Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro explained why she believes Dr. Fauci botched much of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ripped his refusal to take responsibility for his role in school closures Monday on ‘The Five.’

JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO: Well, I think that people are looking for Fauci to show a little humility. I think what they'd like him to say is, "Look, we didn't have everything right. I didn't get everything right." But he can't be humble. You know, instead he says, "I have been adviser to seven presidents." You know, there's such arrogance. It's almost like he's talking about himself in the third person.

He's acting like he had no role in it.
