‘Lying megalomaniac’: Fauci torched after invoking Fifth Amendment 111 times during COVID hearing

News24 host Rita Panahi blasts Dr Anthony Fauci as a “shameless scoundrel” after he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during a Senate COVID hearing. “With the release of the Fauci diaries, we saw just how far that corruption went. The diary entries reveal a megalomaniac, a lying megalomaniac, fixated on his newfound fame as pandemic deaths soared,” Ms Panahi said. “This malignant megalomaniac was given a pre-emptive pardon by Joe Biden, or whoever was pulling Biden's strings, but despite that protection, he appeared at a Senate hearing this week and pled the Fifth 111 times. “Fauci's actions from the reckless gain of function research to his COVID mandates changed the course of history … his advice influenced health bureaucrats around the world, and now he pleads the Fifth. “That's not the actions of an honest operator; it is the work of a shameless scoundrel looking to dodge responsibility.”
