Fauci Fires Back at Kristi Noem Saying He’s ‘Wrong’: ‘The Numbers Don’t Lie’
SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty ImagesBiden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci hit back at South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s harsh criticism of him on Sunday, saying her comments about him at this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) were “not very helpful” and “unfortunate.”Noem, who has received praise from conservatives for largely ignoring coronavirus restrictions and guidelines, got a standing ovation from the CPAC crowd when she boasted about ignoring the medical advice of experts and called out Fauci for supposedly being “wrong.” Appearing on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Fauci was asked if that sentiment was an impediment to the nation’s recovery.Kristi Noem Under Scrutiny for Using State Plane to Fly to NRA, Turning Points Meet-Ups“It’s unfortunate but it’s not really helpful because sometimes you think things are going well and just take a look at the numbers, they don’t lie,” he said. During an interview with Noem on the same program, anchor Margaret Brennan grilled the Republican governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate on her state’s poor performance with the deadly virus.“So for your state, you have, if you look at starting in July, which was after that spring peak, you have the highest death rate in cumulative COVID deaths per million in the country,” Brennan said, adding: “I know you’re conservative and you care about the sanctity of life. So how can you justify making decisions that put the health of your constituents at risk?”Noem, meanwhile, brushed off the question, instead telling Brennan that “those are questions that you should be asking every other governor in this country as well.”FAUCI REACTS: Dr. Anthony Fauci responds to @govkristinoem's criticism at #CPAC that the veteran medical expert is "wrong" on hospital capacity and #COVID19 caseloads: "It's unfortunate but it's not really helpful… just take a look at the numbers they don't lie." pic.twitter.com/y9Xz30lsr0— Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) February 28, 2021 Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

Analysis: Donald Trump is back in business
Reports of Donald Trump's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Anyone who wrote his political obituary might want to get the Tipp-Ex out. Mr Trump's first major post-presidential speech on Sunday was a tour de force by the most forceful personality in American politics. Love him or loathe him, he's back. Like many of Mr Trump's speeches this 90-minute marathon covered an awful lot of ground. Supporters and detractors will each have found plenty in it to wind themselves up about. But for America, there were really three key questions that needed answering. The first was, is Mr Trump still able to enthuse his own supporters following his defeat in 2020, a second impeachment, and a self-imposed political hiatus? The answer to that was, resoundingly, yes. Secondly, was he really thinking about launching an independent party, which would throw the Republican Party into chaos? The answer to that was, resoundingly, no. "Fake news," Mr Trump said. The Republican Party would unite and win in 2024, he said. Thirdly, will he run for the White House in 2024? That appeared to depend on the answer to question one. Therefore, the answer was - probably yes. During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference [CPAC] Mr Trump gave several knowing looks and smiles as he danced around the subject of a 2024 comeback bid, as if testing the waters.

Trump proposes new voting limits, rails against "monster" voting rights bill
Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday laid out a variety of election proposals, such as limiting absentee voting and days when Americans can vote, in his first public speech after his stinging Nov. 3 election loss. Democrats' nationwide push to register new voters, including Black voters and young people, and Trump's refusal to urge his Republican supporters to vote by absentee ballot are believed to have been factors in his 7 million vote loss to Joe Biden. At a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, Trump said Election Day should be only one day, not a number of days leading up to the actual voting day.
