Trump spreads anti-Fauci messages as White House memo aiming to discredit top health official leaks

President Trump retweeted a message criticizing health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci and Democrats over coronavirus social distancing measures.

The social media offensive against Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a core member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, came after the White House shared an opposition research memo seeking to discredit the top health official.

"So based on Dr. Fauci and the Democrats, I will need an ID card to go shopping but not to vote?" said an April tweet by conservative host Mark Young, who co-hosts a podcast with former game show host Chuck Woolery, that was retweeted by Trump.
