This week hasn’t gone well for Anthony Fauci, and his wife has unleashed her emotions, brandishing an obscene gesture at a photographer stationed in Washington to follow the news of events.
The New York Post captured the image (Be forewarned about its offensive nature):

“The tyrant gene is strong in this family, isn’t it?” charged a commentary at RedState.
It was the New York Post that confirmed Fauci was looking “downright miserable” after a Senate committee voted to hold him in contempt for refusing to answer questions about his advisory work for Joe Biden on the COVID-19 China virus pandemic.
There are questions about why he was giving the public instructions about masking, its source, social distancing, the shots, and more, that conflicted with his own opinions recorded in a personal diary kept on a government computer. There further are questions about whether he personally profited from the pandemic.
The report said hours after the vote, a “sullen-looking” Fauci was seen wheeling a recycling bin to the curb in front of a $2.4 million Washington home she shares with wife, Christine Grady.
He then hopped in the passenger seat of a vehicle she was driving away.
“Grady, apparently enraged by the photographer’s presence in their tony neighborhood, flipped off the camera before peeling off,” the report said.
It was members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee who voted 8-5 to hold Fauci, formerly of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt of Congress.
After getting a pardon from Joe Biden for his actions at that time, he still invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination more than 100 times as senators asked him questions.
Republicans charged he had no right to cite the Fifth Amendment because of the pardon and his opening statement in which he lobbied for himself.
Meanwhile, three state attorneys general already have begun investigations, and subpoenaed him as part of their work. Biden’s pardon does not protect Fauci from state charges.
RedState pointed out that Grady previously was part of the COVID-19 messaging, when she said nurses who refused the shots mandated by her husband could lose their job.
During the pandemic Fauci’s bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, offered nurses a choice: Get vaccinated, or lose your job.
Yesterday, she was offered a choice: Transfer to an office in Alaska, or lose your job.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who chaired the committee delivering the citation against Fauci, reponded:
Is that how you plead the fifth in sign language? https://t.co/XQQJhv7SRl
