Democratic Rep Brutally Mocks Marjorie Taylor Greene's Attack On Dr. Fauci
HuffPost
"I did want you to know most Americans don't think she represents Congress," Jared Moskowitz told Fauci during a House subcommittee hearing.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) attempted to rake Dr. Anthony Fauci over the coals on Monday, only to be criticized for her fiery rhetoric and burned by a fellow member of Congress.
Fauci, who was the top U.S. infectious disease expert until leaving the government in 2022, faced intense questioning from Republican lawmakers about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether U.S.-funded research in China may have played any role in how it started during a House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing.
Greene used her time to tell Fauci she did not consider him a doctor and emphasized that by calling him “Mr. Fauci.”
“Do you think that’s appropriate? Do the American people deserve to be abused like that, Mr. Fauci?” Greene asked. “Because you’re not ‘Dr.,’ you’re ‘Mr. Fauci’ in my few minutes.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) took umbrage at Greene’s comments and asked Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), the chairman of the subcommittee, if the rules of decorum allowed members “to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don’t want him to be a doctor?”
