NBC News Liz Cheney attacked over support for Fauci during GOP meeting

WASHINGTON — Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Tuesday faced down a group of GOP Freedom Caucus critics who complained about her public support for Dr. Anthony Fauci and her support for Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s primary opponent.

Cheney, chair of the House GOP Conference, defended Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, during a closed-door conference meeting, according to a source familiar with her remarks.

On May 12, Cheney tweeted: "Dr. Fauci is one of the finest public servants we have ever had. He is not a partisan. His only interest is saving lives. We need his expertise and his judgment to defeat this virus. All Americans should be thanking him. Every day."

The White House has in recent weeks clashed with Fauci, who President Donald Trump recently referred to as "alarmist" over his continued warnings about coronavirus pandemic. Fauci last week called the attempts to discredit him "bizarre."

Fauci is smart while the GOP is the stupid party. They feel threatened.
