Fauci's 111 Fifth Amendments Spark Outcry | Wilmington News
Description
Dr. Fauci stunned lawmakers by invoking his Fifth Amendment 111 times during Senate testimony, shielding himself from questions about pandemic decisions and gain-of-function research — a move his attorneys advised. NFL star Aaron Rodgers seized the moment on The Pat McAfee Show, blasting Fauci for claiming to be “the science” while refusing to answer, questioning why he’d need legal protection if he had nothing to hide. Rodgers also took aim at media bias, noting how his own COVID struggles get more coverage than Fauci’s constitutional shield. The fallout reignites debates over accountability, public health leadership, and whether Fauci’s actions — even after receiving a pardon — undermine his credibility, with some lawmakers now considering contempt charges.
