"You made him a star": Megyn Kelly digs into Donald Trump for COVID response, elevation of Dr. Fauci

Salon  

Megyn Kelly dug into former President Donald Trump about his COVID response and his administration's platforming of Dr. Anthony Fauci in an interview with the former president — the first since the two infamously faced off during the 2016 presidential campaign. Kelly continued to recount the conservative criticism of the former president, noting that Fauci appeared "at every presser" and that Trump awarded the doctor a presidential commendation, before asking if the 2024 GOP frontrunner wouldn't want a "do-over" to walk it back. Kelly, a vocal Fauci foe, however, continued to press the former president on why he didn't terminate the former director, pointing out Trump's propensity for firing. After Kelly later asked again if he wouldn't want to go back on any of his early COVID policies or Operation Warp Speed efforts, Trump went on a tangent about the uncertainty at the onset of the pandemic, vaccines and mandates before bemoaning that he "never got the credit I deserve on COVID."
