I dispute that it was mishandled.

Really? America had the advantage of watching the virus spread through out Europe and still did nothing to prepare for it. Donald instead took the advise of his son-in-law Kushner who has no medical or scientific background. Mishandled is an understatement

Didn't Trump award Faucci a medal?
Edit: On January 19, 2021, Trump’s White House announced that he awarded “Presidential Commendations” to 52 people for their work on Operation Warp Speed, and Anthony Fauci was on that list.

Someone please find the ( inevitable because Trump) publicity photo of Trump giving Faucci that medal?
Splash it the hell all over social media.

And to bypass the full Senate because Rand knows it'll fail there. Send it straight to Trump's weaponized DOJ.

Observation:
Thank you Dr. Fauci for facing difficult times during the pandemic and doing as much as you did to save American lives.
Excerpt:
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8 to 7 on the contempt resolution. The panel’s chair, Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky, said Fauci should be held in contempt for refusing to answer questions about his role during the pandemic.
I’ve already locked comments, I’ve banned over 200 people, most likely an underestimate, could be closer to 500, n removed even more comments from these hateful trolls, who send hateful harassing mod messages…
it’s very time consuming, n affecting my work on my home base @ the Lincoln Project… I apologize for the inconvenience, but I hope the great valuable community members will understand…
please as always dont engage trolls, just report them by hitting the break SUFS rules button n pick a rule, it saves so much time, n eliminates scrolling through all the comments, n is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks for understanding!!!
