People who weaponize lies are killing people.\u201d<\/p>\n

That wise phrase came from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been the target of \u201cweaponized lies\u201d for about, oh, the past couple of years. The lies are coming from right-wing critics who refuse to accept the truth he is telling about the disease that continues to kill Americans every day.<\/p>\n

Some of the more strident critics have talked openly about fitting Fauci with an \u201corange jump suit.\u201d They want to lock him up. They want to charge him with criminal acts.<\/p>\n

This is absurd, ridiculous. It is utter trash.<\/p>\n

I am fed up to here with the gutter talk that comes from the right-wingers who are fabricating reasons to oppose the doctor, who happens to be the nation\u2019s foremost infectious disease expert. Donald Trump brought him on board ostensibly to assist the administration in developing an anti-COVID strategy; Fauci sought to do what the president asked, only to have Trump undercut him.<\/p>\n

Trump lost the 2020 election and the new POTUS, Joe Biden, came on board. He retained Fauci and has since allowed the learned physician to talk openly to us about what we need to do to escape the clutches of the virus. President Biden has\u00a0stayed the hell out of the way!<\/em><\/p>\n

None of that has silenced the critics.<\/p>\n

The Fox News blowhards \u2014 led by Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity \u2014 have led the phony amen chorus calling for Fauci to be charged with some dubious criminal act.<\/p>\n

They have allies in Congress who say the same thing. One of them, a Republican who represents the Texas Panhandle, is a former physician and Navy flag officer. Ronny Jackson has picked up the falsehood weaponry and is firing it at Dr. Fauci.<\/p>\n

Jackson is a disgrace to the office he occupies.<\/p>\n

As for Fauci, I consider him to be a national hero.<\/p>\n
