Up to his backside, duh.
But in charge...
SNORT.
Nice try, Deep State.
Exactly. Rand Paul is a ridiculous shill and cover-up artist, when all is said and done. Fauci is a bad guy, yes, and has been making bank for decades as a government bureaucrat while the health of America's children has deteriorated materially on his watch at NIAID.
That said, however, the SARS-COV-2 "conspiracy" was a work of the U.S. military/intelligence community, which is something that Paul surely understands. He's actively running interference for the perpetrators at this point, which can only facilitate them pulling this same sort of stunt in the future.
If this is how he's going to play it, Rand Paul should hang with the rest of them.
Must have been some death loving democrat like Nancy Pelosi, pure evil, trying to end homeless population in SF but failed again.
