Dr. Anthony Fauci’s demeanor gave off “signals of deception” during Wednesday’s Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, a renowned body language expert told The Post.
“When he was asked poignant questions, his autonomic nervous system took over, and he became flushed, his breathing changed, hunched over, paler, squirmed around, blinked a lot [and] licked his lips — all signals of deception,” Florida-based Dr. Lillian Glass wrote in an email.
Glass added that Fauci’s body language changed significantly at certain points of the hearing, shifting from confident and arrogant to “guarded” and “weak.”
“During Senator [Josh] Hawley’s questioning, Dr. Fauci’s shoulders rose again, and he squirmed visibly,” she noted. “His face became red. His voice weakened further and sounded increasingly shaky. He appeared emotionally strained and at moments looked as though he might cry.”
When grilled by Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Fauci’s again “became flushed and red,” she recalled.
“His breathing appeared heavier,” she observed.”His voice became much softer and weaker. By this point, he sounded meek and increasingly difficult to hear.”
