Except worse. McCarthy never had the lawyer of someone subpoenaed to testify thrown out of the chamber…never had someone’s legal counsel removed from the room. & why no censure for the unfounded accusations & threats from Republican senators, or for the foul-mouthed attack by Moreno. 😡

Because ~sigh~ in the Real World™️ Republicans Get Away With Everything™️. Sadly, we all know that, although this could be flipped at any moment, this is how things work. It’s been like this since Saint Ronnie of blessèd memory. But equally sadly, people are on the whole content that this is so.

It’s such an egregious overreach it’s not the flex they think it is. That they are so dense they don’t realize it is an own goal of epic proportions. Next up? A good grilling of “Mom and apple pie” on request of McDonaid’s lobbying against pie making competitors?!?!

What they did to Dr. Fauci today is dangerous. Every public health scientist has to be alarmed. When we have the next health crisis, what credible person will be willing to be on the frontline of a potential unpredictable and deadly pandemic? Rand Paul will be responsible for future dead Americans.

"Who the f--- do you think you were for doing that?” Moreno told MAX MILLER. "There is no defense of what you did ... ” Oops. Should've read 'told Fauci'. No Moreno comment about the beating & threats Miller, the MAGA GOP house rep, allegedly did to his daughter.🤔 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

I got my first Reddit gold for going hyperfocus in the CDC data, and either there was a comorbidity killing ppl with the exact same symptoms as Covid that was running rampant (upwards of 5000% higher than 5 and 10 year averages) ONLY in red states, or they were drasticaly undereporting covid cases

It's a shit show by Republicans. They ALL should be thankful that he saved us from an early death. How many Americans died from covid? It's a distraction from the failing war with Iran that he started. He should ask Zelenskyy.

Dr. Fauci handled it well but even if he's in the best of health, he's 85 years old and this is very stressful. It breaks my heart to see him being treated like this by these inquisitors who seem to be going out of their way to be cruel. I'm surprised they didn't stick pins under his nails.

Moreno was auditioning for a trump cabinet job, had to be. Other wise who in their mind would swear and slam Fauci? The guy got our country back on track, no one liked the mask deal or closings but he did his job. I’m grateful. Moreno is a fuck off who is full of himself! And I’m 🤮of him

Watching this hearing absolutely pissed me off. Dr. Fauci has more class, intelligence, compassion and love for his country than any of these spineless grandstanders.

Trumps lawyer was Roy Cohn. — Roy Marcus Cohn February 20, 1927 – August 2, 1986) was an American lawyer and prosecutor. Prosecutor of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in their trials (1952–1953) both executed. Cohn assisted Senator McCarthy's investigations of “suspected”communists in the 50s. Fuck them.

Anthony Fauci is an American hero who prevented thousands of potential COVID deaths, unlike the Mango Mussolini. 🤬 I have COPD and wear a mask everyday, doctor's orders and my choice. It's no one's goddamn business but mine. #fucktrump #fuckrandpaul

Nailed it, nailed it, nailed it. The only thing Adam failed to note... is that the ENTIRE WORLD - Democratic 1st World Countries... All did the same mask, school, public health precautions as US and Fauci did. And the 1million dead... can be attributed to US being one of the last countries to act.

You are exactly correct! Remember that McCarthyism came from Roy Cohn. Roy Cohn is the spiritual father of first felon and the fourth Reich Cabal. They just keep trotting out the same illegitimate strategy time after time.

The guy has dedicated his life to helping others, and the GOP are willing to put him in prison to score political points with their science-addled base and to appease their senile leader. They will do the same to anyone.

I feel it’s appropriate to share my Christmas 2020 Dr Fauci tree. I used toilet paper for garland, band aids, masks, pill boxes, gloves for ornaments. I ended up putting a photo of my hero, Dr. Fauci, as my tree topper. Originally posted to my FB Dec 2020. Post in comments. He’s a national hero.

A relative, Ronnie, DJT's age, narcissist on hospice. Wife running errands, Ronnie asks caretaker pull up porn site on 'puter. Suddenly he's writhing on the floor immense pain, screaming. EMT's/hospital scans. Nothin. kicked off hospice for pulling a muscle on porn. DJT/Iran/ Fauci. #PullThePlug

DEATH looked away from the screen "I truly thought the Inquisition, the witch burning & the belief in magic were long gone but no the stupidity of man knows no such bounds' PESTILENCE grinned "I am so pleased, centuries of being called Conquest & I am back!" WAR chuckled " Har Megiddo? Very soon!"

I normally agree with you, but masking was neither silly nor crazy. You should know better than to use language like that. If you’re immunocompromised and someone else has been in your vehicle, masking is the opposite of silly or crazy.

Fauci is the true American. He and his team saved lives during the Aids epidemic in the 1980s and he definitely saved lives during the covid pandemic. He should be honoured by all of America and not threatened with jail by idiots like Rand Paul and Josh Hawley.

Anybody remember the first time they got Covid? I mean with the vaccine. I was vaccinated as soon as it was available and then like everyone else subsequently got Covid. It was rough. I mean, I will never forget what that was like. But I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like...

... WITHOUT the vaccine! Damn thing probably saved my life. I'm older and somewhat disabled, so.yeah. I'm lucky to be alive right now. And BTW, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Trump himself hospitalized with the damn thing? I could be wrong but I thought he was. Vaccine probably saved his...

... life too. And now they're all about hating on Fauci. Dude's work probably saved millions of lives. And then once it became worldwide, we could be talking billions of people who'd be dead right now if not for the vaccine Fauci helped develop

It was appalling. A disgrace. Dr. Fauci might not be perfect BUT you don't have to be perfect to serve this country for over 50 years and help to save millions of lives. Those men, that circus, have no business being in the same room as the doctor...let alone berate him. I'm sorry, Dr. Fauci.

These morons are not doing anything for the American people. They are nothing but low life thugs working for one man, who just wants to destroy his critics. I wish the American people would wake the fuck up and help us get rid of these useless idiots!

Why are we wasting taxpayers money on this hearing when this happened six years ago Oh yea save trump butt. Not happening this all happened on trumps dime ! trump is the one that threw out the pandemic policy and procedures guide and said he didn’t need it . another great idea brought you by trump

Again maga trying to blame someone else for trumps failure to handle the pandemic.Drink bleach he said,it will go in the spring he said.Why isn’t trump being held for his absolute failure to handle COVID. Million died on his watch.Don’t talk to us about contempt trump and maga followers were all 

In contempt, ignoring subpoenas not showing up. Not returning documents that trump stole! Paul has the nerve to yell contempt at Dr. Fauci. That hearing was absolutely a assassination attempt on Dr.Fauci credibility nothing more to try to save trumps failures of the pandemic, 

This is an excellent analysis of the shameful Medical McCarthy hearing of Dr. Anthony Fauci. Yes, it is Dr. Fauci did his best while Trump spouted absurd & dangerous "cures." Many people died unnecessarily due to Trump's ignorance & lies & his son-in-law's incompetence supplying PPE to hospitals.

Except he really silently ripped rand Paul a new one, and that was some quiet, sweet justice, in a time where there is 💯 no justice in this day and age, only hypocrisy and crime. Back to the Epstein files.

Nothing has changed. The GOP Muppets have been represented by morons like we saw today for many decades. Adam Kinzinger played his part in this cruel and destructive clown show for years. Kinzinger voted for The Rapist on 2016 and 2020. Kinzinger voted for GOP representatives in 2024. Explain please

Yes. I can't stand these types that pretend to have sobered up while not admitting that 95% of what they stood for hasn't changed. Liz Cheney, Bill Barr, Jeff Flake, Michael Cohen, Chris Christie and hundreds more. In my opinion not one of them has been honest about what they really stand for.

Well done everyone who facilitated the Fauci farce - you just guaranteed that the US govt will be deprived of objective scientific input for the next 10 years at least Idiots

Thanks for this. It was comforting to see that someone was as angry as I was at the disgusting display by those Republican Senators. They were complete jerks.

Beating the “The communists are coming!” drum paired with this re-run is reminiscent of the McCarthy Trails but worse because they are accusing Dr. Fauci of being responsible for the COVID deaths.

It was a joke to try to blame Fauci. Trump should’ve been called to defend is total mishandling. He did not take it seriously and is responsible for over 1million Americans dying. Including my mother. #TrumpFail #IdiotTrump #TrumpCrime Total incompetence! Horse medicine Really? Inject bleach? IDIOT

So true. How much lower can the Trump-party sink. They’ve literally destroyed the NHS and CDC at a point in human history when they are needed most. I guess they want to play Russian-roulette with upcoming pandemics and go on witch hunts rather than invest in science-based public health.

Proof, if it were necessary, how frightened Trump and his cronies are and how desperate their need to distract from Epstein files - the more this goes on the more they are confirming just how bad those files are for prominent USA figures in the political and business community

More than likely Dr. Fauci had all of his personal papers, emails, text, journals, etc. subpoenaed by the Committee. He probably thought he was doing the right thing by turning them over. Of course they were used against him. Always invoke the 5th, folks. Your words WILL be used against you.

I am glad to hear your passion about today’s hearing. It’s heartbreaking to hear them try to destroy a man that dedicated his life to helping keep Americans free of disease. Paul & Moreno were despicable. Dr Fauci did the best he could with the knowledge we had at the time, we all did.

The most disgraceful day in the Senate of All time!! Repubs bashed Dr Fauci about conspiracies & rumors he has answered for years. At first he was investigating the Wuhan lab But later investigations he said it could be the Market where other diseases have originated. He wasn’t sure. Unresolved.

Australian here. We’re supposed to be friends. The friendship has seen some strain lately. Speaking as a long term friend, USA get your shit together. Fauci was your voice of reason during the pandemic. FFS.

#30million8/30 Waiting for the media to correct the mistake? Waiting for politicians to correct the mistake? Waiting for midterms to correct the mistake? Waiting for you to take to the streets and do something by showing we are a large force should not be a waiting game.

Problem with these Repubs …is that they will get the best healthcare from the scientific knowledge that Dr.Fauci and others researched…So do you think that they would ever take ivermectin to cure a pandemic disease???never….so they benefit and their moron base suffers and dies.Grotesque 😝

This just amazes me that even after losing nearly 1 million Americans, the moderate politician says you went too far! Australia had 1/3 to 1/10th the death rate (in different phases) and went hard. Even the moderates just wanted to sacrifice 100 of thousands extra! #astounding

The wrong person was testifying before Congress yesterday Fauci deserves our thanks The vaccine deniers, the ones pushing dangerous treatments, the anti-maskers should be testifying Fauci has been here before. Reagan ignored him on HIV/AIDS Fauci is an American hero Rand Paul is an asshole

Perhaps the Rep party should focus their attention to current events. Iran debacle, dreadful economy, rogue dangerous ICE agents ... instead they revisit revisionist history. Fauci... In my view, spearheaded a covid response based in science. They should be ashamed of their behavior

Masks do work. Between the vaccine and mask wearing at the time, I never got COVID, thankfully. Even later in the height of flu season, I'd wear a mask if I was going to be in a crowded area for a short time, and I haven't had the flu in years either.

Ignorant too. Covid did come out of a lab in China. That was figured out early on. China was embarrassed by the mishap. Now what difference does that make. Trump sent 18 tons of PPE gear to China early on. Stuff we would need because these idiots couldn’t wear a mask. These people are dumb.
