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.

She’s rearing her ugly head. And I mean fugly.

Looking at the screenshot above, she has not aged well.

Let’s first take up the question of the air in lower Manhattan after 9/11. Christy had a position on that didnt she ? I think she said don’t worry the air is fine. So let’s talk about that

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

ifinnegan, you got the headline....for some reason, most of these freepers thought it was about C.T. Whittman probably so this wouldn't be posted. (interview with Dr. Judy Mikovits) Someone is having this interview removed from various sites......

She was not and is not now...a republican.

She is a narcissistic POS and a giant baby killer.

Worships abortion and calls herself a republican.

Newsweek is as biased an outlet as exists today. They delete conservative comments and allow mostly snowflake comments.

Is she auditioning to be Biden’s running mate? She’ll have to fend off Stacey Abrams, and that would be fun to watch.

" . . . access to scientific testimony must come before politics."

There'no better way to politicize this than to have Fauci speak in front of a bunch of grandstanding politicians.

Christine TURD Whitman is a RINO from way back. I despised her since she stabbed Bob Grant in the back in 1994. He got booted off of WABC, but it was a blessing I disguise for him. Je returned to WOR, a less powerful station, bit a couple of years later became one of the first talk show hosts to have his shows simulcast over the internet, even before elRushbo.

As a lifelong Republican I say he shouldn’t. My vote cancels out yours.

She wants Biden to finger her for a position in his administration.
