Over the weekend, the White House sent out a statement to multiple media outlets trying to discredit Dr. Anthony Fauci — one of the top members of the White House’s own coronavirus task force.

On Sunday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino publicly trashed Fauci on Facebook, calling him "cowardly."

On Monday, President Donald Trump retweeted a former game show host who claimed “Everyone is lying” about the coronavirus in order to hurt Trump’s reelection chances and stifle the U.S. economy. He then retweeted Dr. Mark Young pushing a conspiracy theory about Dr. Anthony Fauci:

CNN’s John Berman brings up an important point: “I’m at a loss for how this saves a single life.” 

Speaking of Trump's Twitter...

He attacked Fox News some more this morning, calling the network a “disaster” after having spent a solid chunk of time live tweeting Fox and Friends.

‘My Heart Is Pounding Out Of My Chest’ 

Self-described “theme park journalist” Carlye Wisel filed a harrowing report from the lines at Disney World this weekend. A fascinating video and thread.

At Long Mask

After months of refusing to wear a mask, President Trump finally donned one to visit Walter Reed Hospital.  The president was spotted wearing what appeared to be a dark navy fabric mask custom-made for him, with the presidential seal on one side as he walked through the military hospital accompanied by several staffers, in a planned visit to wounded combat veterans being treated there.

The campaign then spun it like he was leading the way.

"delete, and I cannot emphasize this enough, your account"

Chance the Rapper took to Twitter Monday morning to attack presumptive democratic nominee Joe Biden and throw his presidential support toward Kanye West. He was, you may imagine, roasted.

Texas Lt. Gov. Loses It 

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick went on a full-throttle TEAR on Monday, ripping Democrats, Black Lives Matter, and the #DefundThePolice movement.



Seriously, he went into overdrive.

"I think we’re missing the point.”

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley warned in an interview on CNBC that the NBA’s initiatives for social justice are “turning into a circus” and that players are focusing more on nicknames on the back of their jerseys instead of “trying to do some good stuff.”

What the **** did he just say!?

Steve Harvey went viral for his reaction to Bruce Smith’s absurd answer on Celebrity Family Feud from Sunday night.

Smith, an 11-time Pro Bowl defensive end for the Buffalo Bills, struggled to respond a hypothetical question about Peter Pan’s Captain Hook when his first answer was already taken.

When an NFL Hall of Famer says “penis” on television, it’s hard to keep your cool. Steve Harvey did not succeed.
