GOOD: The Trump Campaign WILL NOT pull the ad were Dr. Fauci says he was 'taken out of context'

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he’s being taken “out of context” in a new ad out from President Donald Trump that quotes the disease specialist saying, “I can’t imagine that . . . anybody could be doing more” which leaves the viewer under the impression that he’s talking about the president fighting the virus:

I’m down at the White House virtually every day with the task force. It’s every single day. So, I can’t imagine that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more.”

There are other examples of Dr. Fauci praising President Trump, too. Should he use those instead:

And we’ve just about had it with Dr. Fauci being misunderstood:

Remember when he told young and healthy people to go on cruises?

The Trump campaign released a statement saying, “The words spoken are accurate, and directly from Dr. Fauci’s mouth”:

The president agrees!

The add, according to the campaign, is not coming down:

But this does set up a potential fight next week:
