Go after Dr. Fauci? Why?
Did I read this right, that if Republicans take control of Congress after the midterm election that they're going to "go after" Dr. Anthony Fauci?
This prompts two immediate questions: What has he done to provoke this vengeful reaction? Why go after a man who has decided to retire from public service after serving presidents of both parties with distinction for many decades?
The threat comes from Sen. John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican who bears not a single similarity to the late president whose name he shares.
Fauci announced this week he is stepping down in December as President Biden's chief medical adviser. The man has had a full plate over many years. It became a heaping plate when the coronavirus pandemic broke in late 2019.
His advice rankled many on the right, including the man who brought him on board to help deal with the pandemic ... Donald J. Trump.
So now there might be another persecution in store, if the cards align and the GOP takes back Congress.
So says John Kennedy.
Good grief! The man saved many thousands of lives with his advice to two presidents of the United States, Donald Trump and then Joe Biden.
It looks for all the world to me as though Kennedy wants to make as much hay as Americans can stand.
Well, he can count me out.
