Dr. Anthony Fauci has a lot of enemies on the Hill —and now he can add the GOP Doctors Caucus to that list. The docs wrote a letter demanding an apology for Fauci’s comments during a recent Senate hearing where he called Sen. Roger Marshall a “moron.”
The letter is signed by vice chair Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) and co-signed by 12 other Republican doctors serving in Congress.
“We all understand that congressional hearings can sometimes be challenging; however, your behavior in calling Senator, and fellow physician, Roger Marshall a ‘Moron’ was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. Considering you are the highest paid employee in the entire federal government, Dr. Marhsall’s line of questioning — given he is a member of the committee directly responsible for the oversight of NIAID — was completely appropriate,” the letter read.
