Tucker Carlson: “Fauci is just another oily politician on an ego trip” Carlson: “Remember when you respected that guy? Remember what he seemed like a legitimate public health expert?" Written by Media Matters Staff Published 08/14/20 8:32 PM EDT Video file Citation From the August 14, 2020, edition of Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Remember when you respected that guy? Remember when he seemed like a legitimate public health expert? We do. He was on this show, we treated him like a physician. Now it's clear Fauci is just another oily politician on an ego trip. Just like the rest of them. In case you haven't been to a supermarket recently, Fauci is featured on the cover of In Style magazine photographed by the pool -- man of science, what a buffoon. But Fauci isn't suffering during the lockdowns, he's loving it. Tony Fauci's enjoying the hell out of himself.
