People Are Losing Their Minds After Marjorie Taylor Greene Refused To Call Dr. Anthony Fauci A Doctor
Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the House Select Subcommittee to speak about the coronavirus epidemic, and things quickly devolved into a volleyball match between various Republican lawmakers.
Honestly, Dr. Fauci was fielding ridiculous questions left and right, which left many viewers feeling like this:
Literally all this guy did was help save lives and now like once a year he has to go talk to the dumbest people on earth https://t.co/R4b0DzWHIX

But one of the most viral moments to come out of the hearing came from none other than Georgia state representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Behold. This moment when MTG asked Dr. Fauci if the American public "deserves to be abused" by health officials recommending six-foot social distancing...

...and she doubled down on her point by referring to the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as Mr. Fauci. "'Cause you're not doctor. You're Mr. Fauci in my few minutes." And before Dr. Fauci could respond, she added, "Nah, I don't need your answer."
After hearing this, Representative Jamie Raskin kind of ate by asking: "In terms of the rules of decorum, are we allowed to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don't want him to be a doctor?"
To which MTG said, "Yes, because in my time, that man does not deserve to have a license."
Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci just looked back and forth between the two, seemingly in disbelief.

The disdain for intelligence, science is just absolutely stunning. https://t.co/oLVAc2ZznQ

After viewing the clip, one person wrote, "I don't care how you feel about either party, in places like this we need to show decorum and proper etiquette when conducting business concerning our country. If you can't be respectful, you shouldn't serve. Republican or Democrat. She makes it look like a reality show on MTV."
