Rep. Jim “Begged Witness Not to Squeal” Jordan
went off on Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious

of Friday’s House Select Committee on COVID
Oversight hearing.
The point of the hearing was to address the lack
of a national strategy to contain COVID-19.
Jordan, as usual, derailed the hearing’s focus
to score political points with Trump.
Fauci can’t say that any crowd is
better than another at this point,
not just because he’s supposed to
provide ideology-free advice as a
medical professional not to
mention Fauci can’t advocate
shutting down an exercise of the
First Amendment when Jordan asks
“Should we limit the protesting?”
The doctor can’t say anything which would
encourage activity in groups even with masks
because it’s just too risky right now.
But Jordan, being the circus clown he is,
continues to harangue Fauci in pursuit of usable
digital content to help Trump’s agenda. Content
later used like this idiotic context-sanitized
bullshit:

Rep. Jim “Begged Witness Not to Squeal” Jordan went off on Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during the first round of questioning of Friday’s House Select Committee on COVID Oversight hearing.

The point of the hearing was to address the lack of a national strategy to contain COVID-19.

Jordan, as usual, derailed the hearing’s focus to score political points with Trump.

shutting down an exercise of the

First Amendment when Jordan asks

“Should we limit the protesting?”

The doctor can’t say anything which would encourage activity in groups even with masks because it’s just too risky right now.

But Jordan, being the circus clown he is, continues to harangue Fauci in pursuit of usable digital content to help Trump’s agenda. Content later used like this idiotic context-sanitized bullshit:

Take a look around the internet; the right-wing horde seized on Jordan’s clown show with ALL CAPS and wrestling-action verbs like EXPOSES, HAMMERS, PRESSES, CRUSHES to describe Jordan’s antics. (Sadly, C-SPAN used “grills” which isn’t neutral.)

Fauci was too nice and too cautious on this point; he could have pointed to Trump’s misbegotten Tulsa campaign rally and Herman Cain’s subsequent death from COVID-19 but he didn’t.

Nor did Fauci refer to the study later submitted to the record which analyzed COVID-19 case counts after anti-racism protests.

The study found the protests did not result in increased COVID-19 cases.

Jordan denied Americans, particularly those in blue cities and minority communities, honest goods and services to which they are entitled. He’ll get away with it, though, because his circus act will fall under Speech or Debate.

Jim Jordan, killer clown, in name and in fact.

This is an open thread.
