Fauci says Navarro's op-ed was "a major mistake" by the White House
Source: CNN
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said the USA Today op-ed that was written by White House trade adviser Peter Navarro was a major mistake on their part.
Speaking to The Atlantic Council on Wednesday, Fauci said, I think if you sit down and talk to the people who are involved in that list that came out, they are really, I think, taken aback by what a big mistake that was.
If you talk to reasonable people in the White House, they realize that was a major mistake on their part, because it doesn't do anything but reflect poorly on them, he said.
The op-ed did not go through the normal sign-off process of being edited and approved by the White House press office, a White House official told CNN on Tuesday.

(20,631 posts)directed above from "Big Daddy", where he points at given members of his "orbit", and orders them to go out and do his dirty work, so it appears that no blood is on his hands. The very same way he attacked Tammy Duckworth last week, by getting Tucker Carlson to do it on his TV show.

(308 posts)There was no mistake. Trump told him to go out there and do it. He's waiting to see how it plays before either praising Navarro or firing him. The other posters are right -- nobody does nothing without the Chief Moron's permission. Navarro has been worthless on China negotiations, so Trump figures he has nothing to lose by using Navarro as a test dummy.
