Yesterday Dr. Anthony Fauci was a witness before Congress. However, he got into serious trouble when he was grilled yesterday by both Sen. Rand Paul and Sen. Roger Marshall (both doctors).
Paul confronted Marshall to find out about his participation in trying silence epidemiologists that had a different approach and were involved with proposing alternate mitigation strategies for coronavirus. Marshall struck him with the Project Veritas bombshell report that involved gain-of function research, which contradicts what Fauci had previously stated.
Fauci pulled out the victim card, claiming that the senators were wrong and that they were launching “personal attacks” on him. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), the chair of the HELP Commission, gave him some cover and interrupted to save Fauci. Fauci claimed he was receiving threats for which he blamed Paul, and he claimed the attacks were political, trying to deflect from Paul’s questions.
Fauci completely lost it and even called Marshall a “moron” under his breath and said “Jesus Christ!”
Fauci called Senator Roger Marshall an idiot because Fauci disagreed with him and said “Jesus Christ” in a derogatory manner. This little tyrant can’t keep his cool if anyone questions him. The Senator Marshall is both a physician and an Army Vereran! #FireFauci pic.twitter.com/p6gHizlUYe

But what was hilarious was the unforced error from Fauci when he advertised for Paul’s website and the “Fire Fauci” effort, creating a meme for the ages.

Fauci claimed that the attack was personal on him last night on MSNBC and CNN. Is there any ‘non-political’ figure who spends more time on television being political?

On MSNBC he continued to play the victim, saying, according to the transcript, “What you saw at the hearing today was pure ad hominem.” He even tried to use the AIDS activists who previously protested him, saying that the vitriol against him then, because of how wrong he was then too, wasn’t as bad as now. It’s not a great way to refer to another time when he made wrong statements and was greatly disappointed.
It is remarkable that Anderson Cooper and Chris Hayes did not ask Marshall about the information. Of course, CNN and MSNBC are now essentially Democratic media organizations. But it’s still something that they pretend to be journalists while being state media and failing to ask even the most basic journalistic questions.
While Fauci denied what Paul and Marshall were saying, he didn’t do anything to counter the evidence that they were presenting. Marshall requested that Fauci release all records pertaining to the subject matter without redactions to help clarify the situation. Fauci should not have any problem releasing records on the subject if Fauci was telling the truth. Marshall asked Fauci if he would agree to do that. Fauci, however, refused to do that when Marshall asked him. Instead, he took to radio and broadcast Democratic messages.
Paul wasn’t having it. He said that now Fauci is even going beyond saying he’s unquestionable because he is “science,” that he’s saying if you question him, you are somehow encouraging violence against him, which is crazy. Paul, who is more likely to have been attacked and threatened than any other person, listed some instances and claimed Fauci was trying to put blame on him.
“It was a cheap shot by a politician, not a scientist,” Paul said.

Fauci doesn’t want to be questioned, and he doesn’t want people pursuing any of these questions because of where they may lead.
