CNN’s Smerconish: Fauci’s Hearing Was ‘Theatre of the Absurd’; ‘A Lost Opportunity for Substantive Dialog on Matters of Real Importance’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SMERCONISH: "I saw some funny headlines about Dr. Fauci‘s testimony in front of that Senate committee. Both the hill and the Washington Post, they each trumpeted that there were five takeaways at the New York Post. There were five shocking things to know. I thought to myself, five. There was only one. The only takeaway was our system is so broken. Dr. Fauci took the fifth 111 times, according to that loop they keep showing on Fox News. He said this. He said given Senator Paul‘s obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he‘s calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, behind bars.”
