WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, angrily accused Kansas senator Roger Marshall last week of making false accusations that are leading to threats against him -- all to raise political cash. Now Senator Roger Marshall's campaign is selling t-shirts over the heated exchange during the Senate hearing.
During the January 11, hearing Fauci lost his temper when Marshall accused him of hiding financial disclosure forms required of public officials.
“You’re so misinformed that it’s extraordinary,” Fauci responded, saying those documents are publicly available upon request. As the exchange ended, Fauci could be heard muttering off-camera, “What a moron.” Following the line of questioning, Dr. Fauci proceeded to call Senator Marshall a “moron” and said, “Jesus Christ.” Click HERE to hear Dr. Fauci on hot mic.
