After the hearing, Rand said the committee would vote on the issue next week. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Media Came To The Defense of Dr. Fauci<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete waste of taxpayers\u2019 money was not a hit with social media, with many calling out Republicans for trying to relitigate the events of the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo asking sitting Sen. Mitch McConnell to prove that he can serve after being in the hospital for over a month is a \u2018campaign ploy\u2019 according to Rand Paul but pulling Dr. <strong>Fauci<\/strong> out of retirement to answer questions about COVID from 6 years ago for the 10th time isn\u2019t????,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/covie_93\/status\/2082507465568944299?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/davidaxelrod\/status\/2082545497882169637?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Axelrod said on X<\/a>, \u201cThere was plenty senators could have asked Dr. <strong>Fauci<\/strong> about what lessons he learned, and the country should, from the COVID pandemic. Instead they engaged in an obvious attempt to demonize and entrap the 85-year-old, who received the Medal of Freedom from a Republican POTUS for the work he did to save millions here and abroad from the AIDS epidemic. This was not about public health. It was about one senators longstanding vendetta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Where\u2019s the lie? <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a damn shame how Republicans, like Ohio senator Bernie Moreno, who hilariously has his own drama involving Ohio Rep. Max Miller, who allegedly threatened to kill his ex-wife Emily Moreno, the daughter of the Ohio senator, treated Fauci, a man who gave his lfie to serving his country. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"load-later load-later-vendor-twittercom\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/2082474565544861864?s=20\" data-content=\"%3Cblockquote%20class%3D%22twitter-tweet%22%20data-width%3D%22500%22%20data-dnt%3D%22true%22%3E%3Cp%20lang%3D%22en%22%20dir%3D%22ltr%22%3EMoreno%20to%20Fauci%3A%20%26quot%3BWho%20the%20fuck%20did%20you%20think%20you%20were%3F%26quot%3B%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FC74AKg3Zc9%22%3Epic.twitter.com%2FC74AKg3Zc9%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fp%3E%26mdash%3B%20Aaron%20Rupar%20%28%40atrupar%29%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fatrupar%2Fstatus%2F2082474565544861864%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw%22%3EJuly%2029%2C%202026%3C%2Fa%3E%3C%2Fblockquote%3E%3Cscript%20async%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.x.com%2Fwidgets.js%22%20charset%3D%22utf-8%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see more reactions below. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna Moneymaker \/ Dr. Fauci Republicans are down so bad right now that they are revisiting the COVID-19 pandemic and are trying to blame Dr. Anthony Fauci for how it was handled.
