Fauci And Alyssa Farah Griffin Recall Trying to Convince Trump to Wear a Mask By Telling Him

The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin recalled during a catch up with Dr. Anthony Fauci trying to convince then-President Donald Trump to mask up during the Covid pandemic by saying he “looked cool” with one on.

Fauci joined the hosts of The View on Thursday to promote his new book On Call, which details his work as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for decades, including during the pandemic. The hosts gushed over Fauci with Whoopi Goldberg calling him “one of the classiest” figures she’d ever seen in Washington D.C.

Fauci detailed from frictions with the former president during the pandemic, including on masking.
