Dr. Anthony Fauci accused Republican Senator Rand Paul of personally attacking him for 'political gain, distorting 'everything' he says' and inspiring 'crazies' to want to kill him during another tense battle in a hearing on Tuesday.
The White House chief medical adviser erupted at his nemesis for suggesting he was using his $420,000 salary, the highest in the federal government, to 'take down' scientist he disagrees with and for calling him 'lead architect' in the pandemic response that's led to 800,000 Americans dying under President Biden.
Paul, who has called for Fauci to be fired and prosecuted, referenced emails published by Republican lawmakers on Tuesday containing an exchange between Fauci and his boss, Dr. Francis Collins, in which they dismiss a report that the pandemic originated in the Wuhan lab.
He accused Fauci, 81, of 'using government resources to center and to destroy the reputations of other scientists who disagree with him.'
'Do you really think it's appropriate to use your $420,000 salary to attack science? Paul asked.
Fauci then flew into a rage, told Paul he was 'completely incorrect' and mentioned a California grocer who was arrested while travelling to D.C. with an AR-15 and threatening to kill him.
Fauci attempted to correct Paul but the pair wound up talking over each other in an increasingly heated back-and-forth.
'I think in usual fashion, Senator, you are distorting everything about me,' Fauci said.
Paul began attacking Fauci for a desire to 'tear down people' before the scientist cut him off to say he was 'completely incorrect.'
Fauci went a step further and told the Kentucky Republican, 'not only are you distorting it, you're completely turning it around.'

So bring up the dead dogs dammit. Don’t take this little twit’s garbage.
“The White House chief medical adviser erupted at his nemesis for suggesting he was using his $420,000 salary, the highest in the federal government, to ‘take down’ scientist he disagrees with”
Hmm... Who is the scientist Paul is after?
Surely not Fauci, the gnome is at most a vivisector.
Rand knows a bit about violent threats. Don’t go there Fauci. It’s YOUR side that is violent.
Inspiration? Oh, that is so rich.
The Day of Reckoning approaches.
420K? Fauci’s coffee money. Courtesy of...
Maybe Fauci could hook up his brain and accomplish a gain of function.
Maybe Rand Paul could ask about his gushing letters of admiration to Hillary Clinton and his wife’s reported large donations to her campaigns.
Maybe he could also ask what promises have been made to Fauci by the government of China. King of Cascadia, perhaps?
Oh no, Dr. Fauci. We don’t want to kill you. We want you to have a fair trial, televised for the entire world to see, followed by a swift and legal execution.
No, it’s worded in a confusing manner, but Fauci is the highest paid bureaucrat, not Paul, and it is Fauci that was trying to blacklist other scientists.
Left-wing loons have actually tried to kill Rand Paul, you narcistic moron.
“emails published by Republican lawmakers on Tuesday containing an exchange between Fauci and his boss, Dr. Francis Collins, in which they dismiss a report that the pandemic originated in the Wuhan lab”
Keep in mind that during this email exchange, Fauci knew full well that the virus came from the lab, because he personally approved funding the research that created it. Nobody else at his bureau could have done it; it required Fauci’s approval to override the general prohibition against it.
Fauci came prepared, again, to insert politics into his testimony. First it was Jan 6th, now it’s fundraising pages.
I suppose that would be Gates, maybe Fauci will be Baron of B.S. (Bedford-Stuyvesant, or that’s what he’ll think).
Was reading somewhere about Fauci sending what amount to love letters to HRC over quite some period of time, sickening.
Grouchy Fauci. You don’t want to be enemies with this little prick.
“...inspiring people to want to KILL him...” He must be referring to the “ambush” comment by the new permanent host of Fox Primetime, Jesse Waters. Back to your lectern monkey boy.
That movie was funny greg got all hot for his sister
