Waters told Jonathan Capehart, host of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show,” that she saw Jordan wanting to bully Fauci, adding, “There was an attempt to shut him down by Congressman Jordan.”
“We only have five minutes each. And he does not respect the chair. He does not respect the other members. He’s talking about time, ‘Waters said, accusing Jordan of trying to undermine Fauci and Democrats.
Waters characterized her style as ‘different from many politicians’. In the past, she has come under criticism from Republicans for rhetoric they considered excessive.
“I know, I use the opportunity to say what I think should be said at a particular time,” she said. “And that’s what I did.”
Jordan has accused Fauci of working to deprive Americans of their freedoms. For his part, Fauci said on Sunday he did not appreciate Jordan’s tone.
“I do not enjoy that kind of confrontation,” Fauci said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
