Jim JordanJames (Jim) Daniel Jordan Democrats debate the timing and wisdom of reparations vote Scarborough blames Jordan for spreading “lies” about Fauci: “It’s pure idiocy” Maxine Waters cuts Jim Jordan and Fauci argues when he hears: “Shut up ” MONTH (R-Ohio) during the heated hearing of the House Supervision and Reform subcommittee on Thursday in which Waters told Jordan to “shut up.”

While appearing on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart,” Waters saw the audience as an opportunity for members of Congress to learn more about Fauci’s ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“While he was there and has so much credibility, he was harassed and there was an attempt to shut him down basically by Congressman Jordan,” he added. “We only have a limited time. We only have five minutes each, and he doesn’t respect the chair. He doesn’t respect the other members. He talks with time.”

During the hearing, Jordan and Fauci raised their voices when the Ohio representative accused Fauci of promoting policies that “trampled” on personal liberties. Fauci, in turn, stated that his recommendations had to do with public health and not with personal freedom.

When Jordan’s time expired, he continued talking, causing Waters to tell him: “You have to respect the chair and shut your mouth.”

“I just tried, you know, to intervene in the same way that, to tell him what to say,” Waters told Capehart. “I know I’m different from a lot of politicians, and, you know, I take the opportunity to say what I think needs to be said at a particular time, and that’s what I did.”

Fauci said Sunday that comments and accusations like Jordan’s are “quite frustrating” as they appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I don’t enjoy that kind of confrontation, but I mean, it was very, very clear that he was talking about the freedoms that were being restricted,” Fauci told the host Dana BashDana BashArkansas Gov. says Trump’s “divisive” attacks on Republican Party officials are not “helpful.” China for COVID-19 MORE. “This has nothing to do with freedom, Dana. We are talking about the fact that 560,000 people have died in our country. We are talking about [60,000] up to 70,000 new infections a day. That is the problem. This is a public health issue. It is not a matter of civil liberties. “
