"I think that that was a gut punch."

Evidence (2020-10-21): Donald Trump’s claim about Fauci’s comments on travel restrictions and mask usage leave out important context. The White House and Trump’s reelection campaign did not respond to our queries asking for more information. [...] Despite Trump’s displeasure with Fauci, Fauci is a popular figure. Trump’s campaign even touts Fauci’s statements throughout the pandemic as proof that Trump acted effectively to combat the crisis. The campaign featured a few seconds of a Fauci interview in an ad, although out of context. Trump’s recent claims about Fauci leave out key information and misrepresent the facts.

Fauci told The Daily Telegraph in February that his "influence" over Trump had tapered off by late spring of 2020, when he said the president became focused on reopening the economy and his reelection effort.

Despite his sometimes public clashes with Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Trump’s list included the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Apart from his work on the coronavirus task force, Fauci worked tirelessly to inform Americans of the science concerning the novel coronavirus, urging the public to choose facts over conspiracy theories and speculation.

Claim: Donald Trump Claimed to not know who gave Fauci the commendation (Viral post, 2023-09-14)
Evidence (2024-01-11): Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke highly of Dr. Anthony Fauci, an infectious disease expert and then-director of the National Institutes for Allergies and Infectious Diseases. We didn’t find DeSantis using the exact quote Trump recounted, but he did say something similar. The Trump campaign pointed us to a June 1 CNN article that explored some of DeSantis’ March 2020 praise for Fauci, who helped lead the national response to COVID-19. At the time, DeSantis said that Fauci was "really doing a good job," CNN reported. When he was asked about the timeline for the coronavirus pandemic and recovery on March 14, 2020, DeSantis said, "I would defer to people like Dr. Fauci." [...] Trump, like DeSantis, frequently criticized Fauci. But he, too, praised Fauci at times. On Jan. 29, 2020, Trump formed a White House Coronavirus Task Force that included Fauci and others who the administration described as "subject matter experts" and "some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases." Trump featured Fauci in a 2020 campaign ad, in which he used a Fauci statement out of context to suggest Fauci was complimentary of Trump’s pandemic response. And on his last full day in office, Trump awarded presidential commendations to Fauci and 51 others, though he later said he didn’t know who had given the commendation.

Evidence (2021-06-27): Fauci, who leads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, initially resisted a White House directive to cancel the NIH grant to EcoHealth Alliance — a nonprofit conducting research on coronaviruses that had previously worked with the Wuhan lab some experts fingered as the origin of COVID-19 . He later "reluctantly agreed" after learning then-President Trump was directly behind the order, according to an upcoming book by Washington Post reporters Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta.
Claim: Donald Trump Claimed to not know who gave Fauci the commendation (Viral post, 2023-09-14)
Evidence (2023-09-15): Trump claimed that Florida under DeSantis "sort of had a mandate" on Covid-19 vaccines. In fact, DeSantis never imposed any kind of Covid-19 vaccine mandate. Defending himself against criticism from DeSantis, Trump claimed that he would not have given Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation and does not know who gave Fauci such a commendation. In fact, it was him, Donald Trump. [...] Trump made it sound like he didn’t award Fauci the commendation himself. He said, "I don’t know who gave him the commendation. I really don’t know who gave him the commendation. I wouldn’t have done it." He said moments later, "Someone probably handed him a commendation." Facts First: This is false. On his last full day in office in January 2021, Trump awarded commendations to Fauci and dozens of others who were involved in his administration’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly develop Covid-19 vaccines. The Trump White House’s announcement was titled, "President Trump Awards Presidential Commendations to Operation Warp Speed Team." It began, "Today, President Donald J. Trump awarded Presidential Commendations to the below individuals in recognition of their exceptional efforts on Operation Warp Speed." Fauci was the seventh name on the list.

Evidence (2024-01-11): "Trump has shown no regret over warp speed, he gave Fauci an award on the way out and he was pushing DeSantis to recluse Florida right before leaving office," Rubin said. "And yes, he would do it all over again since he thinks he did nothing wrong the first time." [...] The former president also awarded Facui and 51 other people who served on Operation Warp Speed a presidential commendation on his last full day in office on January 19, 2021. Trump and DeSantis have criticized COVID policies while in office. DeSantis notably rose to national prominence during the pandemic over his refusal to implement restrictions in Florida. DeSantis has ridiculed Trump for claiming that he doesn't know who gave Fauci the award, saying in September: "It literally says President Trump awards commendation. Is this the immaculate commendation or something like that? Did this just happen out of thin air?

In the past, we’ve seen free breakfast sandwiches (regularly $3.89), free chicken sandwiches (priced at $5.59), and free nuggets (normally $5.39) all given through the app. Unfortunately, these coupons are regional, so it’ll depend on each individual owner to dispense the coupons.

Keep an eye on the Chicken Wire to keep track of future openings, and like your local Chick-fil-A on Facebook to keep track of recipients.
