Sen. Cotton wants probe into Fauci after report exposes Chinese lab ‘lie’

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton called revelations that Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to have lied about “gain-of-function” research at a Chinese lab at the center of the coronavirus pandemic “one of the biggest scandals in Washington” and said the infectious diseases expert should be investigated and prosecuted.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has sparred with Fauci over funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology in several congressional hearings, said he should be removed immediately because of his “poor judgment.”

“He should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Cotton (R-Ark.) told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Tuesday night.

“You know for 18 months he’s been saddling up his moral high horse and plucking his tongue at college kids who want to go celebrate a football game at an outdoor stadium on a nice fall day or parents who don’t want their kindergartners to have to work masks their entire lives, telling you you have to wear three masks, when all along, he’s been lying, not just in Congress, but to the American people about his role in funding the very reckless and dangerous research at a Chinese Communist lab that unleashed this pandemic on the world,” Cotton continued.

“It is a disgrace, and it’s time for Tony Facui to be held accountable,” he said.

Ingraham asked how he would rate the developments.

“One of the biggest scandals in Washington modern times, and they funded a laboratory that in all likelihood is the source of this once-in-a-century pandemic that has upended so many of our lives. Hundreds of thousands of people dead,” Cotton said.

O.K., you have significant support for that, go ahead and get started.

I'm looking forward to Tony Fauci's next appearance in front of the United States Senate.

His following trip should be to the federal courthouse down the street.— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) September 8, 2021

Great! Another report and “investigation”. Maybe in 10 years or so we may get a response.

So, there is nothing more that can be done except sending out a press release saying you’re mad, huh? How about silence until you are ready to, you know, ACT.

He wants to? Why doesn’t he just do it? Why doesn’t someone in the GOP just do something? This guy was a ranger? What happened to him?

Alrighty then. A probe. Considering the fact that investigations have no outcome, then maybe a probe will. I feel much better.

You have to make the case first. He is making the case to and on behalf of the American people when our leadership won’t. It starts with making the case. What are you doing besides shooting him down?

There's a reason there is a popular saying; All talk and no action.

“Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to have lied about “gain-of-function” research” Either he did or he didn’t; stop beating around the bush and get to the truth, holding him accountable . He’s a felonious SOB and should be fired and jailed.

I have no problem with Tom Cotton. I do, however, I have a significant problem with Republicans constantly posturing with never ever obtaining a shred or even a whiff of any results. Lots of outrage and fulminating with no accomplishments. This country is way past simply expressing displeasure with criminals who are, piece by piece, destroying western civilization.
