Jamie Raskin Trolls MAGA Republicans With An Apology To Dr. Fauci
HuffPost
The Democrat hit back at GOP attacks on the infectious disease expert with a Donald Trump-themed zinger.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Monday slammed House Republicans for the way they treated Dr. Anthony Fauci during a hearing on the coronavirus pandemic.
The heated hearing saw far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claiming she didn’t consider Fauci to be a doctor. The conspiracy theory-peddling lawmaker insisted on calling him “Mr. Fauci” throughout the proceedings.
Fauci was America’s top U.S. infectious disease expert until leaving government in 2022 and was the public face of the country’s response to the COVID public health crisis.
Raskin, during the hearing, apologized to Fauci “that some of our colleagues in the United States’ House of Representatives seem to want to drag your name through the mud.”
“They’re treating you Dr. Fauci like a convicted felon,” said Raskin.
