Fringe supporters of Donald Trump have turned on the White House disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, as rumors about tension between the pair were aired last week, and are now suggesting that Congress should subpoena his phone records to see who he’s speaking to.

As Trump called for an end to the economic shutdown last week, the New York Times reported that Trump was tiring of Fauci contradicting him in public.

Fauci cautioned that the coronavirus pandemic would not come to a sudden end by Easter, the president’s preferred date for ending emergency measures.

Pro-Trump blogs and pundits have accused Fauci of siding with the ‘Deep State’, with some far-right Republicans viewing the 79-year-old as an establishment figure obstructing the president.

Podcast host, Bill Mitchell, said he hoped Trump was listening, and called the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) “Dr Doom Fauci”.

He said on Twitter: “Has anyone else noticed that every suggestion by Dr Doom Fauci just happens to also be the worst possible thing for the economy?”

That's not an accident folks.

That's Hillary.

“That’s not an accident folks. That’s Hillary,” added Mitchell.

The accusation that Fauci was also a plant for Hillary Clinton has appeared in pro-Trump blogs in recent days.

Fauci was described by The Gateway Pundit as a “Hillary Clinton fanboy”, after it obtained two emails stolen by Wikileaks in which the disease expert praised Clinton.

Mitchell continued today suggesting that Congress should subpoena Fauci’s phone records to see if he’s been speaking with Clinton.

Mitchell tweeted, “Congress should subpoena Dr. Doom Fauci’s phone records and see how many times he has called Hillary in the past 60 days.”

Obviously Mitchell is an idiot. Another Trump grifter making money sprouting this dangerous crap to his dumb followers:

I fully believe that Dr. Doom Fauci is in direct communication with Team Hillary on a daily basis to get his latest talking points to wreck the Trump economy.

200,000 US deaths is a completely fictitious, irresponsible number meant to spread economic paralysis.

Good God:

If COVID-19 kills 200,000 Americans before the end of flu season, I'll admit Fauci is a genius and I was wrong about him.

Until then, I'll believe he is a Hillary plant and #FearPorn purveyor.

P.S., Actual COVID-19 deaths, not these natural deaths being called COVID-19 deaths.
