During a press conference on July 30, 2026, Philadelphia Eagles coach Vic Fangio referenced Anthony Fauci's recent Senate hearing. Fangio jokingly stated, "I'm going to be like Fauci and just take the Fifth Amendment on your question," in response to a reporter's inquiry. He noted that Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times during his testimony before the Senate's government oversight committee, which was chaired by Senator Rand Paul. Paul has accused Fauci of covering up the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and has called for his imprisonment. Fangio expressed a lack of impression regarding Fauci's performance during the hearing, indicating that he was interested in the highlights rather than watching the entire session. He also made a playful remark comparing a previous question directed at Eagles executive vice president Howie Roseman to Fauci's evasiveness.
