MAGA influencer Evan Kilgore is facing significant backlash after a controversial post on X directed at Dr. Anthony Fauci. In a message shared with his approximately 188,000 followers, Kilgore sparked outrage by asking, “Why isn’t Dr. Fauci hanging from a tree yet?”
Contradictory Rhetoric
Critics were quick to point out the dissonance between Kilgore’s aggressive political commentary and his social media profile, which prominently features the phrase “Christ is King.” One user responded, “Jesus didn’t die for you to tweet this dumb s---, Evan,” while another remarked, “No hate like ‘christian’ love.”
Others seized on the moment to question the broader narrative regarding political volatility. A user with the handle @ASaneDemocrat countered Kilgore’s post by declaring, “The violent right everyone!”
Legal Context for Fauci
The vitriol arrives as the former COVID-19 pandemic overseer navigates serious legal challenges. Two weeks ago, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a committee hearing. This contempt charge has been referred to the Department of Justice.
Committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., pushed for the contempt finding, arguing that Fauci’s Fifth Amendment protections were nullified because he received a pardon from President Joe Biden last year, as previously reported by the Associated Press.
