Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) lit into members of the GOP for their undying loyalty to convicted felon/presidential candidate Donald Trump during a House hearing on the origins of COVID-19.
The witness was former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Raskin told him, “The claim was essentially that you tried to cover up the possibility of there having been a laboratory leak, which, of course, is perfectly possible. And if this committee were doing its job, we could actually be working to advance the investigation of that. But they would rather assert that you tried to cover up this possibility.”
Fauci told Raskin that he had spent his entire life working to find the cause of diseases such as COVID.
“Well, Dr. Fauci, I want to join my colleague from Florida in apologizing to you that some of our colleagues in the United States House of Representatives seem to want to drag your name through the mud,” Raskin said. “They’re treating you, Dr. Fauci, like a convicted felon.”
And then the congressman put his Republican colleagues on notice regarding their willingness to embrace a man who was convicted on 34 felony counts just last week.
“Actually, you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon. They treat convicted felons with love and admiration. Some of them blindly worship convicted felons.”
Republicans are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet. They scream about “law and order” and then give their undying loyalty to a man who lies, cheats, rapes, and steals.
The only way to counter the lawlessness of the GOP is to vote every last one of them out in November.
