John Kennedy says Fauci ‘ought to buy an emotional support pony’ amid email backlash

Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, should realize the investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic “isn’t about his feelings” and insisted the doctor “ought to buy an emotional support pony.”

On June 1, more than 3,200 pages of Fauci’s emails were released via a Freedom of Information Act request by BuzzFeed, sparking renewed conversations regarding the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic. After facing sharp backlash from conservative figures, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Wednesday that attacks on him were “attacks on science.”

“A lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science,” he said on a segment of Meet the Press Daily. “If you are trying to get at me as a public health official and a scientist, you’re really attacking, not only Dr. Anthony Fauci, you’re attacking science. And anybody that looks at what’s going on clearly sees that.”

“Every time I’m asked about Dr. Fauci, I say the same thing,” the Republican told Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “I know Dr. Fauci, I like Dr. Fauci, I respect Dr. Fauci, but Dr. Fauci needs to cut the crap. This isn’t about Dr. Fauci, it’s not about his feelings, and I’m sorry if his feelings were hurt. You know, maybe he ought to buy an emotional support pony.”

  1. Science without adequate trustworthy data is merely conjecture. Passing off conjecture as science is a sin against science and humankind.
