‘She’s Really Dumb!’ MTG Called Out After COVID Hearing | Opinion

The hosts of “The View” expressed outrage after watching a House hearing where Dr. Anthony Fauci faced intense questioning from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene, who refused to address Fauci as “doctor,” accused him of committing “crimes against humanity” and suggested his incarceration.

Committee chair James Comer directed Greene to refer to Fauci as “doctor” during the session.

“First of all, who’s paying for this?” Whoopi Goldberg asked. “We are,” Alyssa Farah Griffin said. “The taxpayers,” Sunny Hostin said.

“What the hell, man?” Goldberg continued. “Dr. Fauci denied any efforts to improperly influence the debate over COVID’s origin, but, you know, everybody says, this thing hit, we tried to figure out what it was, and we’re still trying to figure out what it is.”

“No one is sure where it came from or what’s going on, but was this really looking for answers to more BS from there?”

Sara Haines acknowledged Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) for influencing Comer’s decision regarding Greene.

Crockett had urged another GOP committee chair to uphold the rule prohibiting lawmakers from making personal attacks on each other after Greene made comments about her eyelashes without facing any consequences.

Haines noted that, thanks to Crockett, committee chairs are now taking action to enforce rules that Greene had been openly flouting for an extended period.

She contended that while individuals may criticize and analyze the handling of the pandemic in hindsight, “everyone was doing what they could in realtime. There was no deep-state conspiracy theory that wanted, for some reason, the Republican Party to vote out Donald Trump. This was a global pandemic. The theories around this actually are so crazy I don’t know how anyone is indulging them.”

However, it was comedian and veteran host Joy Behar who highlighted the fact that Greene has “no business being on a committee about science.”

“This is the woman who says Jewish space lasers cause fires. That was the first thing,” said Behar.

She also highlighted the fact that Greene was absent from seven out of the initial ten hearings conducted by the committee.

“But this is something that she said that I think is just hilarious: she has publicly questioned this, ‘If the Earth spins at a thousand miles an hour why can’t we feel ourselves moving? She’s really dumb! She’s dumb. It’s a quote. She’s really stupid, you know, and so disrespectful to Dr. Fauci.”
