GOP chair reprimands Greene for refusing to call Fauci ‘doctor’
The Hill ^ | Lauren Sforza

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was reprimanded by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), the chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, for refusing to recognize Anthony Fauci as a doctor while questioning him.

Fauci, who became the face of the administration’s COVID-19 response while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the GOP-led committee on Monday for the first time since retiring.

During Greene’s turn to question him, the Georgia Republican refused to call Fauci “doctor,” and instead referred to him as “Mr. Fauci.”

“Do you think that’s appropriate? Do the American people deserve to be abused like that, Mr. Fauci, because you’re not ‘Dr.,’ you’re ‘Mr. Fauci’ in my few minutes,” she said, before adding, “No, I don’t need your answer.”

Should have called him a mass murderer and Weinstrup a douchebag.

What’s the big deal? Dems don’t even know what a woman is so why can’t MTG question the quack’s credentials?😖🤦‍♂️🤡🤡

Call Fauci “maestro”. Maybe that will satisfy the timid and trigga-ed (”trigger” is insensitive, y’know) Wenstrup.

Fauci is just an Unconvicted Felon.

I expect Wenstrup is another low-life who won’t refer to PDJT as “President”.

Did MTG really sass back at him? I love that!

Some people really get off on that uppity title stuff. We were married for two years before my parents knew that Hubby is a doctor (PhD). He never uses or flaunts it. The ones who insist on being called, “Doctor”, have self esteem issues.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup can take a flying leap from the Capitol Done. Especially after Red Diaper baby Jamie Raskin called Trump a convicted felon.

These RINOs can just not understand what is at stake apparently. They also fail to see what Democrats actually are, or they do and they quake in fear

I had a seminar in graduate school taught by someone who had a Ph.D. and was a Russian prince, but on his syllabus he just had “Mr.” plus his last name. He could have had H.R.H.

OK, I’ll refer to Fauci as “Doctor”..... But I’m gonna change the “Fauci” to “Mengele”.

I suppose this douche bag would do the same if someone refused to refer to Jill Biden as “Doctor”.

She says such dumb things. I mean we even call Dr. Mengele by that title. Now no one will ever remember what other, substantive points other GOP Reps made at this hearing...only her stupid clowning for clicks.
