Tornado Alley (PROG)

Our ruling
Bannon said, "Fauci told us there’s nothing to worry about. That’s his quote, ‘There’s nothing to worry about.’"

Fauci did say twice in late January, when there was one reported covid-19 case in the U.S., that American shouldn’t worry about the virus. But Bannon omits an important detail: Both times, Fauci added that the situation could change.

So we rate Bannon’s statement Half True.
