Democrats seized the opportunity to trap the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases into “gotcha” questions, in an attempt to create a divide between Dr. Fauci and President Trump. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), formerly a vice presidential candidate, cited botched data in an effort to get Dr. Fauci to undermine the administration’s efforts. 

Sen. Kaine tried to insinuate that the Trump Administration’s response was subpar by comparing the United States’ testing to that of South Korea:

“So to Dr. Fauci, the death toll in the United States, especially when compared to other nations, is unacceptable, isn’t it?”

 After a series of other attempted “gotcha” questions, Dr. Fauci pushed back on Sen. Kaine’s partisan grandstanding:

“I understand where you’re going with this, but I have to tell you there’s a big difference between South Korea and the U.S. as to the nature of the outbreak,” Dr. Fauci said.
