WASHINGTON - Dr. Anthony Fauci has been a political lightning rod since the early days of the pandemic, lionized by the left as a beacon of truth in an administration that badly mismanaged the pandemic and villainized by the right as a misguided, spotlight-seeking bureaucrat seeking to undermine former President Donald Trump.
But with the release of a trove of Fauci’s emails this week, Republicans’ attacks on the nation’s top government infectious-diseases expert have gone into overdrive. On conservative news channels, Fauci — who now serves as President Joe Biden’s pandemic adviser — has been pilloried as a liar who misled the American people about the origins of COVID-19 to protect the Chinese government. In Congress, Republican calls for his resignation have grown louder, as have demands for new investigations into the origins of the virus.
“Given what we know now, I don’t know how anyone can have confidence that he should remain in a position of public trust and authority,” said Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, a potential presidential hopeful who is calling for Fauci’s resignation and a full congressional inquiry.
The moves by Republicans represent a new effort to find a reliable foil in the first few months of the Biden administration, as they have struggled to turn public sentiment against the new president.
Biden administration officials and allies point to polling showing that Fauci is still one of the country’s most trusted public health communicators. Privately, they see the GOP’s focus on Fauci as a ploy to energize their base that likely will not resonate with moderate voters. And they are happy to compare Fauci’s record on public health with Trump’s.

Associated Pravda makes this all the Republicans’ fault.
Fauci’s actions are ignored because he is a loyal communist party member in good standing.
Remember several months back when some thought that Cuomo would be forced out?
Fauxi goes way back with big $$$ games with:
CDC/PEPFAR (Birx, Fauci, Pence),
Global Fund (Birx, Gates, vaccines, $10’s of billions from Fed via PEPFAR),
UN Development Program (oversees GF spending with closed books via “special immunity”, gets $100’s of millions from Fed for administering),
Global Fund grant recipients (like Chinese labs).
Remember that VP Pence put Fauxi front and center in this fear-mongering Covid fiasco.
PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, was launched in 2003 in response to a global ‘epidemic’ of HIV. Fauci was its architect. The program offered $2 billion annually, rising to about $7 billion in 2019, to surveil, diagnose, treat, and reduce transmission of HIV around the world.
The DNC Media are the most corrupt and evil enemy within.
President Trump was right about them.
Bwa-hahhahaha
Republicans pounce!
A GOP attack consists of saying the words, "troubling" and "concerned" on the Hannity show.
Partisan Media Shills alert.
Once again, when Republicans have the facts and the goods that catch Democrats red-headed then the corrupt MSM always frame Republicans as being motivated by filthy self-serving political calculations or as doing something that the evil Dr. Trump wants as his “ally”.
AP reporting, of one can call it that.
Half-gigabyte pdf of emails here:
the MSM KNOWINGLY has helped the planned GENOCIDE,
and deserves accountability, too.
Republicans “seize”
A(merican) P(ravda)
The left is about to throw Fauci under the bus. They fear nothing more than getting caught in their web of lies; the truth would destroy them.
America's Pravda speaks.
Most of the Chicom flu histeria would never have happened if we had a free press.
At least according to the Hamas fanboy club.

Never mind that Fauci’s action pushing gain-of-function research offshore to China thru third-party cutouts was the lit fuse that ultimately led to an engineered virus escaping the lab, crippling the world economy, and killing millions; the AP writers are more worried about the GOP using these facts to their advantage to hurt Dems.
Another example of what Bongino calls “Republicans pounce.” Instead of analysis of the emails themselves and what they reveal about Fauci’s culpability, the emphasis is on how evil conservatives may use them to score points in the ideological war.
