He was at a book party in Washington DC. Someone at the above party also noticed that Fauci had his mask on when others did not have it on. It was also reported that he would have his face mask on, or off, depending on who he was with. In his defense, Fauci claimed that he wore a mask if someone came near that he did not know.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fauci was spotted with a naked face on Tuesday while attending a book party for ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl at the high-end DC Italian spot Cafe Milano, Politico reported. The outlet noted that Fauci would wear or remove the mask depending on who was around him.<\/p>\n<p>Novelist Sally Quinn &#8212; who once wrote an erotic novel featuring a Fauci-inspired character &#8212; told the outlet that the NIAID director said he was planning to put the mask on if someone he &#8220;didn&#8217;t know&#8221; came up to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said, &#8216;You seem pretty ambivalent about your mask&#8217; because no one else was wearing one,&#8221; Quinn told Politico. &#8220;He said, &#8216;I just decided that if anyone came up that I didn&#8217;t know, I would put my mask on.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quinn also noted that &#8220;paparazzi&#8221; were trying to snap some picks of the maskless COVID-19 presidential adviser &#8212; who has made masking up a key feature of his tenure at the agency during the pandemic &#8212; to get a &#8220;gotcha moment&#8221; from Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that the citywide mask mandate would end by next Monday.<\/p>\n<p>NIAID did not immediately respond to Fox News&#8217; request for comment on if Fauci&#8217;s going maskless aligned with the message he is sending to Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci has come under fire from conservatives and liberals alike for his policies, which have been relatively inconsistent since the pandemic began.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is a video, from the past, showing Fauci removing his facemask when he thought the cameras were not rolling.
