A Monday hearing became contentious when Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refused to call Dr. Anthony Fauci a doctor.

WATCH this fiery exchange:
Mr. Fauci, you were quoted on CBS ‘Face the Nation’ saying, ‘it’s easy to criticize, but they’re really criticizing science, because I represent science. Do you represent science, Mr. Fauci?
Fauci declined to give a yes or no answer, leading to a clash, but he asserted he is a scientist.
Greene then brought up how NIAID, under Fauci, directed $424,455 to researchers at the University of Georgia in September 2020 to infect dozens of beagles with disease-causing parasites in order to test an experimental drug on them, according to documents obtained by White Coat Waste Project (WCW) and reviewed by the Daily Caller.
Greene said:
I want to tell you this is disgusting and evil, what you signed off on and these experiments that happened to beagles paid for by the American taxpayer, and I want you to know Americans don’t pay their taxes for animals to be tortured like this, so this type of science that you are representing, Mr. Fauci, is abhorrent and it needs to stop.
She added:
You’re not doctor you’re Mr. Fauci.
Communist/Globalist Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland objected to Greene over not calling Fauci a doctor, with Greene protesting.
Raskin asked:
In terms of the rules of decorum, are we allowed to deny that a doctor is a doctor just because we don’t want him to be a doctor?
Greene said:
Yes, because in my time, that man does not deserve to have a license. As a matter of fact, it should be revoked and he belongs in prison.
The hearing then delved into contentiousness with representatives saying Greene’s questioning was inappropriate and violated rules, however, she was allowed to continue.
Greene was told to call Fauci by his title.
She concluded:
You belong in prison, Dr. Fauci.
