After being spotted without his mask on, the internet erupted with commentary about the hypocritical display.

“Thanks for the lesson doc!” tweeted a former NYT reporter.

Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel noted Fauci ignores his own social distancing and mask recommendations when he thinks cameras are not rolling.

Making a very good point, one woman wrote, “So he wore a mask to throw out a pitch, when no one was closer than 60 feet. Removes his face diaper when chatting with someone sitting beside him. What a phony.”



Another user asked people to “caption” the photo.
