Bash pressed him: Trump was president, Fauci worked for him, so why is all the blame on Fauci? RFK Jr's answer: Trump wanted to end lockdowns, lockdowns caused the damage.

RFK Jr refusing to acknowledge Trump's role while positioning himself to run HHS on the strength of his pandemic criticism is the entire grift: blame the bureaucrats, protect the boss, get the job.
