(Screengrab via Comedy Central) The Daily Show turned Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s own commentary against her to mock her antics at Dr. Anthony Fauci’s hearing Wednesday after she was spotted making faces behind him. Ingraham was seated directly behind the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) as he appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee after receiving a subpoena. During the hearing, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights over 100 times and declined to answer lawmakers’ questions. While the hearing centered on the former top health official, social media attention shifted to Ingraham, whose eye-rolling, head-shaking and animated facial expressions became the focus of a segment posted online by The Daily Show.

She continued: “Her little charade for the cameras isn’t just an example of conduct that is boorish and rude, arrogant and rude, always performing for the cameras.” As footage showed Ingraham taking a selfie during the hearing, the segment cut to another past remark: “Taking a selfie like a junior high school girl.” Watch above via X.The post Daily Show Savages Laura Ingraham’s Viral Fauci Hearing Antics With Her Own Words first appeared on Mediaite.

NYU School of Law professor Ryan Goodman warned that Dr. Anthony Fauci’s decision to repeatedly invoke the Fifth Amendment during a combative Senate hearing on Wednesday could leave him in a “worse” position. Fauci, who appeared before a panel led by Republicans accusing him of helping to cause the Covid-19 pandemic and suggesting he profited while Americans died, answered nearly every question by saying: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” Fauci invoked that protection more than 100 times during a hearing that lasted nearly three hours. However, while appearing on CNN’s OutFront with host Erin Burnett on Wednesday evening, Goodman questioned the legal strategy behind Fauci’s repeated refusal to answer questions. “Ryan, 112 times to invoke the Fifth Amendment. I mean, you can’t even string all that together. That obviously sends a message. Will that strategy work? Because he says, ‘Well, I had to do that because, you know, they’re looking for perjury traps’ – or does that just make it worse? And is he in real trouble?” she asked. “I think it makes it worse,” Goodman replied. He continued: “It’s even a curious way in which you wonder what his legal advice was, why they decided to do that, because he does not face criminal jeopardy for the pardon, in all likelihood, he’s pardoned for all actions before January 2025.” “But that also means that you’re forced to testify,” Goodman continued, explaining that prosecutors often rely on immunity or pardons to compel testimony. “So then to plead the Fifth is actually, he could then be held in contempt, there could be, theoretically at least, a Justice Department that goes after him for not answering when he is not really facing criminal charges.” Burnett said Fauci’s explanation that he was avoiding “perjury traps” could prove a difficult sell. “Then, of course, again, to the layperson, it’s the saying, well, why wouldn’t you just say the truth? What would be the problem in that?” she said. “I understand that’s a layperson thing, but it doesn’t sound good.” Watch above via CNN.The post Law Professor on CNN Warns Fauci Pleading the Fifth ‘Makes Things Worse’ for Him first appeared on Mediaite.

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images Missing person posters with Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) face have popped up around Washington, D.C., as the longtime Kentucky politician has been absent from Capitol Hill for roughly seven weeks. The posters feature a smiling McConnell in a hospital bed with the headline: “MISSING PERSON” and his name, along with a description: “84 years old 5’9 FEET TURTLE-LIKE.” Someone put up a missing person poster for Mitch McConnell outside the Senate "If you have any information about his whereabouts please keep it to yourself. He would." pic.twitter.com/FM3NcMEI5V — Save America Movement (@SaveAmericaMvm) July 29, 2026 “Known for: Blocking something in the Senate. Distinguishing feature: Tortoise-like appearance.” “If you have any information about his whereabouts, please keep it to yourself,” the poster reads. “He would.” The prank posters were distributed by the Save America Movement, a political action committee that opposes President Donald Trump, the group told The Independent. “We put those flyers up because this has gotten absurd,” a Save America Movement spokesperson told the outlet. “For more than a month now, the senior senator from Kentucky has not cast a vote, has not appeared for the work of the chamber, and has not, in any provable or functional sense, represented the four-and-a-half million people who sent him there.” The posters popped up as independent journalist Nicholas Ballasy posted video of a senior McConnell aide refusing to answer questions about the senator. “Sen. Mitch McConnell’s Senior Communications Adviser Robert Steurer wouldn’t respond when asked if McConnell will release a video statement,” he wrote alongside a 25-second clip of Steurer walking away from him. McConnell was reportedly found unconscious in his D.C. home on June 14, was taken to the hospital via ambulance, and has not been seen on Capitol Hill since. His office has since released two different photos of the senator as speculation has swirled about his health and debate has raged about his absence — with some Republicans claiming to have spoken to McConnell on the phone, and others insisting on “proof of life.” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) has sent repeated requests that McConnell account to Kentucky voters, but McConnell has kept mum and let Beshear “stew in his own juice,” one veteran journalist told CNN. Al Cross, a longtime Kentucky reporter, said McConnell “is just being a little cranky and pugnacious.”The post Mitch McConnell Missing… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Netanyahu Privately Confronts JD Vance on His Public Criticisms of Israeli Gover...
(Sipa USA via AP/Oliver Contreras) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly confronted Vice President JD Vance over his recent public criticism of Israel’s government during a private meeting in Washington on Tuesday. Speaking to Axios, Israeli and U.S. officials both described the one-on-one meeting at Blair House as candid but “direct,” following months of increasingly public disagreements between the vice president and the Israeli leader over U.S. policy toward Iran. A senior Israeli official told journalist Barak Ravid that Netanyahu addressed Vance’s recent remarks about the Israeli government and Israel’s standing within the Republican Party, calling the meeting “a frank and candid conversation.” A U.S. official’s assessment was similar, noting: “The conversation was direct.” Citing officials, Ravid noted that Netanyahu was frustrated by Vance’s repeated criticism, including accusations that the Israeli prime minister encouraged opposition to the now-defunct U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, which the vice president backed, and had failed to show sufficient loyalty to President Donald Trump. In June, Vance scolded Israeli officials criticizing the Iran agreement, suggesting that they should “not be attacking the only powerful ally” the country has “anywhere left in the entire world.” Netanyahu pushed back on the statement at the time, replying Israel had “many friends.” The vice president later told comedian Joe Rogan, on a podcast released on July 15, that some Israeli officials were attempting to steer the U.S. away from diplomacy with Iran and toward continued conflict. “I definitely think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal. And there was, again, there’s this Time article that came out yesterday — a friend sent it to me — it’s worth reading because it lists a bunch of people who have quite literally been paid by a former Trump campaign person, who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government,” Vance told Rogan. In the same episode, Vance alleged that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had ties to “the highest levels of Israeli intelligence.”The post Netanyahu Privately Confronts JD Vance on His Public Criticisms of Israeli Government first appeared on Mediaite.
