U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) launched a vehement attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Republican-led House hearing on the coronavirus pandemic Monday. Refusing to acknowledge Fauci’s title of “Dr.,” Greene propagated misinformation and conspiracy theories, prompting Democrats to denounce her remarks as “crazy and irresponsible” and demand their removal from the record as reported by Raw Story.
Dr. Fauci, who served as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 until the end of 2022, was a central figure in the public health response to the pandemic under both the Trump and Biden administrations. However, he became a frequent target of criticism from the right, with Congresswoman Greene often leading these attacks. During the hearing, Greene disparaged what she termed as Fauci’s “so-called science.”
According to The Independent, the Georgia Congresswoman “screamed and raged at Fauci” during the session held by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Republicans have been attempting to prove that Fauci suppressed information about the origins of COVID-19 and funded research that allegedly triggered the pandemic, which has claimed millions of lives worldwide.
In her tirade, Greene asserted, “We should be recommending you to be prosecuted.
