Dr. Anthony S. Fauci announced yesterday that he will step down in December as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Chief Medical Advisor to Joe Biden.
Biden praised Dr. Fauci’s "unwavering" commitment to his work as well as his "unparalleled spirit, energy, and scientific integrity." He added: "Because of Dr. Fauci’s many contributions to public health, lives here in the United States and around the world have been saved."
Conversely, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Az., tweeted: "Dr. Fauci is conveniently resigning from his position in December before House Republicans have an opportunity to hold him accountable for destroying our country over these past three years."
Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Banks added, "Republicans must remain committed to holding Fauci accountable even after he steps down to make sure no one in his position ever abuses the public trust again."
Criticism of America’s political leaders goes back to our first contested election in 1800, but condemning their followers is something different. I don’t live in the same neighborhood as my president or governor, but I do live in the same neighborhood as some of their supporters.
When we begin rejecting not just our leaders but each other on political, moral, or ideological grounds, our ability to flourish or even function as the "United" States of America is imperiled. |
