During the speech, Watters described how ordinary citizens could create a viral moment by confronting Fauci in public, and filming it. But he used violent metaphors to do so:

“Now you’re going for the kill shot. The kill shot with an ambush is deadly because he doesn’t see it coming,” Watters said, and after proposing a talking point, said “Boom, he is dead! He is dead!”…

[Fauci] then went off on Watters and demanded his firing “on the spot”:

The only thing that I had ever done throughout these two years is to encourage people to practice good public health practices, to get vaccinated, to be careful in public settings, to wear a mask. And for that, you have some guy out there saying that people should be giving me a kill shot, to ambush me? I mean, what kind of craziness is there in society these days?

That’s awful that he said that. And he’s going to go very likely unaccountable. I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him. I mean, that’s crazy. The guy should be fired on the spot!
