This week’s congressional testimony by Anthony Fauci left many feeling affronted, as he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to respond to numerous questions.
Appearing on the Sean Hannity show, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, who engaged in a notable exchange with Fauci during the hearing, argued that Fauci should not have invoked the Fifth Amendment since he received immunity from the Biden administration.
This development provides a glimmer of hope for those seeking accountability from Fauci for his actions during the Covid pandemic.
Partial transcript as provided 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 expressed his anticipation of 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 action is necessary, and it is imperative for Republicans to stand united in this effort.
There should be no debate on this matter.
