Disgraced former National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Anthony Fauci stopped by CBS’s The Late Show on Monday to promote his modern book (the name of which I will not mention here) and, of course, to try to rewrite the history of the COVID pandemic and throw a pathetic pity party for himself.
I mean, I thought the COVID Gnome™ was going to cry when he complained to host Stephen Colbert about the “hostility” he was facing from evil Donald Trump and the equally evil Republican Party as a whole.

Colbert sensed that his notorious liar was suffering inside [heavy sarcasm], hastened to condemn…wait for it… “the politicization of science.”
The politicization of science is risky, but it’s nothing modern. It’s happened in the past. You’ve dealt with it in the past. Have you ever experienced anything like what you’re experiencing now? Because just a few days ago, your testimony in Washington, DC, made headlines because of the hostility you faced.
Fauci, of course, agreed: “Yes.” Sniff, sniff. Tissues, anyone?
Colbert made an even bigger fool of himself by drooling over the extremely arrogant guy who once famously said: “I am science.” Drooling aside, Fauci should be indicted, tried, convicted, and thrown in federal prison. Yet here is Colbert:
Despite your long and eventful career and your contacts with all these politicians, does this seem like something new to you?
Then Fauci showed – once again – his true, smug and unrepentant face.
Pretty new and worrying. When I became director of the institute, almost 40 years ago, there was always politics in the beginning. People with different ideologies.
There was centre, centre-left and centre-right. They disagreed and sometimes argued, but in the end there was civility and mutual respect. What we are saying now is what you mentioned, Stephen, which is spite and pure hostility.
So I was questioned very harshly and persistently, perhaps in other governments as well. But at the end of the hearing they came to me and said: “Good work. We are sorry that we had to be so harsh in our questioning, but we want to get to the point.”
This is a pure attack which, in my opinion, reflects the deep divisions in the country and is very destructive.
Unbelievable – but not.
I don’t know if this man has ice water or antifreeze running through his veins, but given the overwhelming evidence that he made decisions and recommendations before and during the pandemic that needlessly harmed countless families across America, I have to admit that he did.
But Fauci feels sorry for himself Because He was attacked. Because He faced well-deserved hostility. Who the hell do that? Except people like Fauci, I mean.

There must be a “special place” for people like Anthony Fauci, if you know what I mean.
Finally, Colbert asked Fauci about a specific chapter in his book. Yes, I have no interest in writing about it, but I will include a comment from Fauci that is actually amusing – although not for the reason he thought.
It was highly unusual for me to work in the White House and for the communications people there to do opposition research to tell the public that I’m usually wrong about what I say. It’s kind of weird.

Two peas in a pod. I love it.
The conclusion
You could hold Anthony Fauci over an open fire and he would never – NEVER – admit what he did or did not do or is responsible for during the so-called “pandemic.”
Why not? Pride. False prideAnd America paid for it.
