Fauci rejects Bannon calling threats a metaphor: 'That's nonsense'

Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci hit back at Steve Bannon on Sunday for saying that his past comments directed at Fauci were a “metaphor.”

Fauci, in a Sunday appearance on ABC's "This Week," was asked about Bannon’s earlier remarks. The former Trump adviser argued that his past comments suggesting that Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded were a metaphor.

Fauci pushed back on Bannon, saying some people could act on comments like that.
