Dr. Anthony Fauci fired back Friday on Fox News at a freshman congressman’s call for a potential criminal investigation against him if the GOP retakes the House of Representatives in 2024.
Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., on Tuesday called Fauci a “punk” and accused him of using his newfound prominence to further his career.
“I normally have a great amount of respect for the people who work here on Capitol Hill, knowing that although we have different ideas on how to accomplish it, we are all trying to work for the betterment of the American people … right now that is not the case with Anthony Fauci,” Cawthorn alleged, ripping the National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Disease director for combative testimony before Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
Cawthorn went on to accuse Fauci of being a “pawn” of the Chinese Communist Party and promised that if Republicans regain the Speaker’s gavel, he will “make sure consequences are doled out.”
“We want to prosecute this guy to the full ability of the law,” he said.
Fauci, maintained his commitment to the truth! “I never have a regret about telling the truth, or about doing my job,” Fauci said.
