🤬🤯 beyond disgraceful The #Senate “Homeland Security” Committee voted along party lines on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci in #contempt of #Congress for his refusal last week to answer questions from the panel. The committee’s chairman, #Republican Senator #RandPaul of Kentucky, has said he wants to see Dr. Fauci “in prison.” #law #scapegoat #PublicHealth #PublicDisservice

How many of his co-workers did he bump off? Should we give him a medal for that one? #RandPaul #DrFauci #COVID #GOP #USPol #USPolitics

The United States is a very sick nation. So much quackery, it's ingrained in the culture over there. #RandPaul #DrFauci #COVID #GOP #USPol #USPolitics #ConspiracyTheory

I find it fascinating that many Republicans and their MAGA followers have switched from "Nobody died from COVID. It was their co-morbidities that killed them." To "Dr. Fauci killed millions." #fauci #maga #uspolitics #randpaul #tuberville #covid

The hearing is over. Sen #RandPaul said the committee would vote next week on whether to hold Dr. #Fauci in #contempt for his refusal to testify [nope, that is a constitutional right you ignorant prick]. He delivered a dark closing statement, asking of Fauci, “Did his actions lead to the largest man-made plague in history?” Then Paul closed the hearing. Fauci walked out, stone-faced & necessarily escorted by police due to all the threats he faces because of charades like this. #RepublicanGoons

The top #Democrat on the panel, Senator #GaryPeters of Michigan, accused #RandPaul of waging a politically-motivated inquiry to “basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago.” Dr. #Fauci & Mr. Paul have been tangling with one another for years. In 2021, when the senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying while testifying before the #Senate, Dr. Fauci replied, “If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.” #COVID #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #USpol #law

Mr. Schertler, Dr. #Fauci’s lawyer, said in statement that he believes that exchange “triggered” #RandPaul’s crusade against his client. But he did not deliver the statement, because Paul refused to let him speak. Sen #RichardBlumenthal, #Democrat of Connecticut, read parts of the statement into the record. “The accusations that Chairman Paul continues to propagate are false & disgraceful,” the statement said, “& we will examine all options to hold him accountable.” #ConspiracyTheories #law

Over the weekend, #RandPaul released >1,100 pages of Dr. #Fauci’s typewritten personal diary without saying how he got them. On Tuesday, “Health” Secy #RFKJr said he gave the documents to Paul & another [crazy] #Republican, Sen #RonJohnson of Wisconsin, “so they could see the light of day.” #Trump #COVID #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

#RandPaul has been taunting Dr. #Fauci on Twitter all week, & Fauci’s conservative critics have been ridiculing him over diary entries that focus on his own fame & relationships with celebrities. Peter Staley, a longtime AIDS activist & close friend of Dr. Fauci’s, said he kept the diary to help write a memoir, which he was already drafting when the #pandemic hit. It was published in 2024. Staley said the personal observations reflect Fauci being “astonished at what was happening in his life.”

Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who spent nearly four decades as the government’s top #InfectiousDisease expert, refused on Wednesday to answer any questions from a #Senate committee investigating the origins of #Covid19. Dr. #Fauci accused the committee’s #Republican chairman, #RandPaul, of having an “unhinged obsession with me,” before repeatedly invoking his #FifthAmendment right not to incriminate himself. #Trump #COVID #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

Early in the hearing, #RandPaul warned that there would be “repercussions” for Dr. Fauci’s refusal to testify, & then ordered the removal of his lawyer‼️, David Schertler, when he tried to speak up on his client’s behalf. The hearing, unusual even by the #Senate’s recent hyperpartisan standards, also featured #ConspiracyTheories & personal attacks, with Republicans taunting Dr. #Fauci as a megalomaniac & a liar. #Trump #COVID #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

Senator #RandPaul accuses Dr. #Fauci of funding research in China that sparked the #pandemic, & then lying about it to #Congress — outrageous accusations Dr. Fauci vehemently denies. In a brief opening statement, Dr. Fauci noted that he had testified before Congress more than 200 times during the 38 years he ran the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [ #NIAID ], including during the #Covid pandemic. #Trump #ConspiracyTheories #PublicHealth #science #medicine #USpol #law

#GiftArticle #Fauci’s diary reveals his thoughts on a ‘rambling’ #Trump, the absurdity of his own fame, the #FarRight’s politicization of the #COVID #pandemic & more Released by #GOP Sen. #RandPaul, diary entries from the federal scientist who helped lead the covid response spotlight the internal battle over how to handle the outbreak. #PublicHealth #USpol

Fractures let light in: 4 GOP senators oppose the bill. Scott, Paul, Hawley blinked. Bootlickers see the obscenity. Junta cracks. #GOP #Republicans #PoliticalFracture #RandPaul #JoshHawley #Senate #Opposition #Democracy #News #Breaking

#RandPaul shows once again, that he's a true conservative:
