Steve Scalise: “There are some doctors who will say this is the way to do it, and there are some doctors who say that is the way to do…”

“There are some doctors who will say this is the way to do it, and there are some doctors who say that is the way to do it. You get 10 attorneys in a room; you might get 10 opinions. The saying ``go get a second opinion,'' that is because maybe not all doctors agree. But when you are President of the United States you don't have the luxury of waiting for every doctor to be in agreement. If there is an inflection point on a decision, and some doctors are over here, and some doctors are over there, guess what, it is the President who has to make that final call, not because he has ignored science, but because he has looked to the science, and ultimately, he has to make that decision. Dr. Fauci himself was in a committee hearing by the Select Subcommittee that the majority whip, Mr. Clyburn, chairs. I am the lead Republican on that committee. We had Dr. Fauci in our committee. I asked him specifically, I went down the line on major decisions that had to be made by this President and whether or not science was used or not and whether or not it worked. I started, by the way, with the decision of whether or not to stop flights from China when we found out after China lied that they, in fact, did have this disease spreading widely in China, and President Trump made that decision to stop flights from China. I know the Democrat nominee for President was against that decision, but President Trump worked with the experts. Dr. Fauci was part of that.…”
