俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫里森周四在这位前最高卫生官员在参议院听证会上拒绝回答问题后，加倍抨击对安东尼·福奇博士的批评，称其为民主党人的“英雄”。
周四晚间，莫里森在《汉尼提》节目中亮相时辩称，福奇对新冠疫情的处理是出于对权力的渴望，而非公共卫生考量。
“这是为了控制美国民众，”莫里森说，“他把我们当成了实验鼠。”
莫里森表示，福奇的疫情应对方式反映了他所认为的民主党人最终想要从政府那里得到的东西。

“你想把权力交给本国的民主党人、社会主义者和共产党人吗？他们会夺走你的自由，剥夺你的权利，控制你，取代你，”他说，“他们想要系统性地摧毁这个国家，这就是为什么福奇是他们的英雄。他得以实现他们只能幻想的事情，也就是全面彻底地控制美国民众。”
莫里森和福奇在周三的参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会听证会上发生冲突，当时福奇在律师建议下援引第五修正案反对自证其罪的权利，拒绝回答委员会成员的问题。

恼怒的莫里森告诉福奇，正是因为福奇对新冠疫情政策的影响力，才促使他竞选参议员。
“六年后的今天，我坐在这里对你说：‘你以为你当时算老几？你对这个国家做的一切简直是奇耻大辱，’”莫里森说。
当周四被问及是否坚持这些言论时，莫里森辩称福奇的影响力让儿童健康倒退了数十年，并摧毁了小企业。
“事实是，这家伙给这个国家造成了诸多伤害，”他说。

莫里森还提到了委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党参议员兰德·保罗在听证会前公布的1000多页内部笔记。保罗称，这些笔记表明福奇私下表达的新冠疫情观点与其公开表态存在分歧。
“这是最堕落的官僚之一，”莫里森说，并补充道福奇应该因其对疫情的处理方式面临起诉。
尽管福奇获得了前总统乔·拜登的赦免，但莫里森指出，州级调查仍有可能进行。周四，佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·尤特迈尔宣布，在福奇在周三的听证会上援引第五修正案权利后，其办公室将展开调查。
“我们知道他真正的想法，”莫里森说，“我们知道他对美国民众撒了谎。各州总检察长，比如佛罗里达州的那位——我希望俄亥俄州的也能这么做。我们必须追究这家伙的责任。”

莫里森表示，听证会期间最让他恼火的时刻是，他要求福奇向那些表示自己因疫情政策受到伤害或持反对意见的观众道歉。
“他连看都不看他们一眼，”莫里森说，“这家伙就是这么卑鄙无耻。”

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.”
Moreno and Fauci clashed during Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing after Fauci, on the advice of counsel, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from committee members.

A frustrated Moreno told Fauci that the former White House chief medical advisor had inspired him to run for the Senate because of his influence over COVID-19 policies.
“Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, ‘Who the f— do you think you were for doing that? It is a total disgrace what you did to this country,’” Moreno said.
Asked Thursday whether he stood by those remarks, Moreno argued Fauci’s influence set back children’s health for decades and devastated small businesses.
“The reality is this guy damaged a lot of things in this country,” he said.

Moreno also pointed to more than 1,000 pages of internal notes released by committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., ahead of the hearing. According to Paul, the notes suggest Fauci privately expressed views about COVID-19 that differed from some of his public statements.
“This is one of the most depraved bureaucrats,” Moreno said, adding that Fauci should face prosecution over his handling of the pandemic.
Although Fauci received a pardon from former President Joe Biden, Moreno noted that state investigations remain possible. On Thursday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced his office would open an investigation after Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right during Wednesday’s hearing.
“We know what he was actually thinking,” Moreno said. “We know he lied to the American people. State attorneys general, like the one in Florida—I hope the one in Ohio does the same thing. We got to pursue this guy.”

Moreno said the moment that bothered him most during the hearing came when he asked Fauci to apologize to audience members who said they were harmed by or disagreed with pandemic policies.
“He wouldn’t even look at them,” Moreno said. “That’s how despicable this guy is.”
