In front of the entire country, Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment over 100 times during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing as he dodged questions from Senate Republicans about his role in the Biden administration’s COVID policies about masks and vaccines. Naturally, Senate Democrats raised no objections to Fauci’s Fifth Amendment answers.
With Senate Democrats’ embrace of Fauci’s obstruction of accountability now on full display for the American public, we thought it was important to remind the American people about footage of current Democrat Senate candidates running for office in Trump-dominated states who have embraced Dr. Fauci.
The first example is Ohio Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, who appeared on the podcast Skullduggery in 2020 and accused President Trump of holding Dr. Fauci “hostage.” Brown stated in the episode:
“You can watch Dr. Fauci, he looks sometimes like he’s in a hostage video.”
In the same podcast episode, Brown praised then-Ohio Health Director, and now current Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate, Amy Acton, saying:
“One of the things I like about you, (Acton) is you speak your mind.”

It is important to note that Acton has closely tied her gubernatorial campaign to Brown’s Ohio U.S. Senate campaign, even posting Brown’s endorsement on her campaign website.
Acton has also embraced Fauci, once telling NPR:
“Dr. Fauci is also someone I would call a hero.”

Video evidence from the United States Senate shows Sherrod Brown was a firm follower of Dr. Fauci’s masking policies. In 2021, he yelled at Senator Rand Paul for not wearing a mask on the Senate floor. Brown even posted the video of himself yelling at Senator Paul, captioning the moment:
“In a packed Senate chamber with stenographers and colleagues just feet away from him, @RandPaul refuses to put on a mask – and puts the health of everyone around him at risk. This isn’t political. WEAR. A. MASK.”

A year earlier, in 2020, Brown again appeared on Senate video yelling, this time at Alaska U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan, demanding he wear a mask while presiding over the Senate. Brown then ranted about how the Senate was in session and voting on Trump’s nominees, using “public health” in an attempt to stall the Trump agenda.
As with his previous video, Brown posted the clip to his X account with a caption reading:
“Once again, I asked my Republican colleagues to stop endangering all the Senate workers – and simply wear a mask when presiding over the Senate. Once again, they refused.”

Ohio Republican U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno demanded an apology from Dr. Fauci for his mask policies, which resulted in women and children in Ohio getting arrested at high school football games. Instead of apologizing, Fauci pleaded the Fifth.

Before Dr. Fauci entered the United States Senate, Loomer Unleashed asked Fauci to apologize for calling President Trump an “embarrassment”. After Fauci refused to apologize, we told him to his face that he was the actual embarrassment.

Sherrod Brown’s record when it comes to Fauci is horrific, which says a lot given the type of individual Fauci is. It is yet another reason why Ohio voters must reject Brown at the ballot box come November. Accountability means never forgetting the policies politicians willingly chose to support and enforce when they held power. Insanity is defined as repeating the same action over again and expecting a different result.
Ohio voters have a chance to restore sanity and accountability to their state this November by rejecting both Brown and Acton at the ballot box.
