Sen. Rand Paul Backs The #FireFauci Movement

Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in an interview Sunday night that Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Cheif Medical advisor to President Joe Biden, should be fired following last week’s revelation that the NIAID funded gain-of-function research on the coronavirus.

Paul claimed a letter from the NIAID to Ranking Member Rep. James Comer, R-Ky admitted that “limited experiment” had been conducted to test whether “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model,” which critics say contradicts Fauci’s long-held claim.

“He [Fauci] should be fired,” said Paul adding, “just for lack of judgment if nothing else.”

Paul said that it is unlikely that Fauci will admit that he lied.

“He’s going to continue to disassemble and try to work around the truth and massage the truth,” he said.

Paul said that he would be satisfied with an investigation into the gain-of-function research which he had already been calling for.

Meanwhile, Twitter is blowing up with “Fire Fauci” posts following reports of testing on dogs.

If Fauci hadn't lied to Congress about gain-of-function research, maybe he could weasel his way out of #Puppygate. Now that America knows he's a lying sociopath, trust in him among the literate public is *over.* #FireFauci
