Trump Won’t Allow Fauci To Testify Before House: “The House Is A Set-Up”

President Donald Trump said the government’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, would not testify in the House of Representatives but only before the Senate. He argued this was because ‘the House is a set-up. The House is a bunch of Trump haters.’ He later said the US ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ to reopen amid the coronavirus outbreak

“The House is a setup. The House is a bunch of Trump haters,” the president told reporters as he departed the White House to visit an Arizona Honeywell factory.

“But Dr. Fauci will be testifying in front of the Senate, and he looks forward to doing that,” Trump added. “But the House I will tell you, the House, they should be ashamed of themselves. And, frankly, the Democrats should be ashamed, because they don’t want us to succeed. They want us to fail so they can win an election.”

They put every Trump hater on the committee — the same old stuff. They frankly want our situation to be unsuccessful, which means death, and our situation’s going to be very successful. The House has put on a committee, an oversight committee, of Maxine Waters and [Carolyn] Maloney and the same people, and it’s just a setup. But Dr. Fauci will be testifying in front of the Senate, and he looks forward to doing that. But the House I will tell you, the House should be ashamed of themselves. And frankly, the Democrats should be ashamed, because they don’t want us to succeed. They want us to fail so they can win an election.

The house and senate are both partisan setups. But, why is Dr. Anthony Fauci testifying anywhere? He has said plenty as a matter of public record. What’s the point of this in the first place? All we’ll get from Fauci in the House will be a sideshow.
