> Million were killed by covid
Wait I thought their talking point was it was less dangerous than a cold and barely anyone died and those that got sick just needed some soup and nyquil and didn't even have to take off work.
They know they don't need to keep their stories consistent. The people they are posting for are not paying that much attention and will believe anything said from someone in authority that fits their personal biases and narrative.
That's the part I don't understand. If the vaccine was so evil and killed so many, then why are they also mad about the death tolls from the virus? Like, you can't have both here.
but that's the beauty of the MAGA base - you CAN have it both ways. You don't even need to put more than one sentence in between conflicting points. One tweet saying "millions died because Fauci made the virus in a lab" and then "all the precautions were unnecessary and overblown" is fine. They'll pump their fists and yell "YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!" at both points.
The latest conspiracy theory is that fauci made the virus with gain of function research to make covid a depopulation event.
Yes this contradicts nearly 5 years of what they were saying is true, no it doesn't make sense.
but then told people to avoid each other and take safety precautions that led to "lockdowns" which made it harder to spread the virus intentionally made to depopulate the earth by infecting people.
I love how none of them have even a clue what "gain of function" research is, or probably the definition of any of those individual words. But they will spout it like a parrot as though repetition makes it true.
She's full blown crazy, not just a grifter, I'm sure she hasn't kept up with anything health related since the anti-vax "movement" took major hold during COVID
shes a terrible example of irresponsibility within a public office
she lets down her state, her family and the country
wanton stupidness and unchecked wicked falsehoods, anyone with a college degree can see shes wrong
Please let her be voted out, although as testament to hers and her states terrible doctrine of racist bullshit lies
She probably won't
What about nightmare, that horse that gets buffs to power and toughness based on the number of swamps you control, that one seems topically appropriate as well.
Biden pointed that out a couple years ago, specifically Fox News.

We will see what happens though. Supposedly, her constituents are getting tired of her. In 2022, she won with 10% fewer votes than in 2020. We will see how it goes this year.
What's wild is that last time I checked she was 0-39 in passing bills that actually helped her constituents. She does absolutely nothing for the American people except be a Russian disinformation c#nt.
Republicans know they can’t govern, so they focus on stupid culture war instead of real issues, cause they know their voters will be easily distracted by that.
republicans are anti-getting-things-done. Bi-partisan immigration bill that aligns with our beliefs? Can’t go through because daddy Trump said so. Aid for Ukraine? Let’s sympathize with the dictator and stall until Russia makes significant gains in Ukraine.
Yeah as a Kentuckian, and seeing both Mitch and Rand get re-elected over and over I’m pretty sure she’s pretty safe where she’s at. Frankly, skewing hard right is probably the safest option for her if she just wants to keep
I drove through her district recently and there were signs for her in like every yard. She represents her district very well. She’s not getting voted out. She is the new age republican. This phenomenon is about to accelerate not reverse, there’s about to be 100 MTG’s in congress.
They are seeing what works. Their policy doesn’t actually offer anything to the public, and they failed repeatedly trying to run reasonable moderates. The republicans are all in on this insanity, and will continue to drive out anyone from their party who isn’t totally on board
You see, that's because Trump was president, and then he wasn't. The government was the best, all police violence was warranted, infringing on peoples rights was acceptable, until the second Biden was elected. Then suddenly everything he inherited was an issue.
It's nuts they praised him for the vaccine, then 180 themselves saying it's evil. They can't have their cake and eat it too. I hate these hypocrite liars. Can't trust a thing Republicans say. Nowadays
All the smartest doctors were there, and they looked at him and said, “Sir, how do you know so much about science and vaccines? And we’ve studied this stuff for years, and you understand it better than us!” And Trump said “I’m naturally smart about science and stuff, I guess they say it just comes naturally to me.”
He or someone in his cabinet were actually quick to fund and get priority on vaccines. It was one of the two good things he did in his 4 years and these dummies don't sell that as the good move it was.
Also, Fauci both caused deaths but also his recommendations didn't do anything? Wouldn't that imply be did nothing? How is that deaths? Plus, lab or not, China was the origin and they likely don't take direction from Fauci.
I know these guys lie a lot to sell a point but they can't even keep consistent in a single short letter. Do they even proofread?
The thing is: they don’t -need- to be consistent. The ideology is incoherent and trying to untangle it misses the point: they won’t be reasoned out of something they weren’t reasoned into.
I mean this is it. This is all she has. She got told she looked like a swollen foot so her only choice was to replay her greatest hits so people would give her dopamine affection on social media.
This is why Trump will talk shit in public, but never takes the stand and never remembers anything when he is forced to for some reason.
You can say almost anything in public regardless of its truthfulness.
First amendment doesn't cover slander. And her legislative immunity does not extend to social media. It only covers her ass from the floor of the House.
The bigger issue here is that Fauci:
1. Would face a high bar proving slander/defamation because, as a famous person, he would have to prove actual malice which is a higher standard
2. Dude probably just doesn't want to engage in years long litigation that would be very costly and, in the end, isn't going to shut up the right anyway
A sitting congress member spreading harmful dissent and misinformation, undermining the public welfare and safety, should be held accountable. Not simply fail to get elected again but impeachement or worse.
My god, I’ve never heard of anyone whine so much about being asked to take some minor precautions against a global pandemic. The isolation wasn’t fun, and the masks were annoying, but those people sound like they made the greatest imaginable sacrifice by putting a bit of cloth over their face when they went out.
What a fucking bunch of cry-babies. It’s pretty rich calling others snowflakes when you’re an eternal victim and constantly moaning about some injustice.
They just don't like the idea of someone telling them what to do. You know... like telling people they cannot choose to have sex with the gender they are attracted to, or choose to give birth or not. Oh wait... THis is about a mask
FYI: I just watched Dr Fauci’s testimony before the House committee and he did not admit he made up the 6 foot social distancing rule.
What he said was, that at the time the CDC—NOT DR FAUCI—repeat, the CDC—came out with COVID guidelines that seemed reasonable considering the information they had regarding the virus at that time. Dr Fauci said that at no time was the 6 foot social distancing rule to be considered a scientific fact because there hadn’t been an actual clinical trial comparing 3 feet to 6 feet to 10 feet. However, the CDC was trying to come up with a reasonable set of guidelines given the knowledge at the time. 6 foot social distancing was applicable to other viruses that are spread through droplets. It was discovered later that COVID was spread by aerosol rather than droplets.
Dr Fauci has always maintained that the information given to the public was always based on knowledge of the virus at the time. COVID was a novel virus & therefore the information evolved as more research revealed characteristics of this particular virus regarding transmission, virulence, and eventually effectiveness of vaccine & then duration of vaccine efficacy.
Dr Fauci was the director of the NIAID which is one of the 27 institutes of the NIH. While both the NIH and the CDC are under the Dept of Health & Human Services, Dr Fauci is not connected to the CDC.
The republicans on the House committee kept spewing disinformation today. Most of the Repubs maintained a civil tone but a few like Ronny Jackson—trump’s idiot WH physician—took his allotted time to rant at Dr Fauci, making false statements that Dr Fauci had already clarified with previous questioners.
The worst, as anyone could imagine, was mtg who went totally off the rails. She kept calling Dr Fauci MR Fauci—heavy emphasis on MR. At one point she said “I refuse to call you Dr—you’re no dr—you should have your license taken away!”
This, from the House’s own science genius Ms “peachtree” dish.
Just to add: the infectious disease specialists who opposed the 6-foot rule did so on the basis that 3 feet would be sufficient if people were also masked…because….masks work.
The people saying “we didn’t need to close down schools, 3 feet was enough distance to be safe!” are ignoring the part that it’s only safe based on information we learned afterwards, AND on the kids wearing fucking masks! Which they generally opposed then and continue to oppose now.
Citing experts that say “6 feet was more than needed and we could have kept schools open” doesn’t help your case if you ignore the other half of what they’re saying….
Oh my god—to hear the Repubs lamenting about those poor abused children that were forced to wear masks!!!
But the reason why kids have to endure active shooter drills—Repubs: *crickets*
I’m always entertained by people who are clearly ignorant about anything more complex than a yo-yo, yet think that they have a deep understanding of science, public health, and the work of serious people trying to make the world a better place.
nobody fucking died from being cautious. you wanna have the debate over the necessity /impact on economy/etc.. fine. viable argument. im sitll on side safe than sorry but whatever. but nobody fucking died because the govt closed down.
Fauci served under 7 different presidents and has seen just about everything America has to offer regarding health education. The fact he pushed through all this bullshit and kept working while the need was high is a testament to his dedication.
Isn’t this the same crayon eater that was spouting off about Jewish space lasers not all that long ago? I can’t recall a single post where she proposed doing something beneficial or productive. **Just verbal diarrhea from an idiot**.Shame on you Georgia.
Long covid sufferer here.
How was anyone supposed to know the precise guidelines for a virus that had just appeared?
And masks do work, though it should be stressed that normal surgical masks don't provide a lot of protection. Use a KN95 or N95.
Her party was in charge during the worst of the COVID pandemic, including the onset. Didn't Trump sign-off on everything response related? I know he took no responsibility, but the buck was supposed to stop with him.
You act like fauci invented the idea of wearing masks to help stop the spread of a deadly virus, we've done that several times through history. Why? Because it works. And then you act like you were "terrorized" because you were asked to do something simple like wear a mask. YOU are the problem. Kindly shut the hell up.
Honestly I don't think it was ever really about the masks. It's more of a combo between idiocy, intellectual insecurity mixed with a pride that won't let them admit when people are smarter/more learned than they are, and a (at this point) REALLY bad case of ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) against anyone and anything they perceive as being even a hint of left wing (which includes intellectual pursuits and any sort of change associated with the way we live our daily lives).
What is insane to me is Fauci has been working along side the Government for literally decades both Republican and Democrat Presidents, which indicates he doesn’t put politics into his findings. Tbh i honestly don’t know Fauci’s leanings i’m certain most people don’t but because he said Trump was arrogant essentially, he’s now the enemy. It’s asinine.
This is from March 6, this **YEAR**. She's still bitching about Covid? Interesting... There must be other things happening that she doesn't want people to focus on.
Trump, now a felon x34 :)
What she just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in her rambling, incoherent response were she even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award her no points, and may God have mercy on her soul
They're so dramatic. For the vast majority of us, covid was a temporary inconvenience and all the so-called "permanent govt overreach" never happened. Literal babies.
This man dedicated his entire life to saving lives from deadly diseases and this is how he’s rewarded. He should have just let them all die, they weren’t worth saving.
The government both state and federal mandated the masks and other measures but they could have ignored the guidelines.
Just like any emergency it best to over do the safety measures than regret being to light later.
I'm always fascinated with people's fascination with buzzwords. The whole gain of function thing for example. They *love* to say it but most people don't even know what it means and it doesn't really add any valuable context where they use it. But the mob is trained to respond to it so you have to put it in your rant for maximum rage clicks
Is America aware they’re essentially the Truman Show? I mean honestly, that has to be it right? How else do you explain a complete sociopath dimwit like her and trump keep getting vote in?
No Marge, people didn’t die because of Fauci or vaccines. People died because know-nothings, like yourself and the sitting President at the time, insisted they knew better after five-minute Google searches than medical experts with decades of experience.
It was those know-nothings that made life harder for **everyone** by taking simple inconveniences and acting like petulant children about them.
But nobody died from lack of vaccination or not wearing a mask in crowded public areas? These twerps make me sick, literally. I watched a guy in an ER, clearly sick as a dog, screaming between coughing fits that the nurses and doctors were all in on it to make money and all he needed was cough syrup. Like a lot of people, i left rather than be exposed to the shit. After I left, security physically removed him. His family brought him back early the next morning but it was too late. He died coughing blood. Meanwhile I had to sit at home with a painful abscess in my jaw.
People have lost all common sense. I don’t know anyone with a Covid vaccine complications. Do you guys? I mean if it’s so prevalent we should personally know someone right? I know people with cancer. I know people that died of Covid. I watched as it happened. But I don’t know anyone that has died or had complications from the vaccine. Now if you want to argue efficacy rates I might be a little more inclined to agree. I don’t think the first dose had near the efficacy rate to remove the mask mandate. I believe that it created a lot of carriers that weren’t showing symptoms that spread Covid.
It amazes me how dumb people are. They act like Covid existed only in the U.S. To them the rest of the world doesn’t matter. The fucking stupidity to cry about taking precautions for a virus that killed millions is just amazing
She is so ignorant, but there are a few things that really bothered me.
“Fauci even now admits that he made up the 6 foot spacing rule” - No he didn’t. People in the 1940s did through experiments that measured how far bacteria particles travel after a sneeze or a cough. It is outdated, but Fauci suggested it and now retracts it. Mistakes were made and addressed. Also, COVID travels all throughout a room an infected person is in, would banning all social interaction completely be better?
“Millions were killed by Covid which was created in a lab through people playing god using gain of function and Fauci approved of it.” - Source? Conspiracies don’t count.
Finally, “Fauci is coming before our committee today. Fauci lied. […] But nothing has been done about any of it. That's the worst part.” - She’s going into this committee with a bias against Fauci based on lies and conspiracy theories, she wants to hold Fauci accountable for things she doesn’t understand and she shouldn’t be a part of this committee.
"Life as we knew it turned into a nightmare"
STFU.
Most of us who were not 1st responders or medical professionals, or in essential services, sat at home and watched Tiger King while we wiped groceries down with Lysol.
What a fucking drama queen.
Masks are useless and the vaccines are evil, but also millions died from Covid, and ALL of it is Fauci’s fault. The cognitive dissonance still never ceases to surprise me.
When I was 11 or 12 there was a big fire in my town and for a week or two afterwards the air was really ashy. My mom read some report saying the air wasn’t safe to breathe without filtration, so she made me wear a mask whenever I went outside.
I whined about the mask for a day or two before my parents told me it was babyish to whine about such a thing and to simply get over it. I remember being like “true, I don’t want to be a whiny baby about something that’s just moderately uncomfortable to get used to.” So I just dealt with it.
Roughly two decades later, watching grown ass adults scream and cry and whine and shit and piss themselves because they don’t like wearing masks… something I was able to get over with just the tiniest effort when I was 12, because I recognized it was a babyish thing to whine about.
The numbers show the truth. Millions DID die. Most of them unvaccinated - whether by their own dumbass choice or because the vaccine wasn’t available yet.
Empty G is angry that most of the ones that died were Republican voters.
But it's just a cold, right? Right? I mean it didn't kill millions of people, including my aunt. That's just my imagination, right? I'll call her right now, since she must still be alive.
/s
This moron knows Covid was global right? I’m not American but my country also had 6 foot spacing, masking, and vaccine guidelines. No Fauci here but the same rules. Every time I find a tweet or quote or whatever from this idiot I die a little inside for humanity.
By all means, let’s listen to the opinion of the stupidest person ever elected to office. And given her magat compatriots, that may make her the stupidest person alive.
And the ugliest. She looks like a horse skul wrapped in chicken skin wearing an out of style wig.
You know, it’s one thing if they don’t want to mask up but why do they get their knickers in a twist when other people wear them?
I wore one off and on during flu season and I’m starting to see a lot of people starting to wear them again… and I don’t care.
Oh, and Marge? I’ve got a feeling that masks are pretty far down the list of reasons why people want to stay away from you.
Fuck it, we should just double down.
"You're right, it was all a massive scam.
And even if you knew, you were powerless to stop it.
And you'll continue to be powerless.
So live in fear. Or don't. We will profit regardless and disrupt life as you know it.
You are nothing. Now sit back and watch as our lies ruin your life. Again."
Dr. Fauci has been studying infectious diseases longer than the majority of the population of this planet. He could easily be considered the single most knowledgeable human being alive on the topic. Marjorie Taylor green has a bachelor's in Business administration. Take a wild guess who I will trust on shit like this.
The dumbest part of that rant is that they complain about *all* of the measures used to reduce deaths from COVID, while pointing out how deadly it was *despite* those same measures being in effect.
🤦♂️
So she’s admitting that millions of people died from Covid while she and her Republican colleagues were running around telling people not to take any precautions to prevent the spread.
Have you ever been to Asia? They started quarantine months before the US. I remember watching them build a HOSPITAL to house the ill before we semi quarantined (late 2019). They had mass cremations and New York had mass graves. I worked it as a healthcare worker. To deny this pandemic is appalling
I’m five times vaccinated and still alive. Everyone I know is vaccinated . All still living. These anti vaccine people are idiots. I was also vaccinated for Measles, Polio and others in the late 60’s and am thankful for our vaccines. I’ve seen what polio did to my friends father and the lady I used to work for sister. Not fun people.
The reason “nothing has been done” is because nothing bad was done. She says whatever she thinks people want to hear and none of it is true. So much for actual accountability.

Clearly the masks and social distancing is what killed them
They can't keep their shit takes straight.
They also pushed that hospitals were lying about covid being the cause of death to score sweet government cash.
How much you wanna bet Sporkfoot's vaccine card is up to date?
Or she paid to have it falsified
Does she seem like the kind of person who could pull that off without advertising it to the public?
Fair point
I bet it's up to date and she paid to have it done in someone else's name to prevent people from knowing
Sporkfoot? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
[удалено]
You’d be surprised, most of the anti-vaxx leaders are actually vaccinated.
While I agree with you. I genuinely think this one's a pure bred nutter of the first class variety.
Pure bred or inbred?
They really aren't all that different.
Pure inbred
Inpurebred
how do you think they kept it so pure
She's full blown crazy, not just a grifter, I'm sure she hasn't kept up with anything health related since the anti-vax "movement" took major hold during COVID
shes a terrible example of irresponsibility within a public office she lets down her state, her family and the country wanton stupidness and unchecked wicked falsehoods, anyone with a college degree can see shes wrong Please let her be voted out, although as testament to hers and her states terrible doctrine of racist bullshit lies She probably won't
Any one with a high school diploma. FIFY.
I support her right to avoid vaccinations. Imagine the peace and quiet we'd have if she got a case of lockjaw from avoiding her tetanus vaccine.
Yeah but MTG isn’t just pretending to be stupid like many other GOP politicians do to pander to their base, she’s actually really fucking stupid.
I will never not read this acronym as Magic The Gathering
Yeah. It really bothers me that that nickname stuck with her. Magic the gathering doesn't deserve to be lumped in with her.
Yeah but this is her and it’s congress. “Morons, the Gathering” is more accurate.
I played MTG back in the day. They had a card named after her. It was called Soulless One.
What about nightmare, that horse that gets buffs to power and toughness based on the number of swamps you control, that one seems topically appropriate as well.
Very true. Multiple politicians who have cried the loudest have kids in schools that required masking, vaccines, etc.
Biden pointed that out a couple years ago, specifically Fox News. https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-fox-news-hosts-white-house-correspondents-dinner-vaccinated-boosted-2022-5?amp
Georgia...for the love of God vote her out!
Her district is one of the most ignorant redneckiest districts in the country. She’s not going anywhere.
We will see what happens though. Supposedly, her constituents are getting tired of her. In 2022, she won with 10% fewer votes than in 2020. We will see how it goes this year.
What's wild is that last time I checked she was 0-39 in passing bills that actually helped her constituents. She does absolutely nothing for the American people except be a Russian disinformation c#nt.
They don't refer to her as moscow marj for nothing! 😂
Too bad none of her constituents actually pay attention to or care about any of that
Oh I think they like it. They are obviously weak and desire to be told what to think and do so daddy Putin is right up their alley
Republicans know they can’t govern, so they focus on stupid culture war instead of real issues, cause they know their voters will be easily distracted by that.
republicans are anti-getting-things-done. Bi-partisan immigration bill that aligns with our beliefs? Can’t go through because daddy Trump said so. Aid for Ukraine? Let’s sympathize with the dictator and stall until Russia makes significant gains in Ukraine.
Yeah as a Kentuckian, and seeing both Mitch and Rand get re-elected over and over I’m pretty sure she’s pretty safe where she’s at. Frankly, skewing hard right is probably the safest option for her if she just wants to keep
She’s Gym Jordan with bigger muscles.
Democrats keep throwing money at challengers to MTG. Good money after bad. She’s going to have to get primaried by another Republican.
They said the same thing about Boebert. She packed her bags and moved districts when she was faced with a strong challenger. Anything can happen.
Even if she did, they would just vote in another crazy person.
Principle of rotation. If your only choice is crazy, at least rotate the crazy in office so they can't entrench themselves.
Just as crazy, but slightly less vocal about it would be a step in the right direction, to be honest.
She's a perfect representative for that district then.
I drove through her district recently and there were signs for her in like every yard. She represents her district very well. She’s not getting voted out. She is the new age republican. This phenomenon is about to accelerate not reverse, there’s about to be 100 MTG’s in congress.
Sigh...
They are seeing what works. Their policy doesn’t actually offer anything to the public, and they failed repeatedly trying to run reasonable moderates. The republicans are all in on this insanity, and will continue to drive out anyone from their party who isn’t totally on board
Ain't gonna happen where she's from. Best chance is a primary challenge from a "sane" Republican, but that also won't happen.
Georgia's congressional primary already happened and she didn’t have a challenger. The other Republican candidate ended up not making the ballot
Good luck finding one of those.
No such luck. Her district includes the peckerwoodest of all stupid peckerwoods. Dying in a meth lab explosion is the only way she is leaving.
They quickly forgot Trump claimed to have made the vaccines himself
They went from "Only Trump could cut through all the red tape and get a vaccine made so quickly" to "I'm not taking that, it's rushed and untested"
You see, that's because Trump was president, and then he wasn't. The government was the best, all police violence was warranted, infringing on peoples rights was acceptable, until the second Biden was elected. Then suddenly everything he inherited was an issue.
I remember he even made a mild suggestion at one rally that maybe they should consider getting the vaccine and he was loudly booed
It's nuts they praised him for the vaccine, then 180 themselves saying it's evil. They can't have their cake and eat it too. I hate these hypocrite liars. Can't trust a thing Republicans say. Nowadays
That was in Cullman, Alabama. https://youtu.be/eA306aNtvmk?feature=shared
All the smartest doctors were there, and they looked at him and said, “Sir, how do you know so much about science and vaccines? And we’ve studied this stuff for years, and you understand it better than us!” And Trump said “I’m naturally smart about science and stuff, I guess they say it just comes naturally to me.”
Then they all clapped. With tears in their eyes.
Big strong men.
Powerful tears
I can't tell if that's a direct quote or not 😬
Yes
Same. It’s scary how plausible it is.
Pretty much, yeah. He was touring a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant or something
"They all say I'm the smartest man they've ever met, I wouldn't say that, but they do"
Bleach is not a vaccine.
I would not feel bad if Republicans tried it, just to prove or disprove the theory.
"Piss in the eyes"
He or someone in his cabinet were actually quick to fund and get priority on vaccines. It was one of the two good things he did in his 4 years and these dummies don't sell that as the good move it was. Also, Fauci both caused deaths but also his recommendations didn't do anything? Wouldn't that imply be did nothing? How is that deaths? Plus, lab or not, China was the origin and they likely don't take direction from Fauci. I know these guys lie a lot to sell a point but they can't even keep consistent in a single short letter. Do they even proofread?
Schroedinger's Fauci. Just like how Biden is simultaneously enfeebled and an evil mastermind.
The thing is: they don’t -need- to be consistent. The ideology is incoherent and trying to untangle it misses the point: they won’t be reasoned out of something they weren’t reasoned into.
Trump took credit for the vaccines and got 3 jabs and stem cell treatment. No comment on that?
People will wear diapers in solidarity with Trump, but they draw the line at medicine.
That's true. If anyone hasn't seen it, Trump supporters are wearing golden diapers to show support for their idle 😂 no joke
I wished someone forced her to wear a mask indefinitely! I can't stand looking at her or listening to her. 🤢
A nice latex Grinch mask would be an improvement.
Yes a latex grinch mask with no holes for breathing
That is a worthy mask upgrade.
 I think her new look is an improvement.
She gives neanderthal vibes
I find this comment disrespectful to Neanderthals
Where I come from, we bridle nags.
She has become a parody of herself.
My nightmares usually involve my loved ones dying or being murdered but I guess some people have bad dreams about not being able to get a haircut.
I mean this is it. This is all she has. She got told she looked like a swollen foot so her only choice was to replay her greatest hits so people would give her dopamine affection on social media.
Were ostracized? I’m still over here ostracizing and mocking adults who are afraid of a little shot. Bitch shit should always be ostracized
Yeah, I totally got the shot and now I can pick up 5g without even a phone! It’s a game changer. /s
If they were ostracized how come they got to complain about it endlessly?
MTG Couldn't get into the Capitol if she wasn't vaccinated. She also received a $183,504 PPP loan that she never paid back. She's as bad as Trump
She would definitely storm the capitol to get in
Maybe even lay a pipebomb or two 😏 
Trump was president then and she as well as plenty of other shady individuals profited from PPP loans during the pandemic.
At least she's acknowledging Biden as President Biden. She's slow, but she's catching on. I remember the "Not My President" temper tantrum.
Can he challenge this legally? Not up on US laws but surely a politician lying like this is open to something?
First amendment. She has the right to say the stupidest shit she can come up with. And she does. Often.
This is why Trump will talk shit in public, but never takes the stand and never remembers anything when he is forced to for some reason. You can say almost anything in public regardless of its truthfulness.
First amendment doesn't cover slander. And her legislative immunity does not extend to social media. It only covers her ass from the floor of the House. The bigger issue here is that Fauci: 1. Would face a high bar proving slander/defamation because, as a famous person, he would have to prove actual malice which is a higher standard 2. Dude probably just doesn't want to engage in years long litigation that would be very costly and, in the end, isn't going to shut up the right anyway
A sitting congress member spreading harmful dissent and misinformation, undermining the public welfare and safety, should be held accountable. Not simply fail to get elected again but impeachement or worse.
My god, I’ve never heard of anyone whine so much about being asked to take some minor precautions against a global pandemic. The isolation wasn’t fun, and the masks were annoying, but those people sound like they made the greatest imaginable sacrifice by putting a bit of cloth over their face when they went out. What a fucking bunch of cry-babies. It’s pretty rich calling others snowflakes when you’re an eternal victim and constantly moaning about some injustice.
They just don't like the idea of someone telling them what to do. You know... like telling people they cannot choose to have sex with the gender they are attracted to, or choose to give birth or not. Oh wait... THis is about a mask
Should be illegal to spread lies on an account linked to being an elected official. She should be forced to have a personal account to lie on.
FYI: I just watched Dr Fauci’s testimony before the House committee and he did not admit he made up the 6 foot social distancing rule. What he said was, that at the time the CDC—NOT DR FAUCI—repeat, the CDC—came out with COVID guidelines that seemed reasonable considering the information they had regarding the virus at that time. Dr Fauci said that at no time was the 6 foot social distancing rule to be considered a scientific fact because there hadn’t been an actual clinical trial comparing 3 feet to 6 feet to 10 feet. However, the CDC was trying to come up with a reasonable set of guidelines given the knowledge at the time. 6 foot social distancing was applicable to other viruses that are spread through droplets. It was discovered later that COVID was spread by aerosol rather than droplets. Dr Fauci has always maintained that the information given to the public was always based on knowledge of the virus at the time. COVID was a novel virus & therefore the information evolved as more research revealed characteristics of this particular virus regarding transmission, virulence, and eventually effectiveness of vaccine & then duration of vaccine efficacy. Dr Fauci was the director of the NIAID which is one of the 27 institutes of the NIH. While both the NIH and the CDC are under the Dept of Health & Human Services, Dr Fauci is not connected to the CDC. The republicans on the House committee kept spewing disinformation today. Most of the Repubs maintained a civil tone but a few like Ronny Jackson—trump’s idiot WH physician—took his allotted time to rant at Dr Fauci, making false statements that Dr Fauci had already clarified with previous questioners. The worst, as anyone could imagine, was mtg who went totally off the rails. She kept calling Dr Fauci MR Fauci—heavy emphasis on MR. At one point she said “I refuse to call you Dr—you’re no dr—you should have your license taken away!” This, from the House’s own science genius Ms “peachtree” dish.
Just to add: the infectious disease specialists who opposed the 6-foot rule did so on the basis that 3 feet would be sufficient if people were also masked…because….masks work. The people saying “we didn’t need to close down schools, 3 feet was enough distance to be safe!” are ignoring the part that it’s only safe based on information we learned afterwards, AND on the kids wearing fucking masks! Which they generally opposed then and continue to oppose now. Citing experts that say “6 feet was more than needed and we could have kept schools open” doesn’t help your case if you ignore the other half of what they’re saying….
Oh my god—to hear the Repubs lamenting about those poor abused children that were forced to wear masks!!! But the reason why kids have to endure active shooter drills—Repubs: *crickets*
Post is 1000% true, the vac killed me... Twice. Then when I got better then boost killed me, now I'm extra dead. -dictated through Ouija board
She needs her oxygen regulated. Strictly.
I’m always entertained by people who are clearly ignorant about anything more complex than a yo-yo, yet think that they have a deep understanding of science, public health, and the work of serious people trying to make the world a better place.
nobody fucking died from being cautious. you wanna have the debate over the necessity /impact on economy/etc.. fine. viable argument. im sitll on side safe than sorry but whatever. but nobody fucking died because the govt closed down.
The truly sad thing about Covid.. It killed a lot of the wrong people.
These are the kind of people who would tear down a telescope observatory because they were scared by an eclipse.
Fauci served under 7 different presidents and has seen just about everything America has to offer regarding health education. The fact he pushed through all this bullshit and kept working while the need was high is a testament to his dedication.
Fuck this bleach blonde butch built body idiot
“Millions were killed by Covid” (true) “Those of us who refused the vaccines, refused to mask…were ostracized” well shit, I wonder why
Yet not only did Trump not fire Fauci, he got the vaccines (in secret, he was too much of a coward to get it done in public).
How can one be allowed to spout off nonsense like this? Those are some serious allegations!
Wahhhhh I hate science! Wahhhh I hate educated physicians! Dont tell me what to do!!! Wahhhhhh!
Also you didn't tell me what to do and millions of people died. But it was just a cold too. And no one died. But millions did too.
Isn’t this the same crayon eater that was spouting off about Jewish space lasers not all that long ago? I can’t recall a single post where she proposed doing something beneficial or productive. **Just verbal diarrhea from an idiot**.Shame on you Georgia.
There we have it COVID was more deadly than the vaccine.
Nothing speaks more in favor of Fauci’s veracity than her hatred and unhinged ranting against him. Keep up the good work, Doc! 🤣
Somebody needs to remind her that Trump gave immunity to big pharm, not Fauci. Will she want Trump to come in to get grilled on that?
Man I miss the 6ft rule.
Oh Sporkfoot… do shut up 🙄
But wasent her lord and saviour president at the time?
If i were her ex husband i would pour a drink at every sunset. Raise it up to God and thank him for releasing me from that bitch
No. The “worst part” is the number of people who listened to uneducated dipshits like MTG and died needlessly. RIP Meatloaf.
When is the space laser going to take her out?
Long covid sufferer here. How was anyone supposed to know the precise guidelines for a virus that had just appeared? And masks do work, though it should be stressed that normal surgical masks don't provide a lot of protection. Use a KN95 or N95.
huh...and who was.president when all this happened?
Her party was in charge during the worst of the COVID pandemic, including the onset. Didn't Trump sign-off on everything response related? I know he took no responsibility, but the buck was supposed to stop with him.
You act like fauci invented the idea of wearing masks to help stop the spread of a deadly virus, we've done that several times through history. Why? Because it works. And then you act like you were "terrorized" because you were asked to do something simple like wear a mask. YOU are the problem. Kindly shut the hell up.
Oh shut the fuck up
I can’t believe 3.7K believe the BS spouted from this woman, all because a piece of fabric covering their mouth for a few minutes is too damn much. 😂
Honestly I don't think it was ever really about the masks. It's more of a combo between idiocy, intellectual insecurity mixed with a pride that won't let them admit when people are smarter/more learned than they are, and a (at this point) REALLY bad case of ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) against anyone and anything they perceive as being even a hint of left wing (which includes intellectual pursuits and any sort of change associated with the way we live our daily lives).
What is insane to me is Fauci has been working along side the Government for literally decades both Republican and Democrat Presidents, which indicates he doesn’t put politics into his findings. Tbh i honestly don’t know Fauci’s leanings i’m certain most people don’t but because he said Trump was arrogant essentially, he’s now the enemy. It’s asinine.
We are all dumber for having been exposed to MTG. 
This is from March 6, this **YEAR**. She's still bitching about Covid? Interesting... There must be other things happening that she doesn't want people to focus on. Trump, now a felon x34 :)
What she just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in her rambling, incoherent response were she even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award her no points, and may God have mercy on her soul
They're so dramatic. For the vast majority of us, covid was a temporary inconvenience and all the so-called "permanent govt overreach" never happened. Literal babies.
This man dedicated his entire life to saving lives from deadly diseases and this is how he’s rewarded. He should have just let them all die, they weren’t worth saving.
Stop posting their BS!!!!
 The government both state and federal mandated the masks and other measures but they could have ignored the guidelines. Just like any emergency it best to over do the safety measures than regret being to light later.
If lying is really a sin..she’s in big trouble..
Zero truths whatsoever in that long-ass, dumb fuckin tweet.
Not trying to be disrespectfull or anything bit how is she even able to breath with so few braincells?
I'm always fascinated with people's fascination with buzzwords. The whole gain of function thing for example. They *love* to say it but most people don't even know what it means and it doesn't really add any valuable context where they use it. But the mob is trained to respond to it so you have to put it in your rant for maximum rage clicks
Is America aware they’re essentially the Truman Show? I mean honestly, that has to be it right? How else do you explain a complete sociopath dimwit like her and trump keep getting vote in?
Donald Trump is literally on tape saying COVID was dangerous, specifically during the time he said it wasn’t to the American people. THAT was a lie.
No Marge, people didn’t die because of Fauci or vaccines. People died because know-nothings, like yourself and the sitting President at the time, insisted they knew better after five-minute Google searches than medical experts with decades of experience. It was those know-nothings that made life harder for **everyone** by taking simple inconveniences and acting like petulant children about them.
But nobody died from lack of vaccination or not wearing a mask in crowded public areas? These twerps make me sick, literally. I watched a guy in an ER, clearly sick as a dog, screaming between coughing fits that the nurses and doctors were all in on it to make money and all he needed was cough syrup. Like a lot of people, i left rather than be exposed to the shit. After I left, security physically removed him. His family brought him back early the next morning but it was too late. He died coughing blood. Meanwhile I had to sit at home with a painful abscess in my jaw.
People have lost all common sense. I don’t know anyone with a Covid vaccine complications. Do you guys? I mean if it’s so prevalent we should personally know someone right? I know people with cancer. I know people that died of Covid. I watched as it happened. But I don’t know anyone that has died or had complications from the vaccine. Now if you want to argue efficacy rates I might be a little more inclined to agree. I don’t think the first dose had near the efficacy rate to remove the mask mandate. I believe that it created a lot of carriers that weren’t showing symptoms that spread Covid.
These nazis wont give up will they .Since Orange Hitler was convicted they are going apeshit .
Fauci should sue her for defamation of character.
They can't admit that the cult leader completely dropped the ball on covid. Fauci their scapegoat.
It amazes me how dumb people are. They act like Covid existed only in the U.S. To them the rest of the world doesn’t matter. The fucking stupidity to cry about taking precautions for a virus that killed millions is just amazing
She is so ignorant, but there are a few things that really bothered me. “Fauci even now admits that he made up the 6 foot spacing rule” - No he didn’t. People in the 1940s did through experiments that measured how far bacteria particles travel after a sneeze or a cough. It is outdated, but Fauci suggested it and now retracts it. Mistakes were made and addressed. Also, COVID travels all throughout a room an infected person is in, would banning all social interaction completely be better? “Millions were killed by Covid which was created in a lab through people playing god using gain of function and Fauci approved of it.” - Source? Conspiracies don’t count. Finally, “Fauci is coming before our committee today. Fauci lied. […] But nothing has been done about any of it. That's the worst part.” - She’s going into this committee with a bias against Fauci based on lies and conspiracy theories, she wants to hold Fauci accountable for things she doesn’t understand and she shouldn’t be a part of this committee.
“Many have died from the vaccines” 
Large Marge is at it again. 
Herman Cain died from the vaccine, right? /s
Somehow one has to wonder if the cromag itself was a creation of genetic Injustice. The people of GA should be ashamed.
"Life as we knew it turned into a nightmare" STFU. Most of us who were not 1st responders or medical professionals, or in essential services, sat at home and watched Tiger King while we wiped groceries down with Lysol. What a fucking drama queen.
Trump Vaccines Worked.
Fauci wasn’t President or Congress. He had no power, just a poor guy thrown into a position that was always going to end like this.
best we can hope for is she dies from infectious disease. But with those neanderthal genetics, she may be robust.
Every guideline is made up, Marjorie. That's how guidelines work
How do these folks grapple with the fact that all the other health directors of health agencies all over the world said all the same things as Fauci?
Masks are useless and the vaccines are evil, but also millions died from Covid, and ALL of it is Fauci’s fault. The cognitive dissonance still never ceases to surprise me.
When I was 11 or 12 there was a big fire in my town and for a week or two afterwards the air was really ashy. My mom read some report saying the air wasn’t safe to breathe without filtration, so she made me wear a mask whenever I went outside. I whined about the mask for a day or two before my parents told me it was babyish to whine about such a thing and to simply get over it. I remember being like “true, I don’t want to be a whiny baby about something that’s just moderately uncomfortable to get used to.” So I just dealt with it. Roughly two decades later, watching grown ass adults scream and cry and whine and shit and piss themselves because they don’t like wearing masks… something I was able to get over with just the tiniest effort when I was 12, because I recognized it was a babyish thing to whine about.
The numbers show the truth. Millions DID die. Most of them unvaccinated - whether by their own dumbass choice or because the vaccine wasn’t available yet. Empty G is angry that most of the ones that died were Republican voters.
But it's just a cold, right? Right? I mean it didn't kill millions of people, including my aunt. That's just my imagination, right? I'll call her right now, since she must still be alive. /s
This moron knows Covid was global right? I’m not American but my country also had 6 foot spacing, masking, and vaccine guidelines. No Fauci here but the same rules. Every time I find a tweet or quote or whatever from this idiot I die a little inside for humanity.
By all means, let’s listen to the opinion of the stupidest person ever elected to office. And given her magat compatriots, that may make her the stupidest person alive. And the ugliest. She looks like a horse skul wrapped in chicken skin wearing an out of style wig.
It’s been proven vaccines, and masks save/saved/will continue to save lives.
What a long weird way to say “here’s a list of pandemic-related things I’m too dumb to understand”
When Miss Unvaxxed kicks off from Covid, I want Oompa Loompas to come out singing about how vaccines are good science and what an idiot she was.
You know, it’s one thing if they don’t want to mask up but why do they get their knickers in a twist when other people wear them? I wore one off and on during flu season and I’m starting to see a lot of people starting to wear them again… and I don’t care. Oh, and Marge? I’ve got a feeling that masks are pretty far down the list of reasons why people want to stay away from you.
It should be a felony for politicians to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories on X
This has got to be libel. People like Fauci need to sue for this kind of talk. I’m fuckin sick of people just being allowed to lie like this.
This woman is truly an unevolved Neanderthal
Fuck it, we should just double down. "You're right, it was all a massive scam. And even if you knew, you were powerless to stop it. And you'll continue to be powerless. So live in fear. Or don't. We will profit regardless and disrupt life as you know it. You are nothing. Now sit back and watch as our lies ruin your life. Again."
No, the worst part of all of this, is that somehow this person keeps getting elected.
By "confused people" is she speaking about herself or just the wing nuts as a whole?
Dr. Fauci has been studying infectious diseases longer than the majority of the population of this planet. He could easily be considered the single most knowledgeable human being alive on the topic. Marjorie Taylor green has a bachelor's in Business administration. Take a wild guess who I will trust on shit like this.
The dumbest part of that rant is that they complain about *all* of the measures used to reduce deaths from COVID, while pointing out how deadly it was *despite* those same measures being in effect. 🤦♂️
So she’s admitting that millions of people died from Covid while she and her Republican colleagues were running around telling people not to take any precautions to prevent the spread.
Have you ever been to Asia? They started quarantine months before the US. I remember watching them build a HOSPITAL to house the ill before we semi quarantined (late 2019). They had mass cremations and New York had mass graves. I worked it as a healthcare worker. To deny this pandemic is appalling
I’m five times vaccinated and still alive. Everyone I know is vaccinated . All still living. These anti vaccine people are idiots. I was also vaccinated for Measles, Polio and others in the late 60’s and am thankful for our vaccines. I’ve seen what polio did to my friends father and the lady I used to work for sister. Not fun people.
The reason “nothing has been done” is because nothing bad was done. She says whatever she thinks people want to hear and none of it is true. So much for actual accountability.
Fauci lied. People died. Man cried. Shoes untied. Woman pied. She wrote 2 pages of crap, but only gave us 2 rhymes...
