BREAKING: TMZ's Harvey Levin releases a viral and deeply moving defense of "amazing public servant" Dr. Fauci and calls the MAGA attacks on him "one of the most heartbreaking things" he’s ever witnessed in government.
This is truly a must-read...
"I have not used TMZ's YouTube channel to vent personal feelings about issues, but I'm going to do that today," Levin said. "Watching Anthony Fauci before a congressional hearing taking the Fifth Amendment is just one of the most heartbreaking things I have seen in government in my lifetime. And this is something we need to reckon with."
"I'm going to say up front, I have problems with the way the CDC handled COVID," he continued. "I think that they did damage to children, to adults, and I don't think they did it maliciously. I think they did it because they were using their judgment and were overprotective, and I think at times overstated things, things they said they knew but really didn't. And I have personal problems with the way that COVID was handled."
"That said, Anthony Fauci, over a period of decades, has been an amazing public servant. In the 80s, I had many friends who died of AIDS, a horrible, painful death. And I had friends who lived because of Anthony Fauci, because he was willing to look at experimental drugs in a different way than they had looked at them before, and that really resulted in lives saved."
"And he has done so many other things in his career to thwart epidemics, to save lives, not just in the United States, but all over the world."
"He has been a dedicated public servant who could have made a lot more money outside of government than inside, but he stayed."
"And now we are at a point where members of Congress, and yes, you, Rand Paul, are on a witch hunt. And the best I can say for Rand Paul is that he's being really honest. I mean, he has said now, over a period of years, he wants Anthony Fauci in a jail cell. He has said it out loud. He wants him in a jail cell. That's the point of this hearing. That's why they're doing this."
"They want to take something that Anthony Fauci says and then claim it amounts to perjury, and they want to prosecute him, they want to convict him, and they want to throw him in prison. That's the point of this hearing. There is no other point of this hearing."
"There could be. I mean, there are things they could certainly ask him, but he can't answer, because if he answers, it doesn't matter what he says. You know, if you can prosecute somebody for frickin' seashells on the beach shore, then you could certainly prosecute somebody for what they say in a congressional hearing."
"And that's the climate we're in. We are in a Senator Joseph McCarthy climate, where there is such fear that people have, and legitimate fear, that they'll end up in prison for what they say, no matter what it is, if they are on the wrong side of somebody in Congress or the administration, that they have been silenced. And that's where we are right now."
"We are in Senator Joseph McCarthy territory. And the idea that you have to watch this man take the Fifth Amendment, and again, I will say that I disagree personally with some of the CDC decisions. Absolutely, I did. That said, he's a public servant who worked for us and saved lives for decades. And we are turning him into what Rand Paul wants to be, a criminal. And Rand Paul has a political agenda, and it is prevailing here."
"Watching Rand Paul order security to throw Anthony Fauci's lawyer out of that hearing was unbelievable to me."
"We are in a dark period of America," he concluded.
More public figures need to speak out like this immediately. Republicans are scapegoating Fauci because they can't handle the truth that Donald Trump was directly responsible for COVID-19 getting as bad as it did. He downplayed it from the very start, undermined experts, and spread dangerous misinformation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci did everything in his power to save as many lives as possible, urging Americans to wear masks, socially distance, and treat the coronavirus like the deadly threat it was. He's an American hero.
If anyone should be hauled in front of Congress to testify about their behavior during the pandemic, it's Trump.

Our president has been credibly accused of sexually assaulting a child, and his DOJ is hiding those accusations from the public. It is an outrage and a disgrace.
@AGPamBondi must appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump. The victims deserve justice, and the American people deserve to know whether their president is guilty of these heinous accusations.
@TheJusticeDept is failing the survivors and the American people. Shame on them.
For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI’s handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor made against President Donald Trump by a survivor.
Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor.
Covering up direct evidence of a potential assault by the President of the United States is the most serious possible crime in this White House cover up.
NPR investigation finds @TheJusticeDept withheld some Epstein files documents related to allegations that donald trump sexually assaulted a minor.
I guarantee if these files exonerated trump, they would have been released.
@AGPamBondi must resign. And she should be prosecuted.
I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.
Harbouring Impunity…
The Epstein files deepen the case against royal impunity. Despite grave allegations, Andrew remains sheltered on royal estates, while titles are treated as sufficient accountability. This is not ignorance but pre-emption: institutions protect their own before the public ever hears. If “protecting women and girls” means anything, it must begin at the palace. Justice delayed by privilege is justice denied.

“I’ve been betrayed.”
Epstein survivor Anouska DeGeorgiou says the Trump DOJ released unredacted personal information she was compelled to provide for the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, despite assurances survivors would be protected. She is furious at the DOJ and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
@AGPamBondi needs to answer for this!
It’s left survivors feeling unsafe, exposed, and retraumatized.
Who approved this? Why were safeguards ignored?
Meanwhile the DOJ has redacted names of alleged co-conspirators.
🚨“ANYTHING THAT DEPICTS IMAGES OF DEATH PHYSICAL ABUSE OR INJURY NOT PRODUCED”🚨
US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying they are excluded abuse and death.
They weren’t just sexually abusing children, they were killing them, and the US government is still hiding it.
