‘I Like The Idea’: Top Republican Surprises Fox Host With Answer On Arresting Dr. Fauci

Fox Business anchor Stuart Varney appeared to be caught off guard when House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told him on Tuesday he “liked” the idea of arresting Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“You say he lied to Congress and should be arrested? Isn’t that going a little far?” Varney asked Comer after showing a clip of Dr. Fauci testifying before Congress the day before.

“Well, I don’t know that I said he should be arrested, but, I like the idea, Stuart,” Comer replied as Varney raised his eyebrows and tilted his head in surprise.

“At the end of the day, if you lie to Congress, that’s a felony. And when you look at, the clip you just showed, everyone knows that Doctor Fauci was the lead instigator in the the the spacing distance. This is something that not only shut down tens of thousands of businesses in America and ran the debt up as a result of having to subsidize those businesses that were shut down and have to subsidize the unemployment rate. It destroyed public education. Kids couldn’t be in school because of the six foot social distancing requirements that that Doctor Fauci championed,” replied Comer.
