AS A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN, I DEMAND TRUMP LET FAUCI TESTIFY BEFORE THE HOUSE
Newsweek ^ | 5/7/20 AT 3:59 PM EDT | CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN ON

Posted on 05/07/2020 4:04:58 PM PDT by conservative98

President Donald Trump's decision to block Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, from appearing before the House of Representatives is ludicrous.

[cut]

If he wants to be a good leader in this time, Trump should promote free and open access to data about the virus and welcome input on how the U.S. can improve its response to the pandemic. Regardless of the political climate, the president should permit Congress to continue with its role in managing this crisis, which means that access to scientific testimony must come before politics.

In the same way, Democrats and Republicans in Congress should use these hearings to gather the facts, so we can improve our response, not as a political tool. Given indications that the administration knew more than it revealed, the hearings may have partisan consequences. But the goal of these hearings should be to uncover information, not to weaponize it for political gain.

In times like these, no one gets it 100 percent right. As the hearings reveal mistakes and failures, let's use them as an opportunity to improve, not to point fingers. We have a long way to go before the pandemic is behind us. The information the task force could provide can help us move forward with all the facts. All public officials, Democrats and Republicans, should get behind that goal.

Former Republicans are in no position to make demands.

FDR didnt have his Generals testifying before Congress while the war mobilization was just starting.

If they want to hear anything from Fauci, send a letter and he’ll respond as he has time. Or just get a task force briefing from the VP

First off Fauci is not the nation’s top infectious disease expert.

He has been director of NIAID for 36 years. This is an administrative/political position.

Theoretically NIAID funds the top experts, but Fauci is not one.

Clearly he failed in having no therapeutic response even envisioned for a large SARS outbreak despite having had 15 years to do it.

Whitman TV banner “Will vote for Clinton if GOP Nominates Trump.”

Wow. I guess you can trust her except for all the times you can’t trust her. Not good for political leaders-—or parachutes.
