Nancy Mace Rejects Comparison Between Anthony Fauci Hearing and McCarthyism

Dr. Anthony Fauci isn’t being railroaded like alleged Communist sympathizers during the Joe McCarthy era … so says Rep. Nancy Mace.

The Congresswoman from South Carolina joined us on “TMZ Live” Thursday to discuss the ongoing hearings … and she pushed back on Harvey Levin‘s argument that this is just Red Scare McCarthyism 2.0.

Rep. Mace strongly disagrees … saying Senator McCarthy targeted innocent people in different groups to destroy them — whereas Congress is investigating a man who really did some serious damage.

The DOJ and Senate Republicans aren’t just on some sort of retribution tour on behalf of President Donald Trump, she adds … and she goes a step further … arguing the Justice Department should be looking into others who are part of the swamp.

Rep. Mace and Harvey had a bit of a back-and-forth as well … with Harvey arguing Fauci saved lives … and Mace arguing the CDC’s directives and COVID vaccine did a ton of damage.

Plus, she brings up Fauci’s reliance on the 5th Amendment during his recent hearing … arguing that an innocent man wouldn’t need that, or the pardon Joe Biden issued just before his term ended.

There’s also a discussion about the legitimacy of a pardon signed by autopen — as Mace believes Fauci’s was … and things get heated!!!
