Coronavirus: Sen. Lindsey Graham defends Fauci, criticizes attempts to undermine doctor

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) defended Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on Tuesday saying that any attempt to undermine one of the country’s top doctors on the coronavirus task force would not be productive. He said he acknowledges that Fauci hasn’t always been correct but is one of “the smartest people” he knows. He also expressed concern over hospital staff shortages and inadequate COVID-19 testing in his state of South Carolina, one of many reportedly seeing testing issues.
