And, as mentioned in the Fox interview, freshman Rep. Madison Cawthorn, called Fauci a “punk” this week, saying that if the GOP regains control of the House in 2022, Fauci should be investigated. “We want to prosecute this guy to the full ability of the law,” Cawthorn said.
Fauci told Fox that he doesn’t like how “contentious” this has become and called Cawthorn’s accusations baseless. “I mean, and when a congressman makes a statement—I forgot what it was—that if they take over the House in 2022, I should be criminally investigated.

Fauci said he never meant to “annoy Trump loyalists” and that he’s “sorry” that he did. But he has no regrets. “When I was saying things that [Covid-19] is not going to just disappear, that this is not going to just go away, that we do have a very serious problem, that annoyed a lot of Trump loyalists. I’m very sorry that it annoyed them. But it is the truth. And that’s what I was trying to do and still do, is to tell the truth,” Fauci said.“I never have a regret about telling the truth or about doing my job,” the doctor replied.
