During an interview with Bloomberg’s Emma Barnett recorded on June 9, Biden administration medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to deny purchasing the bizarre Fauci-themed votive prayer candle seen on his shelves during previous interviews.
During the interview, Fauci repeatedly complained about what he described as “the normalization of untruths,” condemning a group of Americans that he accused of being “swept up in conspiracy theories and distortions of reality, and anti-science untruths that create a hostility towards me and the scientific community in general,” Valiant News reported.
At the end of the interview, Barnett asked Fauci about the liberal obsession with him, which has resulted in his face being put on various forms of merchandise.
“What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen your face on?” Barnett asked Fauci. “And have you been bought any of the merchandise?”
Fauci denied purchasing any Fauci-themed items, and claimed that such merchandise has been bestowed upon him in the form of gifts.
“No, I have not,” Fauci said with a chuckle. “I’ve been given some of the merchandise. I certainly have not bought it.”
“Well, have you got a mug, T-shirt?” Barnett asked.
Fauci then appeared to mention the strange Fauci-themed votive prayer candles that were previously spotted on his shelves in previous interviews, which lead to criticism by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“Well, you know, these candles that come out are kind of the more extraordinary. I mean, I can’t imagine I have my face on a candle. That’s really way out there,” Fauci said.

Carlson previously slammed Fauci for sporting the Fauci-themed religious candles in October 2021 on an episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“Tony Fauci is not simply an international treasure, he’s the physical embodiment of science,” Carlson said before playing a clip of Fauci declaring that any disagreement with him is an attack on science itself.
Then, Carlson pointed out that Fauci owns Fauci-themed votive candles.
“Those are Tony Fauci prayer candles, prominently displayed inside Tony Fauci’s home,” Carlson said.“Fauci isn’t just the high priest of Fauciism, he’s also a true believer himself.”
