Moreno unloads on Fauci after Senate hearing, calls him Democrats’ ‘hero’ over pandemic policies
The Ohio Republican argued Fauci’s pandemic response was driven by a desire for power rather than public health
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, doubled down Thursday on his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci after the former top health official declined to answer questions during a Senate hearing, calling him Democrats’ “hero.”
Appearing on “Hannity” Thursday evening, Moreno argued Fauci’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was driven by a desire for power rather than public health.
“This is about controlling American people,” Moreno said. “He treated us like lab rats.”
Moreno said Fauci’s approach to the pandemic reflected what he believes Democrats ultimately want from government.

“You want to give power to Democrats, socialists and communists in this country? They will take away your freedoms, they will take away your liberties, they’ll control you, they’ll replace you,” he said. “They want to systematically destroy this country, and that’s why Fauci is their hero. He got to do what they only fantasize about, which is total and complete control of the American people.”
