Dr. Fauci says he will be retiring at the end of this presidency and wants to put COVID politicization behind him.
How convenient.
Tom Cotton was more than happy to call him out:
Fauci pushed for lockdowns, mandates, and firing every American who chose not to take the vaccine.
Now he want to "put COVID politicization behind him"?
What a farce. https://t.co/VPbtukwdeC

From Politico:
Fauci says he’s prepared for the onslaught of attacks that could come in a Republican-controlled House or Senate next year — with many running in the midterms on campaigns deriding the lockdowns, school closures and masking requirements that Fauci said were necessary pandemic precautions — but insists that is not part of his calculus for retirement.
“They’re going to try and come after me, anyway. I mean, probably less so if I’m not in the job,” he admitted, sitting in his office on the sprawling National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Md. “I don’t make that a consideration in my career decision.”
He’s so brave.
If we rolled our eyes any further back in our heads we’d be able to see D.C. from our office.

Not entirely unfair.
Why wait? Him and Bill Gates can drive into the sunset together 🙄

We so agree.
Fauci can go away sooner than later.
