Dr. Anthony Fauci beamed with delight Thursday as he collected flowers from an admirer placed on the front steps of his $2.4 million Washington, DC home, less than a day after a jaw-dropping hearing where Republican senators took him out to the woodshed.
Fauci grinned like a gold-medal ice skater, wearing a red t-shirt, charcoal cargo pants and a pair of Hush Puppies as he clutched the bouquet of yellow flowers, which had been adorned with a hand-written note reading “we [heart] you Dr. Fauci!”

Fauci, 85, invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday as Senate Republicans peppered him with pointed questions about the COVID-19 pandemic, in which he was a key figure.

After his disastrous performance at the hearing, Fauci took in the air with his wife, Christine Grady, on a walk around the couple’s posh DC neighborhood, and was overheard grousing that someone was “shouting at me.”
The good doctor, clad in shorts and a Georgetown University “IronMed 5K” t-shirt, even let an F-bomb fly as he awkwardly fumbled with his phone, visibly frustrated by the apparent attention.
