Dr Anthony Fauci invokes Fifth Amendment at Senate COVID hearing
To be clear, American hero Dr. Fauci pled the fifth in order to protect himself from republicans using anything he says to produce propaganda against him, unlike the orange felon who pled the fifth 450 times because he’s guilty AF, but they were more than okay with that. Scumbags.
Tia7During the congressional investigations surrounding the January 6 attack, five House Republicans REFUSED to comply with OFFICIAL SUBPOENAS issued by the House January 6 Committee: Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks.
andigetupagain3.bsky.social4My take on Fauci is he runs circles around anyone in the Trumpy Dumpy regime. His failure was to not extract himself when he could have. He liked the limelight. Like most folks embedded/embroiled w Trump.
Rebel Della 🟧 💜💙4They want to erase all of his accomplishments.
veggieman*3It’s all performative. They’ve got to rile up their base someway or another.
Chez Chatz3It takes all of the fun out of it when he wont play along
Christy🌵🌻2It was an awful show of ignorance and incompetence and stupidity just listening to the way they all berated Dr Fauci made me want to 🤮
History will remember Dr. Anthony Fauci as a hero. The best part? There is nothing the MAGA cult can do to stop that.
Marlena (#felon47 is NOT my President) ❌👑9The face of a true hero 💙
JoanHaskins68So true!! Dr. Fauci is a true national and global hero.
elroy1313.bsky.social4Love the dude. Class act and he is the best of America. His payback for all he has sacrificed is to have a bodyguard for him and his wife the rest of his life. Thank you Dr Fauci.....
Angus McTavish 𝔸𝕄 🇨🇦🇺🇦🦫🍁3Fauci is a HERO Fauci is a GLOBAL HERO
Anne, ProudTreeHugger3God forbid the cult should lay the blame for botching the pandemic squarely on Trump where it belongs.
CLE2Oh, but how they will lower & debase themselves trying!!!
Josh Hawley just posted “no honest person pleads the Fifth” while dunking on Fauci. Meanwhile his party’s leader, tRump, did it 440 times. These guys really think we all forgot. The selective amnesia is wild. www.huffpost.com/entry/sen-jo...
Hansine Ilse of the North Shore10Gggguuurrll only knows one thing … legging it ….🤷🏻♀️
karenski1.bsky.social5Josh hawley just do what you do best
Ursa3Senator by day, Ed Grimley at night
Ferlin23No honest person pleads the 5th again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and ...440!
ksrnow2Trump "same answer" almost 440x. Eric Trump = took the 5th 500x. Sen. Scott = 75x. Cc: Sen. Hawley
Wolf11132Just remember him running away from the Capitol on J-6. That’s all we need to do to shut this coward up.
@dennis74.bsky.social10This is the same guy who cameras caught running as his republicans friends were breaking into the capitol on Jan 6th. Republicans don’t like when people use their denials against them!! Vote democrat in every district in every state! Include all Senate and governor races in every state! Just vote 💙💙
Chuck Taggart, Private Eye7Josh Hawley is a fascist pigfucker.
Chuck Taggart, Private Eye3Not only is Josh Hawley a fascist pigfucker, but this is some bullshit. The Fifth Amendment exists to protect the innocent.
Elliot Blake2There’s no universe where this cowardly fascist wouldn’t plead the Fifth if he needed to.
Fauci may invoke his 5th Am right, despite Biden’s pardon, which applies only to crimes he “may” have committed in the past. Unless Congress grants him immunity from using his statements against him, he has a reasonable fear of future prosecution from this DOJ. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
thedad2024.bsky.social11He would be stupid to talk to this congress, look what they have tried to do to Comey , and others. He is not a dumb man at all. He saved my life when all the maga were dying all around me from not wearing masks
B Gilmer10This creates a problem for Congressional oversight if any witness has credible fear that just showing up can result in a referral. Seems Smith got referred for prosecution for something he was not asked at all, but based on whet Jim Jordan wanted him to say.
Emmy1088So Republicans could prosecute Fauci for some random comment he makes in a hearing? Is that what they're angling for?
Mark Brandriss6Absolutely, but I'd call it a near-certainty rather than a reasonable fear. As Fauci noted in his brief comments, the main purpose of the hearing was to give Republicans a pretext to start investigating him again. They want to turn it into a farcical media circus before the midterms.
hopelessinamerica.bsky.social5He committed no crimes. This is classic Trump. Distraction from…. This time Iran
snowbanker.bsky.social4Josh Hawley's arrogance and disrespectful theatrics were disgraceful in tone and substance.
RAND PAUL is as UGLY & DISGUSTING as they get‼️....He was a Shitty doctor; he's a Shitty Senator and an Asshole Excuse for a Human being.... 🖕 the IGNORAMUS for the way he treated Dr. Fauci & his lawyer‼️...Paul's neighbor was waaay too kind to POS Paul‼️
Mils2814You said it all. Rand Paul needs Round #2 with his neighbor
Matt M.3When I run for president, my campaign will center on vowing to pardon Rand’s neighbor if he tries again and succeeds.
Cranky Cracker2Well stated. I agree 100%. Him and his racist piece of shit father
Blue Feral2I wonder how his neighbor is doing. For no particular reason.
Paul Scarpelli1You're referring to Dr. Len Scrafters, mall optometrist??
carpevinum1.bsky.social1Every time I hear Rand Paul speak, I want to buy his neighbor a beer.
for anyone losing their shit over Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment at least 100 times during his Senate hearing
born miserable24Fox News is currently juggling conspiracy theories over what Fauci is hiding in his diaries but hey, if Trump and his henchmen defy subpoenas and invoke the Fifth, that’s presidential immunity blah blah blah
Well, That Was Spooky7Weird how these freaks are convinced it was a horrible disease grown in a lab but also nothing to worry about and masks were foolish.
WuClanTang, Algae Horticulturalist3That poor guy. WHY?!?! What do they want from him? I’m not even sure what they’re saying he did wrong.
Rachel2Gee why would he do that with a crooked senate? Hard to imagine eh?
Watching Dr. Fauci today, having to plead the Fifth, will remain one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever witnessed. And then hearing Sen. Moreno ask him, “Who the fuck do you think you are?” To me, it reflects a profound loss of respect, for both public service and the office he holds.
slindquist.bsky.social14Moreno is a stain on Ohio and those who voted for him. Plus, I’m glad he’s not my father; he can’t even defend his own daughter and call for her ex to resign. Party over family.
Inbtwnthedarkandthelight11The Senator was more out raged with Dr. Fauci than what he was with his daughters abuser.
Midnitestork.bsky.social 🇨🇦9These elected officials are a national embarrassment.
DebbieLynn (she/her)7This Colombian immigrant car salesman is asking Dr Fauci who he thinks he is? 😂
ƬӨЯᄃΉIΛ4Absolutely insane. Moreno is a clown. I’d love to slap him across the face as hard as I possibly can.
fatimap72.bsky.social2Does Moreno up for election in 2026?
I am pleasantly surprised to see something politically relevant and morally upstanding coming from TMZ. Like Harvey Levin, I also lost many friends to AIDS in the 80s and 90s, but many are alive today because of the hard work of Anthony Fauci. This commentary is worth watching.
Mi nombre es Teo2It’s not that it’s not worth watching. He makes some decent points but I hope everyone has this in mind when they do. So when he repeats misguided talking points created after the fact & offers unfounded crticism of exceedingly difficult decisions you have proper context of what it was really like
Paul C Pinkosh1Fauci is a hero in Thailand for his work in fighting AIDS there.
Dr. Fauci Deserves Praise ✳ Helped design President's Emergency Plan for AIDS & is credited with saving 20 to 25 million lives from HIV/AIDS globally ✳ Guided the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccine saving an estimated 3.2 million lives between December 2020 to November 2022 ✳ Embarrassed Rand Paul
The Best Words6I’m embarrassed that he was called to testify. The brazen grandstanding by his inferior inquisitors, like Sen. Paul, was galling.
Gary Ray Betz1This is so ludicrous and dangerous how the MAGA GOP, with the help of Joe Rogan, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Aaron Rodgers is persecuting the brilliant and courageous hero Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a man who saved thousands, if not millions, of American lives through his years of altruistic public service!
GetWisdomDude 21Dr. Fauci Is An American Hero. He's Done More Good Than All The Republican Hyenas Tied Together. Why Haven't We Seen Republicans Grill The Predators In The Epstein Pedophile Files? Who Are They Protecting Besides tЯump. Shameful. bsky.app/profile/getw...

DonOffie5A nation without dignity, Without promise or hope, The leadership is ignorance, And the entire world knows, Led by a clown with dementia, Who dozes throughout the day, They attack anyone with integrity, And the citizenry is ashamed.
3Crows2Rand Paul is an unhinged idiot right now.
Another opportunity to note that Ron Johnson was among the senators who went to Moscow for the 4th of July in 2018. One year earlier, John McCain stood on the Senate floor and said Rand Paul, leader of today's witch hunt, said “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin." 🧅
quesera2u.bsky.social2Ron Johnson has the Audacity to question anyone after participating in Jan6. Moscow R Johnson is an empty vessel bowing down to Felon47.
anglospud.bsky.social1Bless my heart he's an idiot. As research shows COVID vaccine provides protection against heart attacks here's hoping these %"#@ refused them. Buh-bye bozo.
