Pseudonymous commentator who called pandemic a 'massive fraud' revealed to work for Fauci

A harsh critic of the federal government’s response to the coronavirus has been revealed to work as a public affairs specialist for the government health agency headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

William Crews, who has been editing and writing for the conservative site RedState under the pseudonym “streiff,” has railed against his colleagues at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, accusing them of being part of an anti-Trump conspiracy. He has also called Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert and the director of the NIAID, “attention-grubbing” and “media-whoring,” the Daily Beast reported on Monday.
