Now, I thought it was going to be Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) who took on Dr. Anthony Fauci on the bombshell DARPA report, which we reported on earlier.
Rand Paul did finish off Fauci in a memorable exchange on his desire to silence dissent. Fauci himself provided a meme for the ages which Paul took advantage of and doubtless, it will be altered for more hilarity in the future.
But it was another Republican, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas, who is also a doctor, who went there on the DARPA report. First, Marshall notes that there were more deaths under Joe Biden than under President Donald Trump. That’s the chart you see behind him in the following video. But then he tells Fauci that 59 percent of Americans didn’t trust him. Fauci replies that that was a real “distortion of reality.”
Next, Marshall hones in on the gain of function research lie. He noted how DARPA rejected a proposal but the NIAID didn’t reject it under Fauci. Marshall asks why had Fauci previously said that they hadn’t funded gain of function research when the report indicated that they had. He also asks if Fauci would commit to providing all the documents on this subject — unreacted — to Congress by the end of this week
