Fuming MAGA senator hurls curse at Fauci: 'Answer for your crimes'

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) erupted Wednesday at Anthony Fauci during an explosive Senate hearing, blurting out an expletive while accusing the former government health official of being guilty of grave “crimes.”Fauci was compelled to testify Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security Committee to answer questions related to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last weekend, portions of his personal diary were published, which a number of Republican senators seized on during the hearing.“It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm gonna give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate. Here I am, sitting in front of you six years later saying who the f--- do you think you were for doing that?” a furious Moreno said before angrily waving his finger. “It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. There is no defense of what you did. You may have had a 50-plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace.”Moreno then asked Fauci, who throughout the meeting had declined to answer any questions and instead invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, if he had “the dignity” to apologize to people “he harmed” during the pandemic.Fauci again invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer the question.“It's no secret why you have to hire the biggest dirtbag attorney on the planet because of what you did,” Moreno continued. “I hope you're paying him well, and I hope that one way or the other, somewhere, sometime, you answer for your crimes.”"Who the f**k do you think you were for doing that?"— Sen. @berniemoreno to Anthony Fauci pic.twitter.com/mjsf9vVVh9— Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) July 29, 2026

GOP senator abruptly halts meeting after Trump pick ignores demand to kill slush fund

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has canceled his meeting with President Donald Trump's candidate for attorney general, Todd Blanche, after the Justice Department made it clear it doesn't have any further information on confirmation that the so-called "slush fund" was officially eliminated as a possibility, reported MS NOW producer Kyle Griffin. During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Blanche was questioned about the nearly $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that could be used to give a kind of restitution to anyone who felt they'd been wronged by the DOJ in the past. This includes Jan. 6 attackers who both confessed and were convicted of crimes related to a violent riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.“Hopefully they now recognize the seriousness of this,” said Cornyn, according to a Politico report. “I haven’t seen a single piece of writing that is responsive to what I’ve requested.”“Maybe they think I’m just going to give up or, you know, go along, but they’re mistaken," he added. Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Cornyn must indicate whether he's a "yay or nay" on Blanche by 4 p.m. on Wednesday. According to Politico, Grassley needs to know "if the vote could go forward, putting the Trump administration on a tight timeline if it wants Blanche confirmed before the Senate starts its summer recess next week."Blanche has maintained for the past several months that the fund is "dead" and that it would not be created. The problem, Cornyn said, is that the legal agreement that Blanche and Trump came to about the IRS would still establish the fund. Trump sued the IRS after his personal information was leaked in a data breach along with over 405,000 other people and businesses. When Blanche asserted the fund was "moot," Cornyn asked, "Well, I would refer you to the settlement agreement. Do you happen to have a copy of that in front of you?"Cornyn read the language verbatim from page four of the agreement: "This settlement agreement can be modified, may be modified only upon the written agreement of the parties. Has there been a written agreement of the parties to modify the settlement fund?"Blanche claimed that the fund was not going forward, so there is no modification to the agreement between Trump and the government. "Well, so the settlement agreement remains as it was originally. But I hear what you're saying is it — is the settlement agreement enforceable as a contract by the parties?" he asked.Blanche said that it was and would be considered an "enforceable document."Kathleen Williams, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, published a 56-page ruling not only denouncing the case as "an exercise in self-dealing," but also bashing Trump's so-called "settlement" over his IRS lawsuit, a case "that had no viable basis in law or fact." Blanche has continued to refuse to sign a legal document asserting that the slush fund is dead.

'Tough guy:' Senator shamed for silence on daughter's abuse claim after F-Bomb tantrum

A Republican senator faced a public shaming Wednesday after he dropped an F-bomb on Dr. Anthony Fauci.Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) became enraged as the infectious disease expert repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has long accused Fauci of a coronavirus cover-up."Who the f--- do you think you were for doing that?” Moreno told Fauci. "There is no defense of what you did. You may have had a 50-plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace.”Moreno's words quickly spurred an uproar online as critics recalled the Ohio senator's silence on another matter. Social media critics wondered why the Ohio Republican had not expressed such public outrage when his daughter Emily Moreno accused her ex-husband Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) of abusing her and their 2-year-old daughter.Miller denies the claims. A New York Times report revealed disturbing court records documenting their daughter's words to her mother: “Daddy kill you.”This prompted MS NOW's Chris Hayes to note on X, "Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.""Bernie is angrier at Fauci than he is at the member of Congress that allegedly beat up his daughter," observed Rolling Stone's Nikki McCann Ramírez."Moreno is the tough guy who will not say a word about the Republican congressman allegedly beating the s--- out of and pulling a gun on Moreno's own daughter," fumed pundit Julie Roginsky."Interesting that he has this smoke for Fauci but not for the elected member of Congress who abused his daughter and grandchild," added author Brandon Wolf."This is *somewhat* unprecedented," pointed out popular X user Peter Twinklage. "In 2020, Dem Senator Tom Carper dropped several F-bombs on a hot-mic during a virtual committee hearing. Prior to that, the late Lindsey Graham used the expletive while quoting text messages from Peter Strzok in 2019. But, yeah, this is bonkers!""This is a repulsive castigation of a man who has devoted everything to science and the American people," opined the massively followed Intellectualist account. "He is not a perfect man; no one is. But to see senators throwing stones at Dr. Anthony Fauci, a public servant who has served this country for decades through the HIV/AIDS crisis, Ebola, and COVID-19, is a disgrace."
