During a recent congressional session, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called for a criminal referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci, accusing him of "crimes against humanity." Greene's remarks were marked by her refusal to address Fauci by his professional title, instead calling him "Mr. Fauci." She criticized Fauci for not wearing a mask at a baseball game, referring to a photo as evidence of what she termed his “repulsive, evil science.” Greene also suggested that Fauci's medical license should be revoked and that he should be imprisoned.
Her conduct sparked objections from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), whom Greene also addressed without his title, calling him “Mr. Raskin.” Subcommittee Chair Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) had to intervene, reminding Greene of the need to adhere to standards of decorum within the chamber, loudly instructing her to suspend her remarks. Fauci was not given an opportunity to respond to Greene's accusations during this exchange.
