Jim Jordan Calls For ‘More Truck Drivers, Less Fauci’

In a tweet today, U.S. House Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) took a swipe at Dr. Anthony Fauci, while promoting the truck driver profession and the Canadian “Freedom Convoy.”

The tweet comes after Jordan gave an extensive interview to Mark Levin that aired last night on his Fox News show, “Life, Liberty, & Levin.”

Jordan called for “More truck drivers. Less Fauci.”

More truck drivers. Less Fauci.

Prior to Jordan’s tweet, the New York Times published a piece that claimed in the title, “Republicans, Wooing Trump Voters, Make Fauci Their Boogeyman.”

The Republican war on Fauci is partly a sign of Trump’s strong grip on the party and a symbol of the deep schism in the country, mistrust in government, and a brewing populist resentment of the elites, all made worse by the pandemic, the Times insisted.

Republican strategist Whit Ayres said that “Populism is essentially anti: anti-establishment, anti-expertise, anti-intellectual and anti-media.”

Fauci “is an establishment expert intellectual who is in the media,” Ayres explained,

Another strategist, John Feehery, said many pandemic-weary Americans viewed Fauci as “Mr. Lockdown,” and it made sense for Republicans “to run against both Fauci and lockdowns.”

Here at Media Right News, we have documented how Fauci has had an effect on how Americans have celebrated the holidays, especially Democrats, who appear to be most likely to take his advice.

The Times article mentioned Jordan towards the end where they noted that he believes that Fauci knew the coronavirus “came from a lab,” has vowed that Republicans will investigate him if they win control of the House.

While some of Fauci’s friends are urging him to retire to avoid such an investigation, he remains defiant and has said, “I can’t think of what they would want to investigate except this whole pile of lies that they’re throwing around.”
