If you were hard at work on Monday or otherwise engaged in activities that didn’t involve what was happening in the political/current events sphere, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced that he’d be stepping down and director of the NIAID in December:
While I am moving on from my current positions, I am not retiring. After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career while I still have so much energy and passion for my field. I want to use what I have learned as NIAID Director to continue to advance science and public health and to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world to face future infectious disease threats.
Over the coming months, I will continue to put my full effort, passion and commitment into my current responsibilities, as well as help prepare the Institute for a leadership transition. NIH is served by some of the most talented scientists in the world, and I have no doubt that I am leaving this work in very capable hands.
Right on cue, Tucker Carlson took the opportunity to roast Fauci during the opening of his show on Fox News:
Tucker Carlson is absolutely roasting Fauci! 💥🤣

Carlson envisioned how lefties took the news of Fauci’s departure, and it’s solid gold:
PLEASE ENJOY @TuckerCarlson "Picture the chaos, if you can…" of limousine liberals finding out that Fauci is retiring.
LMAO "The panic and hysteria at espresso bars in Edgartown, Aspen, Santa Monica,Bethesda as 1000s of masked ladies in Lululemon discovered all at once…" pic.twitter.com/eqAy3FugVc

Ok, our sides hurt now!
“Not since the Orange man seized the White House in a Russian coup have so many 46yr old Cornell lawyers with weak husbands wept shamelessly in public” brilliant by Tucker 😆😆 https://t.co/NNL28Zt0Nj
