CNN's John Berman interviewed Dr. Tony Fauci ahead of President Joe Biden's address to the nation on the Omicron variant.
"On the subject of divisiveness — and I'm not going to play it because, frankly, I think it's dangerous," Berman said. "But Jesse Watters, who is a Fox News entertainer, was giving a speech to a conservative group where he talked about you, suggesting to the crowd they ambush you with what he said was some kind of rhetorical 'kill shot.' That was his exact word."
"Well, John, that's horrible," Fauci replied.
"I mean, that just is such a reflection of the craziness that goes on in society," he continued. "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. And for that, you have some guy out there saying that people should be giving me a kill shot, to ambush me?"

Please note that I'm not defending Fox or Watters in any way but here's the retort:
Quote:“Now you go in for the kill shot,” Watters said, suggesting how members in the audience could confront Dr. Fauci and film the encounter. “The kill shot? With an ambush? Deadly. Because 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?”
Watters added that those in the audience should send footage of their confrontation with Dr. Fauci to Fox News. “Just make sure it’s legal,” Watters added.
Fox News defended Watters’ remarks in a statement, saying he was using a metaphor and not calling specifically for violence against the president’s chief medical adviser.
“Based on watching the full clip and reading the entire transcript, it’s more than clear that Jesse Watters was using a metaphor for asking hard-hitting questions to Dr. Fauci about gain-of-function research and his words have been twisted completely out of context,” Fox News said in a statement.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
