Anthony Fauci didn't stick around very long when a reporter tried to ask him a couple of obvious questions.
Just days after pleading the Fifth more than 100 times during a heated Senate hearing, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director was caught on camera outside his home making a rather hasty exit.
Fox News Digital correspondent Nicholas Ballasy pressed him on whether he had any regrets about his COVID-era decisions and his repeated refusal to answer lawmakers under oath.
For a guy who spent years during the pandemic being an absolute attention whore, he sure doesn't seem to like the spotlight any longer. The same man who once lectured the country on what they could and could not do on a daily basis now seems determined to avoid even basic questions about his record.
Watch the weasel skedaddle back into his home instead of answering to the public.

RFK Catches Something in the Fauci Diaries That Should Make Your Blood Boil: ‘He Never Told Anybody’
You can just see the diary entry now:
7/31/2026
09:17 AM - Spoke to police officer. Had to use a milk crate to get high enough reach his window. Curse these garden gnome-sized getaway sticks.
10:13 AM - Confronted by reporter. Couldn't speak on advice of counsel, so ran inside and stared at myself in a mirror for 30 minutes. Repeatedly made heart hand gestures. Feel better now, but why doesn't everybody love me?
11:14 AM - Depression-ate four Klondike Bars.
Hard to believe this weapons-grade jackwagon once considered himself "tHe sCIeNcE."
"The Science," at least as I always believed growing up, was interested in finding answers to unsolved questions. Not covering up the answers in an effort to get love from gullible rubes.
Normally, I wouldn't advocate for reporters harassing people outside their home, but if anybody deserves the unwanted attention, it's Anthony Freaking Fauci. Especially when you recall he liked to go door to door to shame people into taking an experimental vaccine while they were sheltered in their homes under his orders.
FLASHBACK: A D.C. resident refused Fauci's COVID vaccine pitch right to his face during a 2021 door-to-door campaign — and the resurfaced video is going viral amid Wednesday's tense congressional hearing on the pandemic response.

The chickens are coming home to roost, sir.
(Side note - Why is he talking to law enforcement in a Metropolitan Police D.C. SUV? Is he getting protection from them, and if so, who is paying for it? He's free to pay for private security. He’s certainly made a pretty penny off his role pretending to be a public hero and can afford such protection.)
Fauci running away from questioning follows other images that have surfaced since his "testimony" before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee this week.
As RedState’s Nick Arama reported, Fauci was overheard still seething about being “shouted at” during the hearing, suggesting the confrontation on Capitol Hill had left a mark.

Poor fella.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voiced no sympathy for Fauci, telling him to "Walk it off."
Paul has scheduled a contempt vote before the Committee next week. Let's hope it results in Fauci dropping more f-bombs. He won't be able to hide this time. He shouldn't be able to.
