Why is everyone talking about Anthony Fauci and Rand Paul? After a subpoena from Paul, Fauci appeared this morning before a Senate panel where Republicans were demanding answers about a host of COVID-era controversies. The spiciest thing that happened was that Paul had Fauci’s lawyer escorted out of the hearing after he tried to respond to lawmakers when Fauci wouldn’t. It’s also part of a broader effort to get people talking about COVID again ahead of the midterms, where Republicans think it’ll be a winning topic for them. And why did I hear so much about Fauci’s diary this week?
