New Report Exposes Fauci’s Vulgar Public Outburst Hours After Senate Hearing
A Washington, D.C. sidewalk became the unlikely stage for Anthony Fauci‘s unraveling composure this week, as a simple evening stroll turned into a profanity-laced release valve following a grueling day on Capitol Hill.
The New York Post broke the story, documenting Fauci’s Wednesday evening walk with his wife, Christine Grady, shortly after he left a heated Senate hearing.
Cameras caught the moment Fauci “dropped an f-bomb” while grumbling about someone who had shouted at him earlier that day, the outlet reported.
Fauci gripped his phone in his left hand throughout the walk, and photographers could not determine whether he directed his comments toward Grady or someone on the other end of a call.
Hours earlier, a far more controlled version of Fauci sat before Sen. Rand Paul‘s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where he invoked his Fifth Amendment protections again and again rather than answer lawmakers’ questions.
That silence came even though Fauci already holds a preemptive pardon, granted by Joe Biden before he exited the presidency.
The stonewalling did not sit well with Paul, who threatened Fauci with consequences for his refusal to cooperate with the panel.
Tension in the hearing room escalated further when Paul accused one of Fauci’s attorneys of disrupting proceedings, a claim serious enough that the senator ordered security to physically remove the lawyer.
Paul was far from the lone antagonist that day. Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno each took turns grilling the former health official, layering additional pressure onto an already combative hearing.
Moreno matched Fauci’s own after-hours slip with one of his own, cursing during the exchange and later posting footage of the moment to X, where his caption carried the same unfiltered tone.
Viewers seeking out that clip should brace for explicit language, as the post itself carries a warning.
Paul’s pursuit of Fauci did not begin this week. He has spent months building a case that Fauci orchestrated a cover-up surrounding COVID-19’s origins.
That campaign gained fresh ammunition last month when Tulsi Gabbard, in her closing act as Director of National Intelligence, declassified documents alleging Fauci steered the intelligence community toward spreading “lies, disinformation, and censorship.”
Gabbard tied that alleged campaign to a specific motive: shielding the fact that Fauci had “provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
Just days before the Senate hearing, Paul’s committee dropped another bombshell — Fauci’s personal COVID-era diary, pulled from Health and Human Services Department servers.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. located the diary and forwarded it to Paul’s committee, according to reporting from the Washington Examiner.
Inside its pages, Fauci chronicled his private thoughts on the pandemic almost daily, offering a window into his mindset as the crisis unfolded in real time.
Those private musings frequently clashed with the messaging Fauci delivered publicly at the same moments, and he devoted considerable space to reflecting on his own celebrity status and newfound access to famous figures.
Kennedy Jr. revealed one especially striking entry: a reference to a possible “adverse event” Fauci suffered after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
That detail never reached the public, even as Fauci continued championing the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness in his official capacity.
Paul has already signaled what comes next, confirming his committee will hold a contempt vote against Fauci in the coming week.
Fauci’s private slip is hardly unprecedented among the story’s key figures — Moreno cursed on camera, and President Donald Trump has done the same in public settings on more than one occasion.
Whether the sidewalk outburst factors into the committee’s contempt deliberations remains unknown, but it adds a colorful footnote to a week already dominated by Fauci’s silence under oath.
For now, Paul’s committee presses forward, with next week’s vote poised to determine whether Fauci’s refusal to answer will carry formal consequences.
