‘Do You See The Inconsistency?’ Jim Jordan Grills Fauci On Protests, Church During Pandemic

Rep. Jim Jordan grilled Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday about the spread of COVID-19, particularly among protesters, and the unequal treatment of protests, churches, and businesses throughout the pandemic.

Jordan (R-OH) asked Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, if he thought the government should crack down on protests similar to how the government has banned churches from congregating or businesses from operating. After admitting that crowds of people increase the chance of spreading the disease, Fauci demurred on whether the government should ban protests.
