'So get ready for new director of allergy and infectious disease, Kid Rock,' Stephen Colbert said on 'The Late Show' on Monday night.
Their holiday bliss was short-lived, though, thanks to President Donald Trump's rhetoric during a press briefing on Monday, in which he claimed to have"total authority" to reopen the economy in the midst of a national health crisis. As if that wasn't disturbing enough, some late-night hosts got the impression that the president may be considering firing Dr.
Colbert joked that it was likely the president also knew who Fauci was talking about, too, and suggested that the doctor's words would likely cost him his job—especially considering that Trump retweeted someone who used the hashtag #FireFauci. "Trump was obviously not pleased," Kimmel said, referring to Fauci's interview."He retweeted a post that included that hashtag, 'Time to #FireFauci.' Every time somebody tells the truth he gets mad. Is that a good sign? A spokesperson for the White House said the media chatter is ridiculous and that Trump is not firing Dr. Fauci, so he is definitely firing Dr. Fauci.
Meyers was even more perturbed that Trump thought he should be congratulated on his handling of the disease—a notion he made during a press conference last week—even though it's been reported that he ignored the warnings of health officials months before the coronavirus even arrived in the U.S.
