Senator Bernie Moreno, a Republican from Ohio, criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci during a congressional hearing on July 29, 2026. Fauci, who served as President Joe Biden's chief medical advisor, was subpoenaed by Senator Rand Paul as part of an investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and the government's response to the pandemic. Moreno expressed his disapproval of Fauci's guidance during the pandemic, stating that it harmed Americans and led to negative consequences, including arrests for non-compliance with mask mandates. Moreno asked Fauci if he would apologize to the American people, to which Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times during the hearing. Moreno's comments received support from conservative commentators and some Republican officials. Fauci's attorney responded, stating that Moreno was 'completely wrong' in his assertions.
