WATCH HERE: Senator Bernie Moreno Drops F-BOMB On Dr. Fauci

During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Senator Bernie Moreno tore into Anthony Fauci using explicit language while pressing the former public health official on the government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Who the f*** do you think you were?” Moreno, an Ohio Republican, asked Fauci. “It is a total disgrace what you did to this country.”

He further accused Fauci — the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — of being “more interested in being a celebrity than saving the American people.”

Fauci, an immunologist, became a household name while helping lead President Donald Trump’s response to the pandemic. Though he initially won praise from Trump, he later drew fierce criticism from conservatives who opposed pandemic restrictions.

His appearance at today’s Senate committee hearing followed a subpoena from Senator Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, who sought answers about the origins of the virus and his handling of lockdown measures.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) threw an attorney representing Dr. Anthony Fauci out of the room in a shocking clash at Wednesday’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee hearing.

The wild moment happened at the end of Paul’s questioning of Fauci — in which the former head of the NIAID repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to engage. David Schertler, an attorney for Fauci who had been sitting behind his client, sat down next to him and tried to talk into the microphone.

“You’re not recognized, you’re not recognized!” Paul said. “If you are unruly, you will be removed from the proceeding.”

Schertler kept trying to talk, but his words were difficult to make out.

“You were told not to sit at the table,” Paul said. “You insist on sitting at the table. And we told you, you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir! You are being disruptive! Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can’t do that today, but I can have you escorted from the premises. So I would say, sir, sit quietly and don’t say another word.”

Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) told Paul he would like to hear from Schertler, but Paul denied the request. Eventually, he made good on his threat to kick Paul out.

“Security, please remove him from the room!” Paul said — as Schertler was escorted out. “Let the record state that Dr. Fauci will still have the advice of the other half a dozen attorneys that he brought along today.”
