Fauci Testimony Turns Chaotic: 'Most Insane Hearing I've Attended'



Rolling Stone link: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/fauci-testimony-turns-chaotic-republicans-conspiracies-1235031827/

A HEARING IN the House Oversight Committee once again devolved into chaos as Republican lawmakers attempted to pillory former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci over his involvement in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fauci was summoned before the committee on Monday, where Republicans grilled him over the effectiveness of social distancing measures, his relationship with major pharmaceutical companies, and a slew of pandemic-era conspiracies.

Never one to miss an opportunity to perform for C-SPAN’s cameras, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) refused to address Fauci as a doctor, refused to allow him to answer questions, and said the veteran civil servant deserves to be in prison.

“Mr. Fauci, because you’re not Doctor [Fauci], you’re Mr. Fauci in my few minutes,” Greene said.

After Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Mass.) raised a point of order, arguing Greene’s refusal to address Dr. Fauci by his title constituted a violation of the committee’s rules, the Georgia congresswoman said Fauci “does not deserve to have a license. As a matter of fact it should be revoked and he belongs in prison.”

The bumpkins eat this performance art up & promptly open their wallets. Margie Traitor Queen isn't there to legislate. She's there to fleece the rubes.

Republicans have turned the House into an ongoing political operation and reality TV show.

No time to actually govern when you have to keep entertaining the base.

any one of whom would probably burst a blood vessel if they were to hear Trump addressed as "Mr. Trump" rather than "President Trump."
