Fauci is the latest in a string of former Trump aides-turned-critics to see their federal protection canceled despite ongoing threats to their lives.
Speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t feel any responsibility if harm befell the former government officials. A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues, said that Fauci’s federal security detail was ended on Thursday and that he has since hired private security.
When asked about Fauci and former national security adviser John Bolton, Trump said, “They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too.”
That would be fantastic. I’ve been thinking a lot about early 1930’s Germany lately, and the Jewish people who saw the writing on the wall there. The people who survived the Holocaust were mostly the ones who got out before it started.
I have queer kids. I’m currently working on moving my family to Canada.
Good luck! Every queer person needs to get out of America if they can. I fear for their safety. My daughter is queer and we just emigrated to the UK because of that.
Thanks. It’s heartbreaking, because I love my city and I grew up here. I have a house. I have pets. I have roots. But the whole country is no longer save for my kids.
If I had no children, I’d stay and fight as best I can. But kids change the equation. I have to make sure they survive. And evidence strongly indicates that they’re going to be targets of the new Nazis if we stay.
