While we have been covering the Anthony Fauci story now for years and the folks who have been reading this website are very well versed on the issues, there's still a significant part of the population that isn't aware of all the problems. So Congressional hearings and greater sunlight in the media can help to put it out there more to people who might not otherwise get it.
Mockery and trolling can help shine a little more light on the issue for new eyes.

The Philadelphia Eagles had a press conference on Thursday. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was asked, "What's the plan at safety?" His response trolled Fauci.

“I’m gonna be like Fauci and just take the Fifth Amendment on all questions. Did you guys see that? Oh my god.” 😅 https://t.co/RWufeZV4Gj pic.twitter.com/wEbzo8ZX4s
"What's the plan at safety?" Fangio was asked.
"I'm gonna be like Fauci and just take the Fifth Amendment on questions," he responded. "Did you guys see that? Oh my god. What was the question?"
Unlike Fauci, Fangio did eventually answer the question reporters were asking.
But Fauci came up again as the reporters continued to grill Fangio.
“He Fauci’d you?”

Fangio was asked if there have been any conversations about bringing Brandon Graham back, given the injury to the newly-acquired Jonathan Greenard.
"You guys had Howie [Roseman] up here yesterday, you should've asked him that," Fangio said.
The reporter said that question was asked.
Fangio saw the opportunity to crack another joke and promptly responded, "And what did he say? He ducked you? He Fauci'd you?"
As we reported, Fauci ducked the questions from the Senate Homeland Security Committee, taking the Fifth over 100 times. But that didn't stop the lawmakers from laying into him for his actions during the COVID pandemic.

Most people thought Fangio's troll was great.
Journalist and sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya weighed in.

This all helps break down the sanctification of Fauci that the Left and liberal media promoted toward some sense of reality.
Local news guy enjoyed it.

However, leftists were melting down that Fangio dared to mention Fauci's scrambling.
Shocking. A Philadelphia sports team has a cretinous MAGA slob in a critical position https://t.co/h1zUufBSf8
