Republicans have already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/top-republican-house-oversight-james-comer-eyes-hunter-biden-fauci-the-takeout\/\">indicated<\/a> that they will subpoena Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci admitted that it is becoming difficult to get even the most compliant people to follow his guidance anymore as trust in public health officials has plummeted. Fauci has regularly been accused of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/faucis-mixed-messages-inconsistencies-about-covid-19-masks-vaccines-and-reopenings-come-under-scrutiny\">changing<\/a> his positions and being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/majority-americans-think-politics-influenced-faucis-decision-making-1595450\">political<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s becoming more and more difficult to get people to listen, because even the people who are compliant want this behind them,\u201d Fauci said. \u201cWhat I try to convince them [of], with my communication method, is we\u2019re not asking you to dramatically alter your lifestyle. We\u2019re not asking you to really interfere with what you do with your life. We\u2019re just asking you to consider some simple, doable mitigation methods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Notable responses to Fauci\u2019s announcement about his retirement included:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomi Lahren<\/strong>, Fox News: \u201cEven Fauci knows a Republican is getting elected in 2024. His a*s doesn\u2019t wanna be investigated so he will \u2018retire.&#8217;\u201d<strong>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)<\/strong>: \u201cFauci pushed for lockdowns, mandates, and firing every American who chose not to take the vaccine. Now he want to \u2018put COVID politicization behind him\u2019? What a farce.\u201d<strong>Geoffrey Ingersoll<\/strong>, The Daily Caller: \u201cI think what we should remember about Fauci\u2019s tenure is how astronomically stupid it is to use US taxpayer $$$ to fund dual-use bioresearch with WMD potential in F***ING CHINA. I really mean that. Literally stupid. It takes a special kind of unthinking moron to make such a decision.\u201d<strong>Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)<\/strong>: \u201cFauci should be investigated before he gets away.
