Little elf' Fauci: DeSantis unleashes on America's top infectious diseases expert

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has unleashed a tirade against America's top scientist Dr Anthony Fauci – declaring ""someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac"".

Mr DeSantis made the remarks during a Florida GOP event in the state's Seminole County.

Dr Fauci announced on Monday he will be stepping down from his current roles in December.

He is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden."
