Dr. Anthony Fauci was deceiving lawmakers during his Wednesday hearing, according to a body language expert.
After delivering an opening statement in which he claimed Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was out to get him, Fauci took the Fifth Amendment 111 times in response to questions, as noted by The Hill.
While attempting to deflect questions, Fauci’s posture spoke volumes, Dr. Lillian Glass told the New York Post.
“When he was asked poignant questions, his autonomic nervous system took over, and he became flushed, his breathing changed, hunched over, paler, squirmed around, blinked a lot [and] licked his lips — all signals of deception,” Glass said.
Glass noted changes at some points in the hearing when the man Americans had trusted to lead them through COVID shifted from appearing confident and arrogant to “guarded” and “weak.”
