Trump: Fauci will testify only to Senate because 'House is a bunch of Trump-haters'

President Trump said Tuesday that Dr. Anthony Fauci – a leading member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force – will testify before the Senate but that he doesn't want him to appear before the House because it's "a bunch of Trump-haters."

"The House is a set up," the president said. "The House is a bunch of Trump-haters."

The president spoke specifically about an oversight committee in the Democrat-controlled chamber before which Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, could testify. The Senate is led by Republicans.

"They put every Trump hater on the committee. The same old stuff. ... The House has put on a committee, an oversight committee, of Maxine Waters and Maloney and the same people. And it’s just a setup," said Trump, who was apparently referring to New York Rep. Carolyn Malone, chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

"But Dr. Fauci will be testifying in front of the Senate, and he looks forward to doing that," Trump also said.

So’s the Senate. On both sides of the aisle.

[MarDav]

Those Pubbie senators need to light the fire under this guy’s backside. He needs to be exposed.

"The House is a bunch of Trump-haters."

So is Fauci, he'd fit right in.

[CMailBag]

I believe Fraudci is a Trump hater also. He is the guy who

convinced Trump to commit “Economic Suicide”..

The Senate is not much better.

Somebody needs to ask Flimsey Grahamnesty who he is voting for in November.

House Democrats had hoped to host Fauci at a hearing next week, and lamented the decision.

“The Appropriations Committee sought Dr. Anthony Fauci as a witness at next week’s Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee hearing on COVID-19 response” House Appropriations Committee spokesman Evan Hollander said in a statement to multiple news organizations. “We have been informed by an administration official that the White House has blocked Dr. Fauci from testifying,”

I still wonder who is going to grill Dr. Farce on the Senate side... Lindsey? Maybe Senator Kennedy or Barrasso but I have to think they will just play nice with the questions they ask.

"The House is a set up," the president said. "The House is a bunch of Trump-haters."

He should have said, "The House has proven that it is a group of low-IQ individuals who could not understand Dr. Fauci's testimony, anyway."

It has the advantage of being true.

Rand Paul questioning Fauci will be Must See TV.

[JoSixChip]

Hell, that list is worse then the house.

[Truth29]

Sometimes Trump is so blind. Fauci is going to totally undermine any near term reopening plans and defend China and the WHO. Trump is withholding funding from the WHO and saying he has intelligence that points at the Wuhan lab for the release. Fauci is everything he opposes. WAKE UP !

Trump should have said b/c of being true: "The House has proven that it is a group
of low-IQ individuals who could not understand Dr. Fauci's testimony, anyway."

Beautiful............would have been perfect.

[McGruff]

I don't have much hope for the senate either after they let Hillary skate from what was clearly a crime with her private email server.

The whole bunch are liberal sissy’s who don’t stand for much..just
to draw pay and freebies. We are letting America slide down hill,
thanks to all the immigrants who didn’t come here for freedom. We lost our chance long ago when English only came up in the political world and from letting foreigners purchase land..Those were the first to go..then all the anchor babies. I am not against immigration, but lawful immigration. Those who wish to be apart of this nation..

The second video you linked was well worth the time. Thank you for posting.

[Kirkwood]

Fauci convinced himself it was the major pandemic he had been predicting all of his life, and that he would become the hero who could save the world. I still don’t think he understands how wrong he was. He did this for personal glory, not because he hates Trump.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for that info.

I’d love to see questions and if anyone else will be called up.
