House Republicans forced Dr. Anthony Fauci to answer for inconsistencies in his approach to Covid-19 during his Monday morning testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. The hearing was Fauci’s first public testimony since announcing his retirement, and several committee members called for Fauci to be prosecuted over the disastrous and unfounded restrictions he championed during the pandemic.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene led the charge, calling for an investigation into Fauci’s role as a bureaucrat who created and advocated for baseless restrictions during the pandemic.
“You know what this committee should be doing? We should be recommending you to be prosecuted,” Greene said. “We should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. You belong in prison, Dr. Fauci.”
Prison.
That’s where Anthony Fauci belongs.

Monday’s hearing underlined the inconsistencies and baseless judgment calls Fauci made during his tenure, highlighting the fact that the pandemic policies and regulations initiated by Fauci did not coincide with what the studies would have justified and demanded. Transcripts of Fauci’s January 2024 closed-door testimony, released over the weekend by Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup, further detailed the failures of Fauci’s pandemic-era domestic policy.
