Unleashed on Wednesday was a literal tidal wave of anger against Anthony Fauci, once the chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Joe Biden's top COVID-19 adviser, over his refusal to answer questions from Congress.
"The fact that he knew he was lying to the American people — he should be held in contempt, he should be prosecuted for perjury, and he should go to jail," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
Those questions arose because of his multiple statements in personal diaries that clashed, sometimes stunningly, with the talking points he was delivering in public, those used to shut down America's economy, force injurious DNA treatments on people and close schools.
A day later and the condemnation continues, this time with Cruz blasting Fauci, who now is retired on a taxpayer funded pensions of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, for perjury and contempt and arguing he should face jail time.
This after Fauci claimed Fifth Amendment rights to refuse to answer congressional inquiries, despite a pardon from Joe Biden that covers the time frame involved.
"Years from now, they'll look back and say, 'What collective madness overtook this country?'" Cruz told Fox.

Pick a lane.
Technically it violates HIPAA laws; a hippa would be a female hippo, or a hippo that identifies as female. 🦛 (/jk)
At this morning's Bible study, the pastor offhandedly asked how many times Fauci pled the fifth, and all thirty or so in the room immediately responded 111 times. (It actually was related, since we were studying John 9 and the parents of the blind man plead the equivalent of the fifth to the Temple leaders.)
Didn’t his (111) statements say, “... respectfully ... request my fifth amendment ...”
That ‘respectfully’ is lying, right there, 111 times!
Who among us does NOT have contempt for Congress?
Right lane. 😂. Pardon is for past issues. Not today’s lie to congress ergo .....5th. Do I have a clue what was for dinner last Thursday? 5th.
Republican Senator Wants To Imprison Science
With a capital “S” even. 😂👍🇺🇸
You appear to lack logic, then. Please frequent another blog, then, we have standards here.
He cant go to jail. He is a democrat, works for the government and the news media loves him. He can kill as many people he wants. People are so stupid. What is wrong with you?
And I'd point out that the argument being made is not throwing him in jail for criminal contempt. It is that he should be imprisoned for the substantive acts he is alleged to have committed. For which you say he has been pardoned....
A blanket pardon for even crimes he “might” have committed or probably even just thought.
Why does Science need a blanket pardon?
I say test it by prosecuting him and let his lawyers used the pardon as a defense. Then take it all the way to SCOTUS and test it.
I believe that with the pardon, Fauci no longer was in legal
jeopardy for crimes he may have committed during the period
covered by the pardon. Since the legal jeopardy had been
removed, Fauci cannot claim protection under the 5th Amendment.
I think that Rand Paul had tried to lure Fauci into a perjury
trap. If Fauci made any statement that contradicted his testimony
before Congress during the COVID years, his contradiction would
constitute a CURRENT violation of perjury laws that would not
be covered under the terms of his pardon agreement. If his testimony was the same as his earlier hearings, then he would
be claiming facts that are plainly contradicted by his diary
and therefore perjury in the present day - also not covered by
the timeline of his pardon agreement. As a result, the only
course available to him was to refuse to answer the questions.
Hence, 111 examples of invoking the 5th Amendment.
Go, Ted.
“Doctor Dirtbag” appears to have only ever been interested in money and power, not medicine.
Fauci should go to hell. Directly to hell. Do not pass GO, and do not collect any more “awards”, a pension, etc.
Epstein was at an age where people suddenly die.
Sure send him to jail today and hang him at sunrise tomorrow.
And he should be sued right into the poorhouse while they’re at it. He’s done so much damage to Americans that he can never atone for, but taking his wealth would be a good start.
You are correct. People like Fauci, the Clinton’s, the Bidens and the like will be taken by the Grim Reaper before Lady Justice.
The hearings yesterday were a farce. With the RATS preaching the glory of this little scumbag, you would think he was a great American hero or that they were elevating him to sainthood. I guess the next thing is he’ll be welcomed by the Chi-town Pope.
