U.S. Senate committee votes to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday was held in contempt of Congress by a Republican-led Senate committee, just over a week after the longtime federal health official invoked the Fifth Amendment, declining to answer questions about his guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The hearing is supposed to be about investigating the origins of the #coronavirus, but #Republicans are largely using it to attack & disparage Dr. #Fauci personally, trying to paint a picture of him as pursuing fame & money at Americans’ expense, & mocking him for taking the #FifthAmendment. Senator #BernieMoreno, Republican of Ohio, says aloud one main consequence of today’s hearing: It will produce video clips that Republicans can use to campaign. -Sick🤬 #ConspiracyTheories #science #law
