At the Turning Point Action conference on Saturday, controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) vowed to send Dr. Anthony Fauci to prison for his Covid-19 response. Speaking at the conference in Detroit, Greene accused Fauci of “crimes against humanity.” Greene’s words led to the crowd chanting, “Lock him up.”
“I’ll never forget when the administration and the speaker of the House brought in nearly 30,000 National Guardsmen and turned our Capitol complex into a military base,” Greene said. “They masked schoolchildren. They shut down schools. They closed beaches. They silenced your speech.”
“They attacked the very core of our freedoms, all for a virus that they made in a lab in Wuhan, China,” Greene added. “And yes, Dr. Anthony Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity.”
Although Greene criticized the current administration, the previous administration was in office at the pandemic’s height in 2020. The former president carried out Operation Warp Speed to accelerate the development of a Covid-19 vaccine.
The former president has taken credit for his pandemic response efforts numerous times in the past. The National Guardsmen that Green mentioned were also sent in response to the January 6 Capitol storming, not for Covid-19.
At the start of June, Greene was slammed by Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) for refusing to call Fauci “doctor,” referring to him as “Mr. Fauci” in her remarks. At the same committee hearing, Greene also said Fauci “belongs in prison.”
Last month, Greene posed in a bikini for her 50th birthday after her body was described as “butch” by a Democratic representative.
