VIDEO: Moms for Liberty co-founder reacts after Fauci pleads the Fifth, 'Don't mess with American moms'
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich tells Fox News Digital why she believes parents still deserve answers about school closures, and pandemic-era policies after Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth during congressional questioning.
Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich said Dr. Anthony Fauci's decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment during congressional questioning left millions of parents still searching for answers about pandemic-era school closures, masking policies and the lasting effects they believe those decisions had on their children.
"The things our children have suffered with the lack of education, with the forced masking, with children in some places being forced to take vaccinations so that they could go to school, the things that they have endured, what our families have been through, America deserves an apology," Tina Descovich, CEO and co-founder Moms for Liberty, told Fox News Digital.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital Wednesday, Descovich said families are still grappling with the effects of pandemic policies, including learning loss, mental health challenges and prolonged school closures.
She said Congress should continue investigating how decisions were made and who was responsible for keeping schools closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Our children are still living with the consequences," Descovich said. "Some schools were closed in California, Chicago, other places for up to two years. Our children suffered mental health ramifications from his policies."
Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Wednesday to face questioning from Republican lawmakers and Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the committee, over how he handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
