Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) punched back at Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday after the infectious diseases doctor claimed that criticism against him is "dangerous."

Cruz, meanwhile, responded by laying out his case that Fauci lied to Congress. Cruz demanded Fauci substantively respond to the facts, and doubled down on his assertion that the Justice Department should investigate Fauci.

Cruz said:

Fauci is an unelected technocrat who has distorted science and facts in order to exercise authoritarian control over millions of Americans. He lives in a liberal world where his smug "I REPRESENT science" attitude is praised. Here are the facts: (1) On May 11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that "the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology." (2) On October 20, NIH wrote they funded an experiment at the Wuhan lab testing if "spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model." That is gain of function research. (3) Fauci's statement and the NIH's October 20 letter cannot both be true. The statements are directly contradictory. (4) 18 USC 1001 makes it felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, to lie to Congress.

"No amount of ad hominem insults parroting Democrat talking points will get Fauci out of this contradiction," Cruz concluded. "Fauci either needs to address the substance—in detail, with specific factual corroboration—or DOJ should consider prosecuting him for making false statements to Congress."

Dr Fubar clearly believes he is god 🤪

Most likely due to his schizophrenia

[JustaCowgirl]

Roar away, Senators. We need more sane people roaring at that evil little prick.

[left that other site]

A friend of mine sent me the Book “The Real Anthony Fauci” by RFK Jr.

It is a tough read, but quite a revealing expose’.

[joshua c]

faux-xi knows he is protected, hence the hubris

[sopo]

Aristotle Fauci.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Most likely due to his schizophrenia”

Maybe closer to a malignant narcissist.

[BatGuano]

Fauci, Mengele? Two of a kind. Any doubt?

**And the little weasel is paid more than any other “crat,” in the country. Only Football coaches make more as state or Federal employees. And, Football coaches don’t kill people!

Fauci is doing just outstanding work in persuading conservatives that a cultural divorce isn’t merely desirable, it’s absolutely necessary. And I thank the arrogant piece of work for the assist. Amazing what just one aloof bureaucrat can achieve when they put their mind to it.

If Fauci represents “science”

Then I am anti-science

He represents evil masquerading as science

[KarlInOhio]

Very Louis XIV of Dr. Fauci: La science, c'est moi.

[Lisbon1940]

Cruz represents Texas. Let’s have Texas and science duke it out.

[x]

Sure, if by “science” you mean the Lollipop Guild ...

[Secret Agent Man]

Hes showing cultural divorce will not be enough

One of the “spouses” must die

Aint gonna be me

[Belteshazzar]

“Dr Fubar clearly believes he is god.”

Yes, well, doesn’t he have a surprise coming?

[lgjhn23]

The only roar I’d be interested would be the thunderous one from the crowd when the murdering SOB drops through the gallows trap door at a public hanging.

[curious7]

Fauci couldn’t represent science on his very best day. The guy is a political hack.

A friend of mine sent me the Book “The Real Anthony Fauci” by RFK Jr.

My copy arrived yesterday; hard to put it down.
