@michaelalbert8474 No he hasn't. His comments were:
"You know, it's a danger to the people who are trying to control the demonstration, and it's a danger to the people who are demonstrating. So at the end of the day, it is a risky procedure."
When asked whether his advice also applies to Trump’s plans to resume campaign rallies next week, Fauci said "I am consistent. I stick by what I say. The best way that you can avoid -- either acquiring or transmitting infection -- is to avoid crowded places, to wear a mask whenever you're outside. And if you can do both, avoid the congregation of people and do the mask, that's great. If you're going to be in a situation where -- beyond your control there's a lot of people around you -- make sure you wear a mask."
He openly supports mask wearing at both types of super-spreader events, and openly states that even being at those places is a risk.
What makes Trump rallies so much more serious is the lack of masks and the contempt for masks in general, combined with the close proximity for hours on end and everyone passing through the same areas.
I'm also not sure why you feel that Fauci should be personally criticising every single person out of line. During Obama's birthday of at most 700 people, including the 200 staff, there was a 700,000 person biker event. Guess which one triggered a massive surge in covid in the region it happened in? Obama's birthday was also attended by vaccinated people just as Delta was becoming a thing. Fauci never said anything about the gathering being "okay" though.
Halloween is not secular, it's a religious holidays. It's also not the sort of holiday where people travel across the entire country to see family they haven't seen in months, or even the whole year. We saw the fallout from last Christmas when January was the biggest surge so far, a record only just broken by this summer. Christmas is indeed religious, although calling it Christian is a stretch when every single thing celebrated is pagan.
What's hilarious is that not only is Fauci religious, he even went to a religious college, and yet you think his personal preference is anti-religion.

@michaelalbert8474 Those are direct quotes. He never said anything about the right to protest being paramount, and even stated that:
"Every time I hear about or see the congregation of large crowds at a time and geographic area where there is active infection transmission, it is a perfect set-up for the spread of the virus in the sense of creating these blips that might turn into some surges. So I get very concerned."
Your claims are just false.
As for masking, there was little data at the time, however over a dozen studies did in fact measure their use and effectiveness and found the exact opposite of your claim. While they are not perfect, they do greatly reduce the risk of spread. When those studies came out Fauci took a public position, which he had not done beforehand. cloth masks are like keeping a goop covered mosquito out using a triple layer of fishnets. While it's not perfect, there is a good chance it will stick to one of the layers. Then it has to get through another triple layer to get to someone else, making it even harder.
While it's still possible to contract covid through these cloth masks, the likelihood is dramatically lower.
Sulphur dioxide, also known as "fart molecule" for the less cultured among us are also hundreds of times smaller than covid. Your claim is just silly. Covid is 50-140 nanometers, while sulphur dioxide is closer to 0.3 nanometers. What's more, I actually own 1nm masks, so I think I'll be fine.
If you're really worried put on a mask and try to blow out a candle to see just how effective masks really are.

In 2017, the Proud Boys' founder published a video he titled "10 Things I Hate About Jews." In it, he said Jews have a "whiny paranoid fear of Nazis.”
The Proud Boys’ actions belie their disavowals of bigotry: Rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists. They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Proud Boys have appeared alongside other hate groups at extremist gatherings such as the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Former Proud Boys member Jason Kessler helped organize that event, which brought together a broad coalition of extremists including Neo-Nazis, antisemites and militias. Kessler was expelled from the group after the violence and near-universal condemnation of Charlottesville rallygoers.
Stop kidding yourself. His failure to call a spade a space IS supporting white supremacists and neonazis.
You also skipped over the part about David Duke openly encouraging and supporting Trump and his comments.
You quote doesn't exist. Just Google it and you can see how you got the quote wrong. His actual quote was:
"I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally — but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists. Okay?"
What he did here, is exactly what you are doing, which is a no true scotsman fallacy. The basic idea is that everyone is a very fine person, unless they do something wrong, in which case they must have always been a neo nazi and they have nothing to do with us. You just keep doing this over and over while ignoring actual neo nazis.

"He disavowed Duke. Duke also supported Biden."
Not in 2016 or 2020. You're thinking of Richard Spencer, who hates Libertartianism and called the GOP ineffective. He called the GOP incompetent as well, which is hard to argue with.
"Biden has a very racist record. Byrd was Biden's mentor."
And? Trump wasn't mentored by a racist, Trump IS a racist. Biden on the other hand has been on the right side of history for a very long time, including protesting for racial equality in the 70s, as well as supporting fair housing laws and integrated neighbourhoods around the same time. You also seem to forget he was Obama's Vice President.
"Enrique Tarrio"
Weird you pick the guy who turned out to be an FBI informant lol.
"The left have no problems calling minorities that are Trump supporters, or just conservative for that matter, racist"
I agree. You don't have to be white to be racist.
"You know...the 94 crime bill Joe was so proud of."
Which part are you not in favour of? Republicans at the time actually considered the entire bill too soft, and were the reason the 3 strikes rule existed, the cause of the mandatory life sentences and the main race related problems caused by it. It also dedicated a lot of money to prevention, which Biden was in favour of, and Republicans were not. It was at the end of the day a compromise, and trying to claim that Biden is some grand soul author is just silly.
Biden was also voted for by a large Black majority, so try to justify your idiocy all you want, the vast majority do not agree with you.

@Jason Mccandless
"umm drone strikes are a good thing"
He says, complaining about a drone strike.
"not sure where Obama came into the conversation"
It was a comparison. Trump more than doubled drone strikes, killing thousands of the civilians you were just complaining about dying.
"trump never made direct decisions on a specific drone strike"
Yes he did, all the time. In fact the strike on the Iranian general was a direct order from Trump. General strike policy is also directed by the president, so if they increase, guess who ordered it.
"the new guy that basically was just a classroom of kids"
Wouldn't be the first time. Again, civilians die in strikes. This is why they aren't a good thing, and getting out of the region is a good thing.
"his poor withdraw that funded terrorist with 85 billion in military weapons equipment"
Not really. Most of it is unusable, and they'll run out of ammo in no time. We also gave this equipment to our allies to cover our escape, but Trump's plan to allow Al Qaeda over a year to make deals with local leaders caused the region to collapse far quicker than anticipated.
"shortly after making the largest border crisis in a hundred years"
The border had been ramping up before Biden even took office. This was inevitable, and a damn site better than separating parents from their kids, some of whom are still not reunited.
"here people from a foreign country are now given executive privilege from his organization to shoot across our borders into US soil"
I'm assuming you mean metaphorically rather than actually shooting, although with America you really never know. People coming across the border are asylum seekers, and it's always been a thing. You should probably also look up the US involvement in the governments and politics of the countries people are now coming in from. Immigrants are also a net positive for the economy, paying in far more than they take out.
"from a foreign nation"
Where else lol.
"I've never done any of that however the fact I'm not defending it with def ears so ya I'll take the moral high ground on that one lol"
No idea what you're even trying to say here. Are you arguing that you're on some sort of moral high ground? Because nothing you said would be considered moral by any reasonable standards.

"not complaining about drone strikes at all just the way it was carried out that avoided previous and proper protocol it was completely blind previous strikes were confirmed by visuals"
God you're naive. Visuals like what? Most strikes only have visuals from the drone, which shows very little in the way of who is inside a vehicle.
"yes some civilians died but also a target and anyone including Trump who kills innocent civilians is in fact a murderer this includes Biden and Obama Bush and Clinton as well"
Yet you only whine about it now. Also, the fact Trump openly covered up the strikes is more evidence that they were not hitting targets.
"don't get us started on the negligence of the Clinton's echo don't understand secure emails"
But her emails.
"that particular strike was just hey let's bomb something"
It really wasn't. They, like many strikes, were working on the information available to them.
"see if we hit a terrorist we just gave 86 billion dollars in weapons and equipment to and announce publicly we are working with them as they snatch up child brides in a country our military has occupied for 20 years"
I'm sure you had a better plan for Afghanistan. The fact that it took 20 years to leave is the real travesty.
"come on man I can honestly call Trump an asshole guilty of several bad deeds but dude Biden is truly in your heart just like the rest of your cult"
Hardly. Trump scandals filled the news so often it was impossible to see anything else. Face it, we're back to the days of tan suits and dijon mustard.
"he's also the most recent person to actually condone a foreign people to openly fire into the united states from across the Mexican border"
Still genuinely confused on this claim. Were they shooting at anyone? What was Biden's statement?
"you acct like he's freaking Jesus that's the factual point you are at right now and you can't even deny it"
Maybe if you stopped making things up and criticising things either out of his control or things that really aren't a bid deal then we could actually have a discussion about things that should be criticised.
For example, this lackluster hodge-podge of a covid response needs to be ramped up. We just had a massive surge, and are expecting another January surge like last year, and instead of passing legislation to protect businesses and individuals, they are allowing states to block necessary precautions. This level of control the states are exerting over life-saving measures is a joke.
The splitting of the infrastructure bill was another half measure. While compramise is important, the GOP has spent decades holding the nation hostage until they take power, so they can then go on a spending spree, ruin the economy, and blame Dems. Investment in times of economic downturn is so important, and we're letting congress play games with it.
We need better clean energy programs, including enhanced incentives for individuals and businesses to go solar, and better investments in green energy. Why on god's green earth are we still using coal for energy in this country. It's a disgrace.
Financial markets need tougher restrictions, and zero emphasis has been put on this. The recent rises in housing prices are going to cause some big issues soon if we don't start seeing much tighter regulations.
I also think the pandemic is a perfect opportunity to outline the issues with US healthcare, but lets be honest, you lost me at "compramise".
