DeSantis unleashes shocking attack on Fauci saying he wants to see ‘that little elf’ thrown ‘across the Potomac’
Ron DeSantis unleashed a shocking new attack on Dr Anthony Fauci saying he wanted to see “that little elf” thrown “across the Potomac”.
The Florida governor made his bizarre comments about the outgoing director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases during a fundraising event in the state.
“I’m just sick of seeing him. I know he says he’s gonna retire. Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac,” Mr DeSantis said.
Dr Fauci, who is Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, became a popular right-wing target during the Covid-19 pandemic and announced on Monday that he was leaving his current job in December.
The scientist has said he is not “retiring” but is “moving on from my current positions.”
“I am announcing today that I will be stepping down from the positions of Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, as well as the position of Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden,” Dr Fauci said.

“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career.”
And he added: “I want to use what I have learned as NIAID Director to continue to advance science and public health and to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world to face future infectious disease threats.”
James Caan, Oscar-nominated actor of ‘The Godfather,’ ‘Misery’ and ‘Elf,’ dies at 82
“It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6,” the statement read. “The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
They did not disclose a cause of death.
Caan first found fame playing Chicago Bears halfback Brian Piccolo in “Brian’s Song,” a widely seen 1971 TV movie. The tear-jerking film chronicled Piccolo’s real-life battle with terminal cancer and drew praise for its treatment of the interracial friendship between Piccolo and a Black teammate, Gale Sayers.
His next film, 1972’s “The Godfather,” made Caan a star. Although he was not Italian, Caan was cast as hotheaded Sonny Corleone, oldest of mobster Vito Corleone’s three sons, who is memorably gunned down by rival gangsters in an ambush at a tollbooth.
In a 2021 interview for “CBS Sunday Morning,” Caan said he based Sonny’s persona on the late comedian Don Rickles.
“It wasn’t imitating Don Rickles. It was having that drive, that thing, you know? I was just locked into that,” he said of his performance.
The role earned him an Oscar nomination. Caan also appeared in a flashback in “The Godfather, Part II.”
The curly-haired actor was known for playing tough-guy characters in such films as “Thief” and “Rollerball.” But he was a versatile actor who also exuded vulnerability in movies like “Misery,” the 1990 Stephen King adaptation about a mild-mannered romance novelist held captive by an obsessive fan.
He is probably best known to younger audiences for his role in 2003’s “Elf,” the Christmas tale in which he played Will Ferrell’s Scrooge-like father, a workaholic children’s book publisher unhappy to learn he has an abnormally cheerful grown son who wears an elf costume and pours maple syrup on his spaghetti.
It was not a cuddly role, but Caan, playing the straight man to Ferrell’s exuberant manchild, brought a welcome dash of cynicism — and many tight-lipped looks of exasperation — that tempered the movie’s sweetness.
In the same CBS interview, Caan said he almost turned down the “Elf” role over the film’s title alone but Ferrell convinced him to join the project.
Caan was born in 1940 in the Bronx borough of New York City to Jewish immigrants. His father was a butcher. He played football at Michigan State and later began studying acting as a student at Hofstra University, where one of his classmates was “Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola.
After appearing in a few plays on and off-Broadway, Caan moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s to launch a film career. Coppola gave him one of his first roles, as a drifter in the 1969 drama “The Rain People.”
Caan’s other memorable movies included the Howard Hawks Western “El Dorado,” James Toback’s “The Gambler” and “A Bridge Too Far” (1977), Richard Attenborough’s ensemble World War II epic.
Later in his career, he appeared on TV in the rebooted “Hawaii Five-0” series, alongside his son Scott Caan.
More recently, actor Damian Conrad-Davis played Caan in “The Offer,” the 2022 Paramount+ miniseries about the making of “The Godfather.”
“Losing Ray Liotta and James Caan within months of each other just tells me God is up there making one helluva mobster movie,” said comedian Johnny Taylor Jr. on Twitter.
“Very sad to hear the news that James Caan has died. Heartbroken for his family & his friends. Wonderful to know him & call him a pal,” actor Gary Sinise said on Twitter. “Jimmy was so supportive of Gary Sinise Foundation & my work w/ our veterans. He will be missed. Thank you my friend. Rest In Peace. God bless you.”
Faizon Love Says ‘Elf 2’ Doesn’t Need Will Ferrell, Time for Black Elf
TMZ.com
Faizon Love says a potential “Elf” sequel doesn’t need the star power of Will Ferrell … he says America is ready for a Santa’s helper redo — a Black elf.
The actor, who played the store manager in the original “Elf,” tells TMZ … he’s surprised Will turned down a $29 million payday for a sequel, but it just opens the door for the movie to go in a new direction.
Faizon says with Will out of the picture, it’s a perfect time to introduce a Black elf into the storyline … and he thinks audiences will embrace the change.
It’s pretty funny … Faizon says America got warmed up with a Black president and then an “orange” president … so a Black elf is just the next step.
Will says he turned down the huge payday because he didn’t think the sequel would ever live up to the OG holiday classic … a decision Faizon says few could make.
Faizon is offering his services though … for a discounted rate and something you might find in a vending machine.
Will Ferrell Reveals Why ‘Elf 2’ Never Happened Despite $29 Million Offer
The film “Elf” quickly became a modern Christmas classic and cemented Will Ferrell as a major box office draw.
There was even a sequel written, and Ferrell had a $29 million offer to reprise his role as Buddy the Elf, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But don’t expect to ever see it: Ferrell told THR he didn’t like the premise.
“I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would’ve been, like, ‘Oh no, it’s not good. I just couldn’t turn down that much money,’” he told the magazine. “And I thought, ‘Can I actually say those words? I don’t think I can, so I guess I can’t do the movie.’”
However, as The Daily Beast noted, co-star James Caan last year said there was more to the story.
Ferrell, he said, didn’t get along with filmmaker Jon Favreau.
“We were gonna do it, and I thought ‘Oh my God, I finally have a franchise movie. I can make some money, let my kids do what the hell they want to do,’” Caan told 92.3 The Fan last year. “The director and Will didn’t get along very well. Will wanted to do it, and he didn’t want the director. He had it in his contract. It was one of those things.”
