An Ohio senator publicly tore into Anthony Fauci at a Senate hearing, in a bruising moment for Fauci and a political win for Republicans.

• An Ohio senator who sold his businesses to run for office attacked Fauci to his face over how he handled the pandemic.
• He called Fauci a disgrace and said Fauci cared more about being a celebrity than saving lives.
• He vowed to replay clips of Democrats defending Fauci to voters again and again.
• The clash turns a hearing into campaign material aimed at Democrats up for reelection.

Outlook: Expect these hearing clips to keep circulating as Republican attack fuel heading into the next elections.
