Fangio opened his press conference with a reference to Fauci\u2019s grilling on Capitol Hill one day prior \u2014 during which the former White House official had repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights \u2014 saying that maybe he shouldn\u2019t have to answer any questions either.<\/p>\n

\u201cVic, what\u2019s the plan at safety?\u201d one reporter asked. \u201cIs that Marcus\u2019 [Epps] job to lose?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna be like Fauci and just take the Fifth Amendment on all questions,\u201d Fangio laughed, as did several around the room. \u201cDid you guys see that? Oh my God.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a brief pause, Fangio took on a slightly more serious tone and asked, \u201cWhat was the question?\u201d<\/p>\n

The room immediately erupted in laughter again as one reporter, feigning outrage, jokingly accused Fangio of having the Fauci jab \u201clined up\u201d as his first response regardless of the question.<\/p>\n

Throughout Wednesday\u2019s hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right in response to every direct question, whether it was a substantive question about the draconian policies he\u2019d foisted on Americans during the COVID pandemic or a simple question about the color of his tie or the rights provided under the Fifth Amendment.<\/p>\n

At one point, under direct questioning from Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Fauci even refused to turn and face the group of people in the gallery who said they had faced ridicule, cancellation, firings, and worse for daring to question the accepted orthodoxy \u2014 largely dictated by Fauci himself \u2014 throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n
