'Fauci is better at pitching baseballs than he is at science, okay?' Trump Jr. said at a Conservative Political Action Conference event in Dallas on Friday.
Trump Jr. made the remarks during the"America UnCancelled" event hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas on Friday. The son of former Presidentdenounced the nation's top doctor while speaking about the"propagandists" working in what he called the formerly"honorable institution" of journalism. Trump Jr. insisted that Fauci is merely a"bureaucrat" and that members of the press who suggest otherwise are being deceptive.
"[The press said] Fauci is something other than a bureaucrat in a lab coat. Yeah," Trump Jr. said."Fauci is better at pitching baseballs than he is at science, okay? Also true. I want to see them fact check that one, they have no chance." Trump Jr.'s opinion about 80-year-old Fauci's baseball skills, or lack thereof, come after the doctor was widely mocked after badly fumbling the ceremonial first pitch for the Washington Nationals last summer—a moment that Fauci himself called"quite embarrassing."
Fauci played both baseball and basketball as a child and young adult, captaining his high school basketball team. He focused on his medical education and career after that and whatever athletic prowess he may have had is likely significantly diminished as an octogenarian. Donald Trump Jr. said that Dr. Anthony Fauci is"better at pitching baseballs than he is at science" during a speech at a Conservative Political Action Conference event on Friday. Trump Jr. is pictured delivering the speech at the"America UnCancelled" event in Dallas, Texas on July 9, 2021.While Fauci has recently become a figure of disdain among some conservatives for his public health work amid the COVID-19 pandemic, his scientific credentials are not a matter of opinion.
