Attacking the person is completely different than attacking the argument.

I'm from Denmark and when Fauci was on screen many around the world was listening. Seeing how "politicians" has been treating him is shameful, which has also been seen around the world!

What a great personality! Thank you for your efforts!

[askthepizzaguy]

Science is not political, but denying science is political.

Putting Dr Fauci thru that hearing and subjecting him to MTG was just embarrassing and not at all how most of the country feels

[earthknight]

He could easily pass for an alert and healthy 60. That he is 83 is impressive.

[marvinmartin]

It was completely disgusting what republicans put him through! Especially greene! If he would’ve been listened to perhaps a million people would still be with us!

[danielhogue]

Dude looks so good for 83. If I'm as healthy as him at his age I would be thrilled!

[blipmachine]

Good to see Fauci still standing strong after all the hell he's been put through, simply for doing his job through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and saving hundreds of thousands of American lives in the process.

Thank you for a lifetime of service, Dr. Fauci!! 💙💙

[joym.]

The Republicans owe this wonderful man a massive apology. They won’t but that does not mean they don’t owe it.

Anthony Fauci is an American and international hero for his work and advice over the course of the Covid 19 pandemic. He should be honoured and history will remember him fondly. May he live a long and happy life. Thank you good sir.

Glad to see Colbert and Dr. Fauci presenting intelligence and level-headed conversation. The rest of the world needs to know there is still plenty of good will and sanity in the States!

Science has always been at war with ignorance.

[jori]

Pure admiration for you Dr. Fauci! Your temeperament and good sense during the Covid pandemic is very much appreciated....

[camelsheit_on_the_walls]

Thanks, Colbert, for having Fauci on.
And thank you both for discussing this quite imperative topic.

[newnewhutchison]

That Man has saved millions of people lives in his career and treated like shit from a uneduated MTG

[magnetiktrax]

You spend your life in public service learning new science and helping to advise governments, only to have a CrossFit instructor and call for you to be jailed for "crimes against humanity". What a joke the US has become.

[Maribel-qy]

mtg who does not know what a petri dish is (peach tree dish) has the audacity to argue and question a PhD in epidemiology! Alas!

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is a good as your knowledge.”
