In his many TV appearances this morning, Dr. Evil took potshots at Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, including suggesting that Ted Cruz should be prosecuted over January 6th … all while claiming to BE science and society AND saying nobody should play politics with the pandemic.
Of course Fauci does nothing BUT play politics. He never has a cross word for any Democrat violating his recommendations, which they do all the time, or any criticism of anything ever said or done by any Democrat for any reason. But he wades in with insane cackling about January 6th and has the GALL to accuse others of playing politics?
Well Ted Cruz and Rand Paul ain’t havin’ it.
Boom number one:
The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It’s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity. https://t.co/rcDezphVRR

Boom number two:
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:
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 28, 2021
(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.
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.

EXACTLY RIGHT.
