How can anyone admit that and say CROWDS are the problem?
We all know crowds make the virus more contagious and yet the rioters get a free pass.
I don't respect this retoric.
If you do, whatever.
Let me first just say that Jim Jordan is a total asshat and he acted like a petulant child during his 5 minutes.
As for Fauci, i didn't care for the way he handled his answer but he has said in the past that protests are bad (obviously).
Other than not wanting to start a whole media thing...i don't know why he didn't specifically say it was bad during the hearing. He was very clear in saying that any large gatherings, especially where masks aren't worn, are bad and make the likelyhood of a spread, that much worse.
That whole hearing was a bunch of political BULLSHIT, where all the Republicans wanted to do was talk about how great of a job Trump is doing during the pandemic and all the Demorcrats wanted to do was say he's doing terribly and is basically satan.
It's also not Fauci's job to decide who can do what and when they can do it.
Jordan was the biggest loser in that whole thing, easily, with the way he acted. There was an African-American woman (i don't recall her name) that came in a pretty close second though.
Let me just state for the record that i'm a registered Republican and i voted for Trump, not because i like him, because i didn't want another lifelong politician in the office and i especally didn't want Clinton there. I did vote for Obama the first time and wasn't able to vote the second time around because i was picking up my cat from getting spayed and couldn't make it home in time to drop her off and get to the local firestation where i vote (got stuck in traffic)...so, basically i don't vote party lines, i try and vote for who will benefit the average Joe the most. (or someone who isn't a particular asshat and currently in office; looking at you dubya...)
Absolutely nothing that i typed above removes the fact that Fauci is a very respected Doctor and he's a billion times better at giving factual evidence on things like virus' and pandemics than any dumbass politician that you can find in Washington or elsewhere.
I should have ended there and not typed about how Trump is and looks like a complete buffoon throughout this whole thing...because it's getting way to political and this isn't the place for that, so i'm not going to go on about that. Just pretend i ended after the previous paragraph...
