After the publishing of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails by The Washington Post Republican politicians and pundits have called for the doctor to be removed from his position and punished.

The emails were a cause for concern as Republicans have claimed that his private statements in those emails conflict with the statements he was making in front of the television cameras.

That caused Fox News reporter Peter Doocy to ask White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki if she could ever imagine Joe Biden firing Fauci.

“And you mentioned Dr. Fauci, there have been these emails that have come out through a FOIA request that make it seem like–we knew that he had his hands full at the time trying to figure out what to do. But it seems like there were times that he was saying one thing in email, and then coming to this microphone, and saying something else. If that is the case, and if that affected U.S. policy posture at the time, should he be held accountable?” he asked Psaki.

“Well, I’ve talked a little bit about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Fauci has been out doing several interviews himself and answering questions on these emails and questions that you all may have. Dr. Fauci is a renowned public servant, civil servant, I should say, career civil servant. He’s overseen management of multiple global health crises and attacks and–and attacks launched on him are certainly something we wouldn’t stand by.

“I understand there’s interest in the emails, he’s answered a lot of questions on the emails. I don’t think I’m going to have much more to add on them from here,” she said.

“Do you think the attacks are political against Dr. Fauci?” Doocy said.

“I’m going to let Dr. Fauci speak to his own defensive his emails from 17 months ago before this president even took office,” she said. Which was not really a defense of what is in the emails, considering he is still in the same job.

“Okay. And then, finally, does President Biden had a position on gain of function research?” he said.

“Well, we have not, as Dr. Fauci has actually said repeatedly, we’ve never approved any funding for gain of function research in Wuhan. I know that’s, I think, why you’re asking the question. I believe some may have been approved or there was funding approved during the prior administration. There’s a framework, I should say. This is not meant to be a criticism of funding and how it’s approved through different NIH programs, but I would send you them to give more of an explanation of the funding mechanisms,” Psaki said.

“And since you mentioned Dr. Fauci again, can you imagine any circumstance where President Biden would ever fire him,” the reporter said.

“No,” she said.

The questions and answers came after Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested that Fauci committed perjury and should be prosecuted.

“In retrospect that looks a lot like perjury,” Carlson said, in reference to testimony Fauci gave to Sen. Rand Paul when he denied that any funds were given to the Wuhan lab for “gain of function research.”

“We do know that starting early last year, a lot of people in the NIH were worried that Covid had not occurred naturally – that it had been manipulated in a lab in China – and yet they seem determined to hide that fact from the public,” he said.

Carlson also accused Fauci of lying when he said last year that the coronavirus had originated from bats.

“At that point, he could not have known that. That was dishonest,” he said.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
