Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton blasted National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci on Monday, arguing in a Fox News interview he is “acting as a Democratic Party activist in a white lab coat.”
“Why doesn’t he tell us what science, what data backs up the Biden administration’s stupid mask mandate for airports and airplanes? Are you more likely to get the coronavirus in an airport than you are a shopping mall?
“Or an airplane with its massive filtration systems? Is it really necessary to kick off a family with an autistic child who can’t wear a mask peacefully for an entire airplane? Does Dr. Fauci have evidence to support that from the data and the science?”
Cotton also noted the restrictions from Facebook on the matter. “We shouldn’t allow Tony Fauci and Facebook to determine what we can and cannot say about this virus,” he said.
The senator further argued the COVID-19 virus was handled as a political issue by Democrats from the beginning.
“From the very beginning, the Democrats saw this pandemic as a way to defeat the former president in the election last year. And anything he said or I said was rejected by the science even if it was proven correct in retrospect,” Cotton said.
“Again it just goes to show that Tony Fauci almost from the beginning has been working as more as a Democratic Party activist in a white lab coat, not a public health expert,” he added.
Hate to burst the bubble about “great filtration” system on airplane…the cabin filters often have MOLD on them… they are hardly ever changed… totally disgusting…ask an airplane mechanic about it sometime…
I am more pissed with myself for gluing to the daily briefs, thinking this little shit was the word because simple ass pence was running things. Turns out, the only ones that had any smarts were the good president, the admiral and surgeon general. All other ass kissers were there for their own benefit.
Good description of Mr. Flip flop.
