(LifeSiteNews) – Speaking just before Thanksgiving, Dr. Anthony Fauci hit back at his critics, particularly Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and former Trump advisor Peter Navarro, saying that those “who weaponize lies are killing people.”

Fauci took particular aim at both Peter Navarro and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
