“By doing this against my will, they are in effect harassing me. Since campaign ads are about getting votes, their harassment of me might have the opposite effect of turning some voters off.”
NEW: I spoke to Fauci about the Trump campaign:

I witnessed President Trump & WH leadership routinely sideline & discredit Dr. Fauci. I placed the calls to Fauci when they didn’t want him in the WH Press briefing room. He’s too “honest”-“Too grim”-“Can’t have him talking” & now they try to use his name?! My response. ⬇️ #vote https://t.co/lSpsDTJYOv

Holding large campaign rallies, like the one President Trump has in Florida tonight, is “asking for trouble,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
The number of coronavirus cases in many states is “going in the wrong direction right now,” he added.https://t.co/8ChlbWqHIB

Daily Beast: Who could have foreseen this? A day after Dr. Anthony Fauci demanded that the Trump campaign refrain from using him in future campaign ads, the president has laid into the nation’s top infectious-disease expert in a Twitter rage and accused him of knowing nothing about COVID-19.
Donald Trump is running TV ads taking Dr. Fauci out of context and without his permission.
So, here’s a message from the President in his own words. pic.twitter.com/WCYbIfrQLR

Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications. “No problem, no masks”. WHO no longer likes Lockdowns – just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!! https://t.co/YyLyCsbZ7a

Dr. Anthony Fauci says “it’s really unfortunate and really disappointing” that the Trump campaign featured him in an ad touting the President’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He tells @jaketapper that he thinks the ad should be taken down. https://t.co/oDDlgwvCkE pic.twitter.com/JLTbTVhJ7o

"I'm not going to walk away from this outbreak, no matter who's the president." Dr. Anthony Fauci says he is not deterred and will continue to serve in his role despite President Trump's efforts to undermine the infectious disease expert. https://t.co/FTtrb3B0Ll

Fauci appears done pretending the media is playing a game by covering his tortured relationship w Trump: "By doing this against my will, they are in effect harassing me,” he says of Trump campaign ad using him out of context https://t.co/xhqGULvZSn

Fauci told The Daily Beast on Monday that the Trump campaign was “in effect, harassing me” by including him in advertisements against his will. In a tweet Tuesday, Trump ridiculed Fauci’s comically bad ceremonial first pitch at MLB’s Opening Day back in July, writing:
“Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications.”
Trump then wrongly claimed the World Health Organization “no longer likes Lockdowns”—one official said last week that lockdowns should not be the “primary” way to deal with the pandemic at this stage, not that they shouldn’t be used at all.

It’s all part of the plan. President “super-spreader” will infect every Trumpster he can, telling them that it’s all a big hoax and not to worry. Meanwhile, the real “powers that be” are cheering him on. COVID-19 is a bioweapon designed to attack the elderly, people of color, and especially folks who are too stupid to live. That’s the demographic that are 100% behind Trump. But, the “October surprise” is coming right up so who cares who wins in November? It’ll all be over but the crying…
