Pat McAfee pokes fun at Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth Amendment live on ESPN

Pat McAfee has become ESPN's most powerful and influential personality. That's why he enjoys so much autonomy, commands one of the network's richest contracts and can say or do things on his "progrum" that other ESPN personalities wouldn't dream of attempting — or wouldn't be allowed to get away with.

During Thursday’s show, McAfee poked fun at Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the 5th Amendment a reported 111 times while "speaking" at the United States Senate hearing.

During a parody segment in which he pretended to interview Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio live, McAfee asked, "Vic, we appreciate you joining us. Do you think your team will win the Super Bowl this year?"

Fangio’s answer was a replay of his earlier press conference at Eagles’ camp where he jokingly responded to reporter’s questions by stating, "I’m gonna be like Fauci, and just take the 5th Amendment on all your questions."

They did this back and forth song and dance with multiple "Pat McAfee Show" personalities asking him questions about Jalen Carter getting a massive extension, splicing in Fangio pleading the 5th.

Add this to the long list of McAfee poking the political bear.

In the past, McAfee has adamantly defended interviewing President Trump on Veterans Day, went off on liberal hockey fans and media for their treatment of his generous offer to cover Team USA men’s hockey bar tab in Miami after winning gold and destroyed the narrative that people enjoy watching Caitlin Clark because she’s white, spouted by woke personalities at the network such as Monica McNutt.

In the past, McAfee has adamantly defended interviewing President Trump on Veterans Day, gone off on liberal hockey fans and members of the media over their treatment of his generous offer to cover Team USA men's hockey bar tab in Miami after its gold-medal victory and pushed back against the narrative, promoted by ESPN personalities such as Monica McNutt, that people enjoy watching Caitlin Clark because she's white.

Love him or hate him, Pat McAfee is unapologetic in the way he destroys the political narratives and rhetoric that has divided and driven millions of viewers away from ESPN over the years.

As for Fauci, he "could be barred from federal government work under a House GOP bill" after his recent actions before Congress. Personally, I’m hoping it’s much more than that.
