The White House is under fire after Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shut down reporters asking outgoing chief medical adviser Dr. Fauci about the origins of COVID during a heated briefing.
During her first interview as a Fox News contributor, Tulsi Gabbard joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Tuesday to discuss the fiery exchange and how she believes Fauci has endangered Americans through his deceit during the pandemic.
“We can’t deny the danger that he has created for the American people, not only with regard to his refusal to answer questions about the origins of COVID and gain of function research, and how it is very likely continuing on that we are paying for, but also the other big lies that he’s continued to propagate, even in his press conference today about masks,” Gabbard told Tucker Carlson Tuesday.

“He’s telling people ‘mask up,’ knowing full well that when people hear that, they’re going to throw on a cloth mask or a mask like the one he’s wearing in that picture that you’re showing or paper mask, knowing that they don’t do anything to prevent someone from getting COVID or spreading COVID,” she continued. “They continue to lie to the American people, and it’s putting the American people at risk.”
During a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Daily Caller White House correspondent Diana Glebova tried to ask Fauci about the origins of COVID, but Jean-Pierre quickly shut her down.
“We have a process here. I’m not calling out on people who yell. And you’re being … disrespectful to your colleagues, and you’re being disrespectful to our guest,” Jean-Pierre said. “I will not call on you if you yell, and also you’re taking time off the clock because Dr. Fauci has to leave in a couple of minutes.”
When Glebova objected, Jean-Pierre said she was “done” and was “not getting into a back-and-forth with you.”
