SCRAMBLE BEST OF: The American public deserves better than what Dr. Anthony Fauci did yesterday in front of Congress

Dr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote next weekDr. Anthony Fauci will face a contempt of Congress vote in a Senate committee next week after he invoked the Fifth Amendment in a hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origins.Kentucky Senator Rand Paul led the charge to have the now-retired infectious disease expert testify.But Fauci declined to answer dozens of questions from senators."Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion," said Fauci."Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions. Thank you."Paul told CBS News he believes Fauci could be prosecuted for not answering questions during the hearing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
