White House Allows Fauci To Testify Before The Senate, But Not The House | MSNBC
Why can’t American politicians just decide to be good examples that inspire us, not give us pause?
@Sir Crusadion Yes. I will any time over Remdesivir. I already know people who were cured taking HCQ.
So many lives could be saved. Just don’t administer HCQ to patience with heart issues. It’s been approved
by FDA for 70 yrs. Remdesivir just finished human trial for few months.
Which do you trust?
@brian gardner Hurts to be an absolute loser doesn’t it.
It’s not monetarily driven. We live in a capitalist country, it’s to be expected of politicians to function the same way.
Hispanic #WALKAWAY townhall tonight at 9pm , #WALKAWAY TONIGHT 👍🇺🇸
Many of our politicians here in the US are funded and financed by big pharma,oil,or insurance….that means they will do whatever those “paying” industries want them to do….apparently it costs a lot of money to get elected (campaigning)….whoever does the paying does the saying….makes for quite a mess
Dear United States government, you’re fired. Sincerely, a fed up citizen
Move out … and testify real fed up citizens…
@Sata Mukh Because of the demo crats pushing racism paronoia when Trump was trying to ban travel from foreign countries, he couldn’t immediately stop travel from the plague country after they shutdown. Thousands flew in that infected America.
@Mark Silvers No! I typed it from your mama’s basement after her hunger was satisfied… Man ! That woman had an insatiable appetite! Lol !
@John Dharma Thats awesome! How was it she’s dead?
@Mark Silvers It was great! I thought she was a little masculine though. My suspicions were confirmed, when neighbors noticed you walking about wearing women’s clothing. So I guess your like the nut job in the movie Psycho. You know, Norman Bates !
Oh ! By the way I noticed no, LMAO’s or Lol’s; what’s the matter, lost your sense of humor? Sad!
this epidemic has become so politicized that it’s not even funny
@Nile Wilkie just put a zip on your mouth or youll start bragging “give me freedom or give me coronavirus” 😂😂
@Pat Doyle what are you talking about.. pearl harbor and 911. Huh 🤔some people get on here and talk mess. Take your ideas to the wh and see if they give you a job.
@Sanju Rahman you’re yelling at someone to stop advocating for freedom? You and what you stand for is the problem. I will never stop.
@Nile Wilkie i know you wont stop thsts why i told america is going down
@Sanju Rahman nope, we were not meant to be suppressed.
Enjoy your socialism, dictator or whoever the person is that tells you how to live.
A little bit political??? That’s like saying the Pacific Ocean is a little large….this is ridiculous
Robert Phipps planned by Fauci and Gates? To what end? What do they get from this?
@Justin Libby-Perry crappy summation. how are dems “eating their own”? commie sanders was resoundingly rejected. he was beaten like a red-headed stepchild in almost every state. what lack of unity are you talking about? or are you just poppin’ off at the mouth for the sake of poppin’ off at the mouth?
@epstein was killed The right is unified behind one person, and they all plan to vote for him, regardless of his lack of qualifications. Again.
On the left you have people that refuse to vote for Biden because their preferred candidate didn’t win the primary, and he isn’t “their guy.” They plan to either stay at home and not vote, or they plan to write in a candidate. They have the right, as Americans, to abstain, but that’s what is meant by a “fractured party.”
The left is fractured, the right is not. You don’t have to be a genius to see that. Take a quick peek at the comment section of any political video, as a microcosm.
All the snide and snarky comments, in the world, don’t nullify fact. Even if that is the current administration’s “go-to,” for every and all situations.
@Justin Libby-Perry where were all these people that are upset that sanders lost? did they stay home on election day? *LET ME REPEAT THIS AGAIN ‘CAUSE YOU LACK READING COMPREHENSION SKILLS: NO ONE VOTED FOR SANDERS!!! WHY DO YOU WANT DEMOCRATS TO WORRY ABOUT THE NUMBER ZERO????? THE LANDSLIDE THAT BIDEN GOT IS ENOUGH AND ALL HE NEEDS NOW IS ENOUGH INDEPENDENTS ON HIS SIDE. INDEPENDENTS DECIDE ELECTIONS AND INDEPENDENTS ARE NOT COMMUNISTS.*
*PLEASE TRY ANOTHER ANGLE BECAUSE WHAT YOU’RE CURRENTLY PEDDLING IS ASTONISHINGLY STUPID!*
By THE Donald not taking charge when the intelligence agencies told him “we have a problem Houston / mr. President” and we all watched him do nothing & called it a hoax ❗
LOOK what he has caused
🌹72,225 American citizens🌹
Have died and still counting.
The dope doesn’t want the smart people talking…
@Sugar Gunz BTW, I don’t belong to a party. Don’t put me in a category, I don’t need a party to tell me how to think, run my life, or vote.
@NewFlyer56k if thats what you think a party is then you need all the help you can get.
@Sugar Gunz I guess you didn’t get my point. Sad… Soooo sad..
@NewFlyer56k Whats really sad is your thought process or lack of.
@Kathy Wedzik yeah Nancy Pelosi is a clown, agreed.
Defying congressional subpoenas was unthinkable just three years ago, and now it’s “a little bit political”.
@bverji where did that info come from? do you have a link?
@Cuz R I guess we will see if that is true, if the Senate Dems can ask questions, how many and for how long.. Regardless… both the House and the Senate are doing an investigation and by “allowing” one and not the other it looks like there is something to hide or like the “President” is playing partisan games. In which case our country should vote him out for playing games during a world crisis.
Jessica Wyant Of course they can ask questions in the senate. They will waste all their questions trying to trash trump. Congress has not come up with a reason to talk to him yet.
Ann Owens racist
@Jessica Wyant
Kayleigh McEnany was talking with Eric Shawn and explained why DR. Fauci wasn’t going to testify and basically because the house dems refused to reveal what they wanted him to testify about.
“he chief of staff repeatedly asked what the subject matter of the hearing would be…she never gave too much detail as to what the actual subject matter would be other than it being a subcommittee for HHS…when asked why Dr. Fauci, in particular, was the right person for this testimony in this hearing, those details were never provided.”Beyond that, I’d also note where the Senate gave us their plans to social distance and how to do this safely. The House has yet to do that.
It sounds an awful lot like they made the request expecting the WH to turn them down so they could politicize it.
Transparency… naw.. let’s go full corrupt and hide everything!
@Leighanne Paris except that he clearly is right now lol but go ahead and ignore the actual subject we are all currently talking about
Leighanne Paris until January 2021
@Leighanne Paris… Vladivostok? And your Name Is Boris?
Exactly what their doing! Why else would they do that? And don’t tell me it’s national security BS
@Naniquí Del Coquí up 7 up b
Just like all criminals, follow the money
@Max prophet correct me if I’m wrong, the law says no person shall profit from their position in government such as Mayors governor’s senate Congress and so on. I don’t know the exact term or any of the specifics but I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. How much of the trillions do you suppose went to the wrong people and businesses, we could be foolish and pretend the government isn’t allowing that to happen but if it wasn’t why fire the oversight committee. Then how many ( on both sides ) profited from insider trading. I hear stories of people scamming unemployment benefits. And how many millions does a business have to be worth before it’s no longer a small business. Don’t get me started on the bail outs and chosing to help the cruise ship industry but not the postal service. Now I’m not including the 1200dollar checks I don’t too many people that couldn’t use a little help with some extra cash and it will help the economy Wich helps us all. But where there is large amounts of money there is corruption. Now I have my opinions but those are not facts so I’m not pointing fingers or dropping names
@Max prophet spend it well and hope it helps you and yours I know I did.
@James Feldman maybe he would say that was mighty fine Kentucky chicken can i have some more !!!!!
@James Feldman and what did he do wrong was it trying to save lives was it trying to tell the truth, or was it him not being a yes man to tRUMP and making tRUMP look bad when he spoke science over wishful thinking
Thanks Chris, I can’t correct you. I gave it away, to where it should’ve gone. It helped me doing what I did, I’ve lived in poverty most of my life, I’ll probably have moments of regret that’ll hopefully be forgotten quickly. My values keep me alive, not wealth.
People of the US, stand together no matter who is in the Chair. As long as you fight each other, the people who’ve been in power for yeeeears stay that way.
I love your comment, nothing but the TRUTH.
VOTE Republican a link to that article would be nice 👍
Ernie Hatmaker Being complacent has never worked for anyone. If we had a non-partisan in the WH then your argument would carry some weight, unfortunately that’s not the case. Oversight of a corrupt administration & addressing the problems are Paramount…..if not, “the people who’ve been in power for yeeeears stay that way”.
@Adventure54 I am not arguing. That is my point. 👍
@Atheistic Liberty https://youtu.be/R6y8dlhoMpo
The Senate is safe space. Republicans are gutless sellouts
@Stormsmack and Trump is clearly dyslexic. Also, he considered the benefit of injecting disinfectant. Nevermind the fact that he’s a game show host with zero political experience.
@Stormsmack *******
You mean Trump? You’re right, he is despicable.
@Stormsmack Also, the word is “idiocy”. “Idiocracy” is the movie.
@Mimsy Borogove no, I mean parrots. Such as yourself. You call us deplorables while you are despicables. Sad part is, you’re too stupid to understand it.
@Stormsmack anyone that unquestionably follows their side or generalizes entire groups of ppl like you just did is a parrot and too IGNORANT to understand. You can be intelligent and not have the knowledge to know better than to believe certain things. Truth is both Republicans and Democrats alike have been acting ridiculous and are seemingly unable to listen to others and see the faults in their points of view. Noone wants to admit they’re wrong about ANYTHING and that’s the biggest thing driving this country apart. Why are you making that problem worse?
lmao ! wht a joke this system has become, lol.
@Dead Planet…. Obama, Obama, Obama. Now sprinkle a little Clinton Bill and Hillary In the Comment for Spice. TRUMP, Inappropriately Occupies the Oval Office and has for The Past THREE Plus Years And That And That Alone Is THE PROBLEM (With A Lot Of Mitch MCCONNELL Sprinkled In For Skeevy Curruption).
@White Tower Woodworking oh shutup you deranged conspiracy lunatics we are so sick of you
@White Tower Woodworking You have no point just BS lies
Eco Geek I don’t think I will shut up. I won’t fight with you either. I’ll just leave you to ruminate on facts and ideas you haven’t put any effort into.
Alice Rizing It didn’t just happen it’s been this way drone the beginning
This is like a Russia or China move. America is not what it used to be.
Aalekh Kaswala the goal of socialism is communism
Republicans literally blocking testimony because democrats might say something mean about their leader. 🤣 Welcome to communism!
@Kronik Kronolov what specifically is facist. Be specific. Ill wait.
@KTBFF High what is the difference between communism and socialism?
@Erik Grubbs
Socialism is placing control of the means of production in the hands of labor; giving workers more economic & political authority. An example would be a law mandating that a company have a majority ownership stake held by its workers’ pension fund.
Communism is the deliberate & complete eradication of all class structures & social hierarchies.
Marx put forth the idea that socialusm would pave the way for communism. Almost no one is an actual communist any more. Most leftists today want capitalusm supplanted as a system but not banned outright.
When someone says “socialism is supposed to lead to communism” that’s someone who will either openly clain to be a marxist, or far more commonly, a right wing propagandist banking on the audience’s ignorance of modern leftist thought.
When did we go from the UNITED States of America to the DIVIDED States of America?
@Uncle Buck I remember watching tv while Carter and Ford’s votes were being counted and the States were turning blue and red; I was trying to understand what was going on. I knew ‘something important’ was going on…I was just newly, 6 yrs old. (10-69)
As far as Reagan goes…all I can see is “Before-Reagan/After-Reagan”.
He was a game-changer for the wealthiest, and NOT for the ‘working-class American’.
Before Reagan, my parents had good jobs that payed well and they could plan for YEARS ahead. They had PENSIONS back then, as you know. My mom and dad BOTH lost those good jobs- dads plant closed and moms moved to Mexico. (Have you ever heard of Kirsch Co? They make, or did, if they’re still around, window dressings.)
After Reagan, none of that was true. And since then, MY GENERATION STILL cannot plan ahead for more than maybe a couple months at a time. Lay-offs. Companies closing. Poverty wages. More and more exspensive healthcare with less and less benefits. This is the direction Reagan turned us.
Since then, our country has been shredded and divided and we’re STILL paying for it. Now, our very Constitution is being shredded. Today we have people who even deny this. Or twist the reality of it.
It really isn’t hard to see when one grows up amongst it all.
💯🇺🇸❤
❤Greetings from MI and be well! 💯❤
@Uncle Buck McDs and going to the movies/drive-in were luxury ‘treats’ when I was growing up. 😂
Anyway it’s sliced, wages have not kept up to the cost of “necessities” costs going up. Not even close.
Rent, food, healthcare inc. medicines, insurance, a home, a car. These are necessities.
College is technically a necessity, but if you can’t find a job that you went to school for on top of the debt accumulated that must be paid, or paid a living wage if you can, it actually sounds more like a risky gamble.
When you meet people in America that say, “I wish I’d never gone to college.” THAT’S AN ISSUE! 😡💯❤
@Uncle Buck everything is going up any way. Let use your burger reference. If one burger cost 7.50 and you pay your employee 7.50 you can sell 3 burgers an HR to make a profit. Your employee is paid for. So If everything is going up shouldn’t wage go up also?
kevin housen wait you forgot about the cost of meat, buns, vegetables, cheese, condiments, paper wrapping, sacks, napkins, the delivery cost of all these items, commercial rent (expensive ), liability insurance, property insurance, health insurance for every employee, maintenance, electrical, water, disposal, sanitation, quarterly tax, franchise tax, HR, I’m probably forgetting some stuff I’m not thinking about. The $15 dollar profit after paying for $7.50 for the hour of labor does not even come close to paying for this. Not to mention if the owner took a loan, then there is payment and interest.
Charlie J 1776.
Political Pandemic:
Dr. Fauci – we’ll let you talk to the Republicans, but not the Democrats… Totally childish.
More like totally corrupt. FAKE PRESIDENT.
I feel like they shouldn’t be able to block other committees from hearing someone express their right to free speech.
No, not childish, like removing oversight, actually very DANGEROUS
house is not in session senate will be, plus the grown ups are in the senate
he’s getting blocked?
that’s not surprising at all.
@VOTE Republican Because that is BS and there is no evidence for it. Please cite your source that supports your claims.
Ke’J Reed No, he’s being investigated.
Blocked is something that he will be praying for soon.
@Einstein You. Are. A. Conspiracy. Moron. Shut. Up.
+@Jsee66
I wish +VOTE Republican was wrong, but he’s spot on.
Dr. Fauci with the help from the NIAID funded $7.4M to research Corona Viruses in bats from 2014-2019. *FACT
Below is a definitive article to back my claim. So next time +Jsee66 fact check before making ignorant statements.

@VOTE Republican okay crazy lol
“A little bit political” that’s an understatement
Mei -mei Yet here you are, watching it. Weird, huh?
Deafarcher I mean saying “a little bit political” is biased- the news downplaying very serious things as usual
@Mei -mei oh ok
Mei -mei You’ve got everyone laughing 😐
@Mei -mei
No, I think that’s actually an attempt to be less biased, because there’s no other way you can look at this.
This WH is an absolute joke.
And how many administrations before the current one were not jokes?
Jaimee Foxworth – I cant speak before 1900, but after that, ONE (Nixon). But even he was 10x smarter than this fool in office right now. So don’t try to normalize it by saying there were plenty of past administrations that were jokes bc NONE were as incompetent as Trump.
@GHN1013 lol Trump has survived a non stop onslaught for nearly 4 years now . He defeated 15 gop knuckleheads and THE most corrupt politician the United States has seen in the last 50 years .
He routinely makes the media look like idiots and WILL BE re elected in 2020 .
Allowed? I’m surprised they don’t put a Shock Collar on Him..😱
America: the only place a virus killing everyone is made political and racial
What? So your somehow triggered from the rumbling behind the reporter?
David Miorgan I’m not triggered one bit it’s just funny how even a virus can be politicized.
@Nathaniel Cava Thank your national and local democrats .
j s tell me about it. I live in Pennsylvania and our governor despite certain areas meeting the requirements to move into the “yellow” category from red for covid cases refuses to change their standing because of the fact they lean more toward the republican side.
@Nathaniel Cava The states and cities with the most severe restrictions are run by democrats . Bar none . They will keep the country , state , city closed as long as they possibly can . The question is why ?
Kim, Putin and Xi would be so proud of the Dotard. They would say: “You’ve learned well, my boy”.
