Senator Ted Cruz has branded Dr Anthony Fauci ‘the most dangerous bureaucrat in American history’ and suggested the COVID tsar could end up in prison.
Speaking on Fox News Monday night, the Texas lawmaker issued his latest salvo against Fauci after the White House’s chief medical adviser lashed him Sunday.
Cruz told Sean Hannity: ‘I’ve got to say, Dr. Fauci, I think, is the most dangerous bureaucrat in the history of the country. He talked about hurting science but I don’t think anyone has hurt science or hurt the credibility of doctors more than Dr. Fauci because throughout this pandemic, he has been dishonest, he’s been political, he’s been partisan.’
Fauci has been accused of being ego-crazed because of the amount of TV interviews he undertakes, with his most recent CBS News appearance Sunday also seeing him blast Cruz and suggest the lawmaker was linked to the January 6 riots.
Senator Ted Cruz hit back at Anthony Fauci again on Fox News Monday night, blasting his ego and saying he could face five years in jail for allegedly lying to Congress
Referring to that interview, Cruz continued: ‘(Fauci) said, I represent science. I am science. I was laughing. It’s like Louis XIV, the sun king in France saying “I am the state.” It is this delusion of grandeur.’
Louis XIV ruled France between 1643 and 1715, and was given the insulting nickname because he believed the Kingdom of France revolved around him.
Cruz also highlighted what he claims was a breach of a US law – 18USC, Code 1001 – made by Fauci when he told a Senate hearing in May that the National Institutes of Health, of which he serves as a director, did not fund ‘gain of function’ research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab that COVID may have leaked from.
But in October, the National Institutes of Health admitted it had funded gain of function research, which seeks to make viruses more potent to try and find treatments for them.
Cruz said: ‘The statement from Dr. Fauci and the NIH are directly contradictory. I think (CBS interviewer) Margaret Brennan is a talented journalist, but she dropped the ball in not following up and letting him just respond with insult instead of asking the simple question.
Pelosi is the Most Dangerous !!!!!!
Nancy jetting off to Fuji
Cruz off to cancun
ooops, I’m early for TGIF!
(snicker snicker)
That’s not nearly long enough. He has done great damage to this country. He’s a fraud and will keep this so-called virus going just as long as he is allowed to , to keep his easy money flowing in.
A sentence of 5 years is at least good but 20 would be better considering the ones who took his advice no masks! One mask! Two masks. And that Fauci not tied to the China virus lie! Will the families & American people see this happen in our lifetime and not just a foot note in history books?
5 Years?
Fauci should be tried and executed for what he has done to this world!
