Dr. Anthony Fauci, appearing under subpoena, refused to answer questions during a Senate Committee hearing, saying that Rand Paul’s “unhinged obsession” with his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic should end with prosecution and jail time.
Poodle Paul has threatened to hold a committee vote on pursuing contempt charges against Fauci, believing that Fauci’s Fifth Amendment rights were revoked when he received a preemptive pardon from President Biden.
Republicans used Fauci’s silence as an opportunity to gather media sound bites and hurl insults and conspiracy theories.
Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor and prominent immunization defender despite vaccine skeptics within his own putrid party, declined to give his thoughts on Fauci’s decision to plead the Fifth. Cassidy said he didn’t watch the hearing.
