I think you're reading too much into the quoted bit.
It's not that Fauci works for the CDC, it's that the administration is/was attacking both, in a way seems to be related to random political concerns and resentments rather than legitimate issues or logic.
As such, one may doubt anything they do regarding shifting responsibilities around. Framing the situation as if everything is pro- or anti-Fauci is kind of playing into the warped outlook of the administration at this exact moment. It won't last as it never does.[1]

- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI dunno, frustration with the CDC has been pretty bipartisan. Remember back in February when they delivered a bunch of faulty tests?
- WalterGR 6y agoPretty sure people remember that. There was bipartisan frustration about the tests. Are there other times that the frustration was bipartisan and not because the CDC is another source of truth that the administration wants to silence so that their narrative of the Coronavirus isn’t contradicted?
