Frum: The 20% who lived in the most pro-Trump places suffered 70,000 more COVID deaths than the 20% in the most pro-Biden places. Red America obeyed those who told them not to mask, not to vaccinate. They died for it. No, Fauci is not the villain here. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Anthony Fauci Is Not the Villain in This Story
The doctor was thrust into his pandemic-leadership role because of Trump’s deadly dereliction of duty.

“Did you try to block or trap President Trump into the ‘slow the spread, flatten the curve’ measures in March 2020?” That’s not the “gotcha” question you think it is, Senator.

AltUSCustoms@altuscustoms.altgov.info · last wk.I don’t deny there’s so much AI content out there that it’s hard to know what’s real & what’s fake.
