Rand Paul (R-KY) for questioning Fauci, Avlon turned his intention to Ham, asking her about the \u201cconservative decision to demonize Anthony Fauci.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what\u2019s the game here? What is the purpose of this fixation on attacking Anthony Fauci?\u201d Avlon asked, <a href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/kristine-marsh\/2021\/07\/21\/fireworks-cnn-mary-katharine-ham-shames-media-fangirling-fauci\">according<\/a> to NewsBusters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s entirely a game,\u201d Ham rebuffed Avlon. \u201cI think it\u2019s that Fauci is a very powerful public official who deserves and rarely gets tough questioning in almost any realm. He gets frankly a lot of fangirling and a lot of just sort of forum for his ideas and he doesn\u2019t get a lot of pushback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Paul understood the assignment here,\u201d she&nbsp;continued. \u201cHe\u2019s asking about a tough subject that admittedly none of us are experts on, but I would like to know a lot more about. And despite his protestations, tough questions for Dr. Anthony Fauci are not attacks on science itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ham then blasted Fauci for his repeated \u201cshadings\u201d of the truth, which she said are why the American people don\u2019t trust him. The conservative noted of Fauci\u2019s flip-flopping on masks, seemingly to keep the supply of masks for hospital staffers. You might agree with the outcome, she said, but it built up distrust from the American people.<\/p>\n<p>The CNN panelist then talked about the coronavirus lab leak theory, which Fauci has dismissed:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>\u201cOn the issue of this particular line of questioning which has to do with the lab leak theory, we also have to put in practice you may say it\u2019s legitimate to ask him difficult questions but we don\u2019t ever seem to get around it to. Okay? On this issue in particular that\u2019s connected to the lab leak theory. The lab leak theory was credible last year. Reported on valiantly by [CNN analyst] Josh Rogin even when people say it was verboten and we shouldn\u2019t talk ability. Rand Paul asked about it last year as well. This is the kind of thing that makes people distrust folks when we\u2019re told we can\u2019t talk about something that we have good reason to ask\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Ham ripped the media and criticized Fauci, Avlon looked visibly outraged.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast host and political commentator Stephen L. Miller commented on the CNN anchor. \u201cJohn [Avlon] looks completely incensed at the very suggestion that Fauci must answer questions for his role in NIH funding,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/redsteeze\/status\/1418205588614352896\">posted<\/a> to Twitter. \u201cAnd this right here is the entire problem. He looks personally offended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Political&nbsp;analyst David Gregory, also on the panel, was outraged, too, deeming Ham\u2019s criticism as \u201ccable news silliness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.3544303797468\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkhammer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mkhammer<\/a> drops ABSOLUTE TRUTH BOMBS on CNN about Fauci.<\/p>\n<p>Just look at their faces!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udd23 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5xxeIEuMOC\">pic.twitter.com\/5xxeIEuMOC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Twitchy Team (@TwitchyTeam) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitchyTeam\/status\/1418203118890803200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rand-paul-im-making-criminal-referral-to-doj-for-anthony-fauci-because-he-has-lied-to-congress\">Rand Paul: I\u2019m Making \u2018Criminal Referral\u2019 To DOJ For Anthony Fauci Because \u2018He Has Lied To&nbsp;Congress\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
