FRANKFORT, KY – Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) – who has announced he has officially filed for re-election – promised that he will bring White House medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci to “justice” over his alleged lies in regards to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic if the GOP is successful in their attempt to re-take the Senate during the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
During a recent interview conducted with former Congressman Ron Paul – his father – Paul said that if Republicans do retake the Senate later this year, his focus will be investigating the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m not afraid to stand up to Dr. Fauci,” he said. “I’m not afraid to stand up to the government bureaucrats who I think have been dishonest with us about where this virus came from.” [Statement to ABC 13]
The two have repeated clashed during numerous hearings held over the course of the pandemic, with the Kentucky senator accusing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – the federal organization that Fauci heads up – of funding “gain-of-function” research at a laboratory in Wuhan, China, the suspected location of the initial COVID-19 outbreak in 2019.
Fauci has denied the accusations, leading Paul to brand him a “liar” and blaming him for the millions of deaths attributed to the virus.
Paul said that he will head up a committee to that end, and will use all of the subpoena power at his disposal to acquire COVID-19 records that he alleges Democrats are keeping out of GOP hands.
“Right now they send us records. If we ask about their discussions, covering up where the virus came from, its origins in the lab, they white it all out,” he said. “They redact all the information and send us a blank piece of paper and they won’t tell us about their conversations. We’ll get to the root of everything.” [Listen to this Statement]
