Maddow couldn’t contain herself. Before Fauci was even brought on, she melted with praise for Fauci. “Dr. Anthony Fauci is a singular figure in American history and in American public service. There has never been anyone else like him, and there never will be again” Maddow proclaimed.
She then went to a commercial break to presumably gain her composure. When Maddow returned, she introduced Fauci and eventually claimed “There are very few people who serve in government who, when you hear they’re going to write a book, you think, oh, good, I’ll probably learn something from that.”
Maddow, addressing Fauci added, “I feel like you’re an exception to my cynicism on that, in part just because it’s rare for one person to head up an important part of the government’s capabilities over such a long period of time, over so many different challenges, through so many different presidencies.”
