Hot mic catches Fauci calling GOP senator ‘a moron’

White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci was caught on a hot mic Tuesday calling Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) “a moron” during his testimony before the Senate Health Committee on the omicron variant of the coronavirus.

The tense exchange came as Marshall questioned Fauci about disclosing more of his personal finances to Congress. Marshall cited a Forbes story that reported that Fauci is the highest-paid federal employee, earning $434,312 in 2020. 

“I don’t understand why you’re asking me that question,” Fauci said. “My financial disclosure is public knowledge and has been so for the last 37 years or so.”

“The big tech giants are doing an incredible job of keeping it from being public,” Marshall responded. “We’ll continue to look for it. Where would we find it?” 

“All you have to do is ask for it,” Fauci said. “You’re so misinformed, it’s extraordinary.” 

After the back-and-forth ended, Fauci could be heard muttering, “What a moron” and “Jesus Christ” in a clip tweeted by Mediaite.

    I don’t blame Dr. Fauci. The incessant grilling over nonsense has to be getting to him. And on top of that, there have been threats to him and his family. The Q nuts are going after his wife, Christine Grady, now, saying she heads a “company” that approves medical products (presumably including the vaccines) for the FDA. Miss Grady actually heads the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.

    These hearings have to stop. There is no evidence of wrongdoing on Dr. Fauci’s part. It’s all a witch hunt by Covidiots determined to discredit him so their whacked-out theories about COVID can become mainstream. They just can’t stand that he knows this virus a lot better than they do and that his advice is sound.
