Stephen and Katie Miller are a couple of hypocritical clowns, and Dr. Anthony Fauci has the receipts to prove it.
Fauci, now 85 years old, stood at the helm of the US government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during Donald Trump’s first presidential term. For a while, he was openly hailed as a true American hero, responsible for saving millions of lives.
Now, the far-Right has turned on him with a vengeance, with dozens of MAGA talking heads now claiming that they’ve always hated and distrusted the now-former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. However, Dr. Fauci’s own personal records paint a far different picture — one of people who had no qualms with leaning on him for guidance and support only to vilify him now, as the President and his Republican party sculpt him into a scapegoat.
Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security Committee this week in response to a subpoena, where he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer questions that Republicans would only use to twist and further vilify him.
This waste of taxpayer money for the witch hunt against Fauci is being spearheaded by Kentucky’s Rand Paul, as part of his larger investigation into the origins of COVID-19—because who better to conduct an expansive, epidemiologic investigation than a defunct eye doctor?
As part of that investigation, Paul recently released over 1,000 pages of Dr. Fauci’s private diary with entries spanning from 2019 to 2022.
