Anthony Fauci’s congressional testimony this week was such an insult to the entire country. It was just stunning to see him repeatedly invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer every single question posed to him.
During an appearance on the Sean Hannity show, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, who had an amazing exchange with Fauci during the hearing, suggested that Fauci actually had no right to invoke the Fifth Amendment because he received immunity from the Biden administration.
This offers some hope to anyone who still wants to see Fauci held accountable for his actions during Covid.
Partial transcrip by Sean Hannity:
“As a lawyer and former attorney general of my state, I can tell you that when you get immunity—and he’s got it. He’s got immunity from Joe Biden. I wish he didn’t, but he’s got it. He has as much immunity as Hunter Biden has. When you have that, you can’t invoke the Fifth. And he came in today and invoked the Fifth because he is guilty as all get out, and he knows it.
But what he did today was wrong. He did not have the right to do it. I think we should hold him in contempt. And, Sean, here’s just a little hint to viewers at home: innocent people don’t invoke the Fifth. Fauci invoked it 111 times. You draw your own conclusion.”

In a recent tweet, Hawley said that he is looking forward to voting to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress.
I look forward to casting my vote next week to hold Fauci in contempt.
He’s a scam artist and needs to be held accountable.

This needs to happen and the Republicans must be united in this effort.
It shouldn’t even be up for debate.
