GB News star Bev Turner says watching US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci’s intense questioning from Republican lawmakers over his Covid measures was an “incredibly satisfying” experience.
It was the first public appearance by Fauci since he left his White House advisory role in 2022.
He was subject to a great deal of scrutiny and rejected allegations that he tried to hide information about the virus’s origins.
Speaking on GBN America, Bev told Phil Kerpen, the President of American Commitment, that she watched the full grilling.
“This is frankly, pornography”, she said.
“I’ve watched the full two and a half hours and I think I was one of the few people in the UK to do that.
“It was incredibly satisfying. I can’t lie.”
Before lawmakers earlier this week, Dr Fauci disputed suggestions there was any attempt to cover up evidence about the virus’s origins.
He told the subcommittee: "It is inconceivable that anyone who reads this email could conclude that I was trying to cover up the possibility of a laboratory leak."
During the heated hearing, Republicans pressed Dr Fauci on allegations that he used his personal email to conduct official business, which he denied.
He was also grilled on the measures imposed after his advice, including social distancing of six-feet.
Bev said on GBN America that the rule was seemingly “plucked from thin air”.
“This was taken as gospel, as if it was scientific fact”, she said.
“Surely there was some practical, empirical evidence behind this?
“The reason that we all avoided all natural human instincts to be close to other people, and it seemed to have been plucked out of thin air.”
Kerpen waded in to comment: “It’s incredible, nobody seems to know where the six feet rule came from.
“The UK and the US are the only countries in the world that did the six feet. The World Health Organisation was saying one meter.
“We essentially doubled it and nobody seems to know why. It’s very strange and it’s not a minor point, this had enormous consequences, especially for schools.
“A lot of cities in the US took out their measuring tape and they said all the desks need to be six feet apart, and we can only fit half of the kids.”
