Gov. Ron DeSantis: I Would Have Fired Fauci
During a recent interview at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa, Gov. Ron DeSantis made a bold statement about Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Florida governor, who is also a 2024 presidential candidate, declared that if he had been president in 2020, Fauci would have been out of a job.
“I believe Article II of the Constitution means the president has the executive authority. We just say these bureaucrats somehow can’t be held accountable. I disagree with that. I think you can fire him,” said DeSantis. “Had I been president in 2020, Anthony Fauci would have been fired, and you’ve got to be willing to do it.”
DeSantis has been vocal about his opposition to Fauci and has made it a central theme of his 2024 presidential campaign. He has criticized what he calls “Faucism,” which includes lockdowns and state-mandated vaccinations.
Interestingly, DeSantis has also used Fauci as a way to attack former President Donald Trump. He has criticized Trump for hiring Fauci and allowing him to have influence throughout the pandemic.
