Rachel Maddow uses examples from Dr. Anthony Fauci's new book and the fact that Trump Republicans are still busy trying to persecute Fauci despite his heroic role in navigating deadly pandemics to illustrate the authoritarian bent of the Republican Party in the Trump era that cannot accept a voice of authority or expertise that outshines their leader.

  • The ironic part is the doctor who served multiple president democrat and republican, have no problem with him before trump came in.
  • @btcrazee1
    Of course they have a war on expertise; they don’t want people to know the truth. Only their spin. MTG should be in prison. And her cohorts.
  • Marjorie Greene needs to be held Accountable for her part in the Insurrection!!!😡😡😡
  • @EmilyBltz
    The ignorance is frightening. Someone that uninformed in charge. What a freaking joke.
  • @crimson7572
    When it comes to your health, why would you trust any politician over a medical doctor?
  • @TheCs33157
    Public Service has become hazardous duty.
  • @TygerBleuToo
    My mom was a PBX operator at a hospital. She received calls from people who wanted to know if swallowing bleach was ok. The ER received several patients who became ill from actually swallowing bleach. It's amazing to me that the same types of folks refused common sense solutions like social distancing, wearing masks, and getting the vaccine.
  • MTG should be sued for defamation, character assassination,bullying and perjury .
  • @Wolfboss7
    It's both amazing, and utterly disgusting that the same expertise that puts America on the cutting edge of scientific progress is also so reviled by one half of the country. Unsurprisingly though, it's also the dumbest half that'll follow a conman off a cliff.
  • We cannot let Donald j Trump anywhere near the Whitehouse,period.
  • We need to all come out and VOTE. Get your family and friends to VOTE. VOTE President Biden 2024. VOTE Blue 💙 🗳 ☑️ 💙
  • @BooksForever
    Accused of “crimes against humanity” by the same folks who downplayed the pandemic by saying the effects were less than a common cold. How do they reconcile those two positions?
  • @vrusimov
    That is why I have absolutely no empathy or sympathy for Alex Jones. He has EARNED what he has sewn over too many years. If they take every nickel from him now AND in the future, I couldn't care less. But I sincerely hope that they do.

    Deeply impressed with the way Rachel is presenting this crucial point, which indirectly also touches on the single most important issue in the US, EDUCATION!!! The way Dr.Fauci is being treated by the dumbest loudmouths in the GOP and their nitwit followers brought tears to my eyes. Even basic respect is not one of their social skills. Dear Rachel Maddow, please continue to make these intelligent analyses about what's going on in the US in this our lifetime!
  • I am so desperately sorry Dr. Whenever you spoke during the pandemic I was so grateful for you council.
  • My Sister dued of COVID. How can MTG say that it was a Hoax? She doesn't deserve to be reresenting anybody with a common sense.
