A Notorious COVID Troll Actually Works for Dr. Fauci’s Agency

He's "retiring" after being outed.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...adelphia-paper

Tom Ridge, the former Republican governor of Pennsylvania and the first U.S. secretary of Homeland Security, has announced he will be backing former Vice President Joe Biden in the presidential race, saying in an op-ed that President Trump “lacks the empathy, integrity, intellect and maturity to lead.”

Ridge, who served in former President George W. Bush's administration, said in an op-ed in The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday that his decision to vote for Biden in November will mark the first time he has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.
