In a fitting metaphor to her husband’s apparent demeanor toward America, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s wife flipped a bird to a photographer perched outside their $2.4 million home in Washington, D.C.
The middle finger from Fauci’s wife, Dr. Christine Grady, comes after the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to hold the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in contempt of Congress after Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a staggering 111 times last week when appearing before the panel.

Fauci could face up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine, if he is convicted of the misdemeanor contempt charge.
Because Fauci received a pardon from President Joe “Auto-pen” Biden, he is prevented from being able to plead the Fifth, according to Republican senators on the committee.
“The assertion of a Fifth Amendment privilege only adheres to those instances where the witness has a reasonable fear of future prosecution, and it must be tailored to any such fear,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) explained.

As for his wife, somewhat ironically, she is the chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

They need to drag her ass in and put her under the bright lights to see how quickly she cracks.
