WATCH: Conservative Stuns CNN Panel With Fauci Criticism, Mocks Media ‘Fangirling’https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-conservative-stuns-cnn-panel-with-fauci-criticism-mocks-media-fangirlingCNN anchor John Avlon was viably stunned and appalled when conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci for losing Americans’ trust and ripped the media for “fangirling” over the powerful bureaucrat, rather than ask him important tough questions.
After the liberal CNN panelists and coanchors roundly ridiculed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for questioning Fauci, Avlon turned his intention to Ham, asking her about the “conservative decision to demonize Anthony Fauci.”
“So what’s the game here? What is the purpose of this fixation on attacking Anthony Fauci?” Avlon asked, according to NewsBusters.
“Well, I don’t think it’s entirely a game,” Ham rebuffed Avlon. “I think it’s that Fauci is a very powerful public official who deserves and rarely gets tough questioning in almost any realm. He gets frankly a lot of fangirling and a lot of just sort of forum for his ideas and he doesn’t get a lot of pushback.”
“Senator Paul understood the assignment here,” she continued. “He’s asking about a tough subject that admittedly none of us are experts on, but I would like to know a lot more about. And despite his protestations, tough questions for Dr. Anthony Fauci are not attacks on science itself.”
Disarming a loaded "question".
