In reply to the discussion: why was Dr. Fauci pardoned? What did he do wrong? [View all]Eugene
(65,055 posts)19. Empty Greene and other right wingers called for Fauci to be tried for vaguely specified "crimes against humanity."
Those "crimes" include damaging the economy by recommending lockdowns.
Marge also accuses home of causing literally millions of deaths (without evidence of course).
The far fringe also accuses him of covering for China among other claims
from the Q-adjacent fever swamp.
The pardon cuts both ways. It heads off a witch hunt, but it also gives
the crazies something to point out.
EDIT: (I almost forgot). The MAGA nuts have also tried to scapegoat Fauci for the "bungled"
COVID response continued by the Biden administration.

Nothing, but pardoning him keeps trump from making good on threatening him and others. All for the pardons.

Well, thank you for your kind remark. You are helping show how we are kinder, gentler people than the Republicans.

No one has to do anything wrong to be targetted by the trump administration.
Think. Again.

There is a Qanon & Maga Conspiracy theory that he helped the Chinese to create COVID.

I read he was grateful for it and thanked Biden. He was a particular target of MAGA and I think he was worried.
