“But this pile-on on Dr. Fauci,” the Fox host said, “what he knew, when he knew it, whether he had sinister plans… I thought he was thinking in real time, didn’t have a handle on stuff, was following it as you were at the time. Do you think this pile-on is fair?”

Lahita said he doesn’t, calling Fauci a “very professional” and “very ethical” person.

Cavuto went on to say this:

He has been vilified to the point that you’d think he was Lex Luthor. I don’t know how productive that is. What might have been missed and the source of all of this, I get that. But to make him the target of attacks, I think that a lot of this has to go back to his departure from the former president, Donald Trump at the time. But whatever is behind it, I don’t see it being constructive.
