Anthony Fauci is demanding that Fox News fire host Jesse Watters for encouraging conservatives to “ambush” him with a “kill shot” so he “doesn’t see it coming.”
Watters was not referring to actual violence but was rather encouraging his supporters to confront Fauci over the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic if they see him in public.
“The kill shot, with an ambush – deadly ’cause he doesn’t see it coming. This is when you say, ‘Dr. Fauci, you funded risky research at a sloppy Chinese lab, the same lab that sprung this pandemic on the world. You know why people don’t trust you, don’t you?’ Boom, he is dead! He is dead! He’s done!” Watters told a crowd at a Turning Point USA event over the weekend.
Watters also urged supporters to film their encounter with Fauci, so they could become famous.
When asked about the comments, Fauci called for Watters’ firing.
“That’s horrible. I mean, that just is a reflection of the craziness that goes on in society,” Fauci said, adding that he “should be fired on the spot” but predicted that “whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything to him.”
“The only thing that I have ever done throughout these two years is to encourage people to practice good public-health practices, to get vaccinated, to be careful in public settings, to wear a mask,” Fauci said.
“And for that, you have some guy out there saying that people should be giving me a kill shot to ambush me. I mean, what kind of craziness is there in society these days? That’s awful that he said that. And he’s going to go, very likely, unaccountable.”
Fox News declined to comment on the matter.

This pig thinks he’s unaccountable?! That people who see him should not confront him?! What, he is immune from the treatment Republicans have got for years?! Did he say one word when Democrat Party leaders openly encouraged people to “get in their faces” and not let them have any peace?
Don’t tell me he’s concerned about the figurative use of violent language. Nobody who has ever engaged in a “campaign”, or in “targeting” a district or state, has a right to complain about such standard usage. Nor can anyone who didn’t complain about 0bama telling people to “bring a gun to a knife fight”.
CNN used the term “kill shot” many times themselves, without a hint of complaints…
Of course Fox is the only normal Network among the demented left media
That being the case— Jesse Watters to me is a complete lightweight and those remarks were the ramblings of a nine-year-old
FAUCI- ‘THE ONLY THING I’VE DONE THESE PAST FEW YEARS IS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PRACTICE GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICES….”
MY FOOT.
YOU CAN FOOL ALL PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, SOME PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.
PEOPLE DON’T WANT FAUCI’S BLOOD FOR NOTHING. AND THIS GUILT-RIDDEN POWER-HUNGRY MAD SCIENTIST KNOWS THIS ONLY TOO WELL.
When I heard this comment yesterday by this Watters, who I never heard of before, I took it to mean a call for the assassination of Dr. Fauci and couldn’t believe what he said. I’m sure some in the audience had the same understanding and some kook is going to attempt to kill the Dr.
When using figurative language it can be misunderstood for literal language.
Keep up the great work! The silent majority supports you wholeheartedly!
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents,” Waters said at the Wilshire Federal Building,
‘Maxine Waters’
The disgraceful use of figurative speech to an audience that includes some jerks with guns who don’t understand the subtleties of Watters’ remarks leave me at a loss for words. Which is good because otherwise I might be saying things about some of the YWN commenters who do not see the trouble with Watters’ comments which YWN might consider unprintable. I’m lookin’ at you, Milhorse, inter alia.
Water should fear that Fauci backers will rally at his Huntington Long Island home
When Fauci mandates ineffective injury-causing vaccines for people who have strong antibodies and they test immunity from previous infection, it’s a bigger threat than anything anyone ever threatened him with.
Dr. Fauci was one of the most respected doctors in the US until COVID19. It’s sad what the right-wing is doing to him. Perhaps there are legitimate criticisms of some of his ideas but this full scale assault on the poor man is obscene.
Faux-Xi is a narcissistic, partisan, left-wing hack who prioritizes radical Democratic talking points over science, health, and lives. Without any busha, he admitted to giving false information in order to encourage more to vaccinate, and has flip-flopped more times than Biden and Harris combined. And contrary to all his brazen lies in front of Congress, there is sufficient evidence that he did in fact fund gain-of-function studies at a Chinese lab, which resulted in the greatest pandemic since WWI.
