Everyone on the other side of the fence really seems to have their knickers in a twist over the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Since the beginning of this massive, deadly global pandemic, Dr. Fauci has served as pretty much the only member of Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force who’s been willing to stand up to the president and his relentlessly ridiculous and downright dangerous rhetoric and antics in an effort to quite literally help save this country.
But, as we’re all painfully aware, Donald Trump has never been one to take well to being challenged.
So, frankly, as Donald continues to push for this country to get back to “business as usual” and just pretend like that pesky little pandemic no longer exists, it’s come at no real surprise that Trump’s White House has made it their mission to discredit the guy for trying to warn the entire nation about what most of us already know — Donald Trump is a dangerous idiot.
However, as it turns out, Fauci’s unwillingness to follow the MAGA narrative and stand idly by as he watches more and more people die isn’t the only thing that’s got the conservative crowd big mad at the good doctor.

The MAGA crowd has recently found their feathers in a properly ruffled state over the fact that Dr. Fauci, a physician of 40-years trying to save an entire nation from a deadly virus and Donald Trump, landed the cover of — and a story in — InStyle magazine.
A special digital cover: Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife, bioethicist Dr. Christine Grady spoke to @NorahODonnell about the battle against COVID-19, Fauci’s contentious relationship with the White House and how he’s staying sane (pro-tip: he power walks). https://t.co/CSM3KjFk3X pic.twitter.com/aNJno1CUkC

When asked why he’s become “persona non grata” within the White House Dr. Fauci says, “that really changes week to week and month to month. Sometimes you say things, which are not widely accepted within the White House and that’s just a fact of life.” https://t.co/Hubcz29xyH

Unsurprisingly, the right-wing crowd was rather butthurt over Fauci landing the cover when Melania, a supposed “model,” hasn’t touched her toe on the cover of the magazine.
Yet Melania is still waiting…. 🙄 https://t.co/hZUNtz9Xu4

Yuck, now a better choice for a magazine cover would be First Lady Melania Trump, now that would be a fabulous cover! Swampy fauci is responsible for all this carnage in our carnage https://t.co/RhDjhYibRE

Evidently, because the Liberal fashion magazines think Fauci is prettier, classier, more sophisticated, and sexier than our elegant #FLOTUS Melania, who the fashion magazines refuse to carry. 🤣

Give me a break Fauci is written up in a fashion magazine and you have never put our @FLOTUS on the cover #shameful https://t.co/DU4zVi8p7j

So no magazine can place intelligent and beautiful #Melania on its cover; but InStyle choose to feature Fauci 🤦♀️ https://t.co/PzAIZW188q

So Fauci can get on the cover of InStyle Magazine, but First Lady Melania Trump has not been on a magazine cover in three and a half years? pic.twitter.com/9XWpcjuvEt

That’s a whole hell of a lot of outrage for something as petty as a magazine cover. But remind me again how we’re the snowflakes?
