Anthony Fauci testifies Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Ahead of it, Chairman Rand Paul released Fauci's personal diaries through the committee's reading room, and co-host Robert McNeily walks through what is actually in them.
The picture that comes out is not a public health official under pressure. It is a man tracking his own media coverage. One entry has the press "going wild with me." He notes his front-page write-ups. He describes his own explosive fame. McNeily's read is that Fauci was more focused on being in the media and competing with President Trump than on what two weeks to slow the spread turned into for the rest of the country.
Jenny Beth Martin's response is the heart of this segment. People were dying. Families could not bury their own. The economy was collapsing and business owners were losing companies they never got back. And the man at the center of it was cataloguing his own press. Her verdict: this confirms in his own handwriting what most Americans already suspected while watching him at that podium.
The diaries also matter for what comes next. The question at Wednesday's hearing is whether his private notes and his public statements match.
