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.'

But the GOP has to play this carefully once they flip the House and Senate, you do not want the public to transfer their 3-Minute Hate onto Fauxi away from Xiden.
Ah, this just in, Fauxi called GOP Kansas Sen. Marshall a "moron" and took the Lord's name in vain when Herr Doktor thought the mic was off:
"Moments after Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) ended the kerfuffle and called for Senator Moran to follow, one can clearly hear the faint comment from Fauci saying “What a moron…Jesus christ.”
I feel a cold wind is blowing and a house of cards is about to fall. I hope Dr. Doom saved his money up—because he will be out of a job Soon.
Libs can’t handle the truth. When confronted with it, they just explode and that’s always been their “problem”. They live in a fantasy utopia world...just like Fauxi.
Rand Paul should read excerpts from RFK, Jr.’s book to Tony Mengele before each question.
Me thinks Dr. Dwarf protests too much.
Senator Rand must be getting pretty close to the truth and the Dwarf is baring his fangs and hissing. It’s what cornered animals do. Humans do it too as is clearly evident in this case.
Honestly I hope that is saved for exactly one year from today.
RFK Jr. gladly accepting Chairman Paul's Senate Health Committee invitation to testify against Fauci, with Fauci present.
Rand Paul, survived an assault by a deranged Dem neighbor and an attempted mass murder by a Bernie supporter and Antifa chased his wife and him down the street. But poor Anthony (the highest paid federal employee ever) is threatened because a loon is stopped in Ohio at a traffic light with a list. Boo Hoo...
Cue the sound clip from Bannon...... Fruuuum the CEE CEE PEE....
Yup Fauci avoided answering the question,again...
He HATES Rand because Rand is right over the target circling!!!
Either. Use it or come in for a landing because quite frankly I’m getting sick of Rand Paul’s Twitter sessions that accomplish nothing. I noticed he mentioned nothing about DARPA being involved in FukXi’s gain of function research
I have no problem with that. Toughen up, your ilk have been doing all of that to conservatives for years. Suck it.
That information just came out this morning could be that Rand didn’t know of the information yet!!
Senator Marshall brought it up. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/01/11/gop_sen_roger_marhsall_asks_fauci_about_ecohealth_alliance_and_gain-of-function_research.html
Fauci is mistaken. People wanted to kill him before Rand Paul began criticizing him.
Gee, now he knows how the rest of us feel with him around.
He sure does project a lot.
