he’d be back on CNN the next day saying, ‘Look guys, don’t worry about me, it’s simply a superficial wound. Carry on.’
In that same hearing, Fauci claimed the “credible death threats” against him have “required my having Protective Services essentially all the time.”
(Side note – There is no more credible death threat than actual shots fired and having a supporter nearby killed in the hail of bullets. Fauci would have you believe the threats he receives are more credible than those others receive). //
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), went on to point out that as a high-profile senator who has nearly killed himself on multiple occasions, he doesn’t have a security force comparable to the left’s greatest false idol. He also mocked Fauci for trying to garner sympathy.
“He wants to develop empathy and sympathy. He wants to paint Republicans as creating this danger. I've had 34 death threats in a week before. I have had death threats as soon as this last week,” Paul said.
“So we get them all the time, and nobody picks me up in a limo and takes me to where I want to go every day.” //

Has Trump ever claimed anything otherwise? He put a bandage on it and went on about his campaign.
The important part is that it was inflicted by someone trying to kill him, and would have succeeded but for a turn of his head. And that's a pretty serious incident.
