Dr. Fauci is being investigated by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who promotes QAnon conspiracies

Ronny Jackson, a drunk doc who said Trump would live to be 200

Boebert, an insurrectionist who barely got a GED

Jordan who hid sex crimes

These morons aren’t fit to shine Fauci’s shoes

Fauci wont, but the rest of us might.

Fauci wont deserve it, but if we cant figure out how to speak to people to get them to vote, we have no future.

I am certainly not sure that's what happened, but gain of function experiments with deadly viruses should never be done in my opinion. Some gain of function experimentation has actually been published in legitimate science journals. It's just too dangerous.

Dr. Fauci denies that this was GoF though. A lot of GoF scientists are quite proud and loud with their experimentation, like Ron Fouchier. In 2014 the US Government put a pause on GoF experiments. Not sure why they started allowing them again in 2019.

Frankly, if I was him, I would go spend my retirement in Switzerland and tell them all to go fuck themselves.

Republicans spent well over $100 million investigating Hillary and her innocence 🙄 so it's pretty much up to them.

Mind you, republicans are all about fiscal responsibility, so I wouldn't think they'd spend too much time and money on someone as innocent as Dr. Fauci.

I would like to see him provided legal counsel for free. I hope he sends a legal team who can clearly tell these clowns to fuck off. Fauci shouldn't have to suffer these fools for one second.

worrying about that clown posse. He could wind them up and let them twirl.

ETA: He'd probably have a tough time keeping a straight face, similar to when he had to stand there while Trump blathered on.

A man who spent his entire professional career saving lives through public service is hauled into a Kangaroo Court run by the Clown Posse.

Disgusting!
