WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci said he didn’t call Sen. Roger Marshall a “moron” during a January congressional hearing — at least not directly.
“I didn’t directly say that to him, I mumbled something to myself under my breath,” said Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser. “That’s a little bit different than publicly calling someone something. That wasn’t meant to be heard.”
The comment came in the middle of a tense exchange during the a hearing held by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
