Sen. Moreno to Dr. Anthony Fauci: "Who the f--- do you think you are?!?"

[0:00] I'll echo Senator Johnson's comments about your opening statement, Mr. Chairman. I think it was [0:04] it was dead on. Very, very well done. Mr. Fauci, do you know who David Shirtler is? [0:13] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth [0:18] Amendment to the Constitution. Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. What does the Fifth Amendment [0:25] of the Constitution say? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my [0:38] rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. No, I'm just asking you what it says. [0:43] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth [0:49] Amendment to the Constitution. I'm going to give the Constitution to my aide. He'll bring it over [0:54] to you so you can have it for future reference. I think it's something that every American should [0:59] know what the Constitution says. Do you know who wrote the Fifth Amendment? On the advice of counsel, [1:04] I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. [1:09] So you're invoking a right that you don't know who wrote it or what it says. Is that correct? [1:13] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth [1:19] Amendment to the Constitution. Wow. Well, let me tell you who David Shirtler is for the audience [1:24] because he was ejected by the chairman. He's a high-profile criminal attorney. He's represented [1:31] some really great people like Senator Bob Menendez. Maybe that's somebody who my Democrat colleagues [1:38] may remember, took gold bars as bribes from the Egyptians. And there's an article here in the [1:46] Washington Free Beacon that talks about why you would hire Guy Lake-Divers Shirtler. And the comment is, [1:53] if you're in deep shit, that's who you call. Do you feel like you're in deep shit? On the advice of counsel, [2:00] I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [2:04] Clearly, what you think today is that somehow you're above reproach. Somehow you feel like you [2:16] don't need to be treated like a normal American. Can you do me a favor in the audience and stand up [2:27] if during the time of the COVID pandemic, you were called a racist for calling the virus a Wuhan virus [2:36] or the China virus. If you thought the six-foot rule was total crap, if you thought the vaccine [2:42] wasn't something that you should take, if you thought it was outrageous the way the mass policy [2:47] was rolled out, if you were fired from your job for not taking that vaccine, including members of the [2:54] military, if you thought closing schools was catastrophically stupid, and that you thought that [3:01] during these times, saying these things made you somehow a lesser human being. [3:11] Dr. French, can you just turn around and look at the people behind you? You're not willing to do that? [3:19] Is that a question? It's not a question to your lawyers. It's not a question. It's a request. [3:26] All you have to do is look up from your lawyers and look at the people who were absolutely shamed [3:33] for saying what we know now to be the truth. You can't even look at them? That's a question. [3:41] Are you able to look at them? You can sit down in the audience. There was a mom in Ohio during the [3:56] depth of the coronavirus pandemic, decided to go to her high school football game for her son. [4:06] They hadn't been out much. The kids had been learning at school, and then the school got shut down. [4:15] They hadn't really gotten much out of that education. As any parent knew, that remote learning was no [4:21] learning at all. But it was a Friday night. Her son wanted to go watch a buddy go play football. [4:29] So they went to the stadium. They sat alone, far from everybody else, just a mom, a dad, a few kids. [4:39] They didn't feel they needed to wear masks because it was stupid, because they were outside. [4:46] They all live together. They're not near anybody. [4:53] Dr. Fauci, do you know what happened to that mom and that family? That's a question. [4:57] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [5:06] They were dragged out of that stadium and arrested. [5:16] Those policies were put in place because you had moronic politicians that listened to the words of a megalomaniac [5:26] who was more interested in having met a Kardashian than the suffering of the American people. [5:33] And that is you. Your advice to communities like that, to idiotic politicians who enforced those rules, [5:47] arrested that mom for watching a football game with her own family outside. [5:54] When that story broke, I said to myself, I cannot stand Ili on the side and watch this happen. [6:05] It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run through the United States Senate. [6:16] Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that? [6:23] It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. [6:27] And if my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you, I hope the voters of the United States of America [6:33] watch the clips of every one of you doting on a guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than saving American people. [6:42] I will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those republic Democrats who did that [6:52] will see that clip over and over and over again. [6:56] Because defending there is no defense of what you did. [7:04] You may have had a 50 plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace. [7:15] So let me ask you an opportunity to answer one question. [7:20] Will you apologize? [7:22] Just apologize to the people who you harmed through your actions. [7:29] Will you say, do you have the dignity to just say you're sorry? [7:38] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [7:44] So you won't apologize to the military members who Joe Biden is summerly dismissed from the military for not taking the vaccine? [7:54] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [7:59] Will you apologize to the business owners that lost their business, shattered their lives, and they'll never recover? [8:06] On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [8:13] Will you apologize to the moms who had to force their infant children, two, three, four-year-olds, to put masks on, and what that did and how that traumatized those kids? [8:23] Under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [8:31] Will you apologize to the family members of the people who died because they took your advice and not only got the first vaccine, but the five, six other boosters that they did not need? [8:43] It's based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. [8:52] Will you apologize to that mom from Ohio for being arrested for watching a football game with her family? [9:09] So you didn't know who wrote the Fifth Amendment. [9:11] It's James Madison. [9:14] Lived in this town. [9:17] I can only wonder what he would think of somebody like you invoking his writings to shield culpability for the actions that you took. [9:29] It's no secret why you have to hire the biggest dirtbag attorney on the planet because of what you did. [9:39] I hope you're paying him well, and I hope that one way or the other, somewhere, sometime, you answer for your crimes.
