Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd said Thursday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Republicans demonizing National Institutes of Health expert Dr. Anthony Fauci were attacking “science and data.”
Discussing Republican’s demeanor while questioning Fauci at congressional hearings, Burnett said, “This is far from the first time we’ve seen Republicans try to beat up on Dr. Fauci. They love these moments. We saw it from Jim Jordan today and Rand Paul not long ago. That’s how it’s been. Why is the GOP so obsessed with going after Dr. Fauci?”
Dowd said, “Well, I think this is fundamentally about the attack on science and data, and if it doesn’t agree from many of the GOP perspective as science or data or knowledge or information doesn’t agree with basically their emotional stand, they want to ignore it. And I think that’s the problem, I think, Dr. Fauci has here because Dr. Fauci is trying to take a rational approach against people who have an emotional place in this.”
He added, “The idea that this is about liberty and freedom, that somehow wearing masks — I would ask Jim Jordan, does he wear a seatbelt? Did he get his kids vaccinated when they went to school? All of these sorts of things have nothing to do with liberty or freedom, but that’s where we are when we have reason and rationality on one side and emotional reactions and ideology on the other.”

GOP is hopeless bunch of fools...at the federal level...
Explain Fraudouchi’s flipflops
The new definition of “science” and “data” = anything the government says.
Science and Data = Feelings, Emotions and Opinion.
when both sides can frame the other side in exactly the same way, there is no fixing this without a huge bloody fight... it is coming.
‘I would ask Jim Jordan, does he wear a seatbelt?’
yes, because wearing a seatbelt equates to forced bankruptcy and loss of freedom of association...
Judgment is coming. In this life, or the next. But it's coming.
That’s easily dismissed as BS.
Fauci not only admits he lied about masks but was proud of lying about masks to “force people to behave” as he wanted.
is he telling the truth now?
Is he lying now?
What part of that is science and reason?
Dowd is trying to use Scientism to pressure conservatives into never questioning Fauci. Who would’ve believed Maureen’s brother was a sellout to the left this whole time?
When your flip-flopping all over the place every week or every other week, that is NOT ‘science and data,’ DowdIdiot!
Wear masks.
Don’t need to wear masks.
Wear double masks.
Everything is OK after you get vaccine.
Still should wear masks after getting vaccine.
Need I go on and on, DowdIdiot.
Carry your patronizing dumbass back into the hole from whence you crawled from, moronic idiot! ‘Science and data’ my ass!! It’s never been about ‘science and data,’ it’s been about population control, submission, and herd mentality, you know, all in the name of COVID, our fellow men and women, Humanity, etc. Jack ass.
“Former George W. Bush campaign strategist Matthew Dowd ...”
With Republicans like them, the Democrats are almost redundant.
Science this, science that...this is on the same path as global warming, cooling etc. “Science is fact so argument over”.
Nope
Attacking a power hungry little senile troll who flips more often than a flounder.
more from the “let’s take down the TWIN TOWERS” Team.
they should ALL be indicted and Tried.
Exactly how effective is the vaccine Dowd? Give us the science.
Amazing how many vax pushers, here, sound exactly like Dowd.
MSM/CDC plants, perhaps?
Hmmmm.
fauci against masks before he was for them...
is he telling the truth now?
Is he lying now?
Follow the science....He is lying then and now.
