Political commentator Megyn Kelly sounded off on comments recently made by Dr. Anthony Fauci over whether he’d entertain a congressional subpoena in 2023, with Kelly saying “fuck you” to the notion that Fauci thinks he can dodge subpoenas if he feels like it.

In the wake of Fauci’s announcement from earlier in August about him stepping down from his roles at the NIAID and the White House, numerous speculations have circulated through the media – as well as being mentioned by sitting members of Congress – that Fauci may get get hit with a congressional subpoena in 2023.

Even Newsweek is reporting that “if Republicans retake either chamber of Congress they will be in a position to call Fauci to testify regardless of the fact he’ll have left his current job.”

With these speculations swirling about, Fauci reportedly addressed the possibility of being subpoenaed after his retirement – saying that he would “consider” appearing before Congress were he to be subpoenaed by a GOP majority post midterms.

In an August episode of Kelly’s podcast, she blasted Fauci’s cavalier approach to possibly being subpoenaed, noting that the precedent has been set with Steve Bannon’s recent court troubles with ignoring subpoenas – delivering a sort of ‘if it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander’ take on the matter.

“He sounds like he’s been invited for afternoon tea at one of our houses, ‘I will consider it.’ I’ll consider it only if it is oversight because what I experienced was personal attacks. I will go if it’s…fuck you, Dr. Fauci. You don’t get to say whether you go. You get a congressional subpoena, you show up, or you get the Steve Bannon treatment.”

Needless to say, Fauci can undoubtedly expect to get hit with a congressional subpoena in 2023 if projections are accurate on Republicans taking back the House and/or Senate.

Republican Rep. James Comer has already guaranteed the aforementioned will move forward, per an August 22nd press release in the wake of Fauci announcing his retirement.

“Retirement can’t shield Dr. Fauci from congressional oversight. Emails obtained by Oversight Committee Republicans reveal what Dr. Fauci said publicly about COVID origins was very different than what was said privately. Dr. Fauci was warned by top scientists early on that the virus looked genetically manipulated and likely leaked from the Wuhan lab. Despite these facts, Dr. Fauci dismissed these ideas in public as conspiracy theories.

“We need to know if Dr. Fauci concealed anything from government officials in order to shield the NIH’s cozy relationship with EcoHealth Alliance, a grantee that awarded taxpayer funds to the Wuhan lab to conduct dangerous research on bat coronaviruses. The American people deserve transparency and accountability about how government officials used their taxpayer dollars, and Oversight Committee Republicans will deliver.”
