Fauci's Defense Amid Congressional Hearing

Anthony Fauci over a period of decades has been an amazing public servant.

In the 80s, I had many friends who died of AIDS, a horrible,

painful death.

And I had friends who lived because of Anthony Fauci,

because he was willing to look at experimental drugs in a different way

than they had looked at them before.

And that really resulted in lives saved.

And he has done so many other things in his career to thwart epidemics,

to save lives, not just in the United States, but all over the world.

He has been a dedicated public servant who could have made

a lot more money outside of government than inside, but he stayed.

And now we are at a point where members of Congress,

and yes, you Rand Paul,

are on a witch hunt.

And the best I can say for Rand Paul is that he's being really honest.

I mean, he has said now, over a period of years,

he wants Anthony Fauci in a jail cell.

He has said it out loud.

He wants him in a jail cell.

That's the point of this hearing.

That's why they're doing this.

They want to take something that Anthony Fauci says and then claim it amounts to perjury,

and they want to prosecute him, they want to convict him, and they want to throw him in prison.

That's the point of this hearing.

There is no other point of this hearing.

There could be.

I mean, there are things they could certainly ask him, but he can't answer.

Because if he answers, it doesn't matter what he says.

You know, if you can prosecute somebody for frickin' seashells on the beach shore,

then you could certainly prosecute somebody for what they say in a congressional hearing.
