Cruz Responds To Fauci’s Attack On Him In Scathing Statement, Doubles Down On Call For Criminal Probe

Via The Daily Wire

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to an attack from Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Chief Medical Advisor to the president, on Sunday by doubling down on his call for the Department of Justice to investigate Fauci for alleged false statements that he made while testifying to Congress.

“Anybody who spins lies and threatens and all that theater that goes on with some of the investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that’s noise, Margaret, that’s noise,” Fauci said during an interview with CBS News’ Margaret Brennan.

Later, when asked about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) saying that Fauci should be prosecuted by the Department of Justice, Fauci responded: “Yeah. I have to laugh at that. I should be prosecuted? What happened on Jan. 6, senator?”

Fauci claimed that Republicans were trying to scapegoat him to protect former President Donald Trump and that Republicans who are attacking him are “lying.”

Cruz responded to Fauci’s remarks in a series of tweets late on Sunday afternoon, calling Fauci “an unelected technocrat who has distorted science and facts in order to exercise authoritarian control over millions of Americans.”

“He lives in a liberal world where his smug ‘I REPRESENT science’ attitude is praised,” Cruz said.

Cruz then laid out four “facts” related to his call for the DOJ to investigate Fauci:

  1. On May 11, Fauci testified before a Senate Committee that “the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
  2. On October 20, NIH wrote they funded an experiment at the Wuhan lab testing if “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.” That is gain of function research.
  3. Fauci’s statement and the NIH’s October 20 letter cannot both be true. The statements are directly contradictory.
  4. 18 USC 1001 makes it [a] felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, to lie to Congress.

“No amount of ad hominem insults parroting Democrat talking points will get Fauci out of this contradiction,” Cruz concluded. “Fauci either needs to address the substance—in detail, with specific factual corroboration—or DOJ should consider prosecuting him for making false statements to Congress.”

Fauci faced additional backlash on Sunday from various officials and commentators:

  • Jeryl Bier, journalist: “This is not helpful in any way. This is almost word for word something a cult leader would say. This persuades no one not already in his corner.”
  • Richard Grenell, former Acting Director of National Intelligence: “Fauci is all about politics.”
  • House Judiciary GOP Twitter account: “Trust the science. Fire Fauci.”
  • Geoffrey Miller, psychology professor: “Fauci’s narcissism, over-confidence, authoritarianism, & hubris are an embarrassment to real working scientists, who tend to value teamwork & humility.”

“What happened on Jan. 6, senator?” I’ll tell you what happened. The establishment (of which Fauci is a central figure) attempted a false flag insurrection implicating President Trump and his advisors. It was an attempt to flip the narrative away from the real insurrection which was the fraudulent election of Joe Brendon as President. That’s what happened Dr. Fadouchi.

Fuck off. A bunch of boomers gathered in disagreement does not resemble what you or he wrote.

Not one thing happened that was noteworthy aside from the cold blooded murder of that woman in the Capitol building.

Cruz is probably the smarmiest liar in the Senate. The rest are different kinds of liars. All 99 of them.

And how. I had a bad feeling about that rally, but my gut doesn’t have that kind of imagination. I remembered Charlotte.

I really have a hard time believing that those guys are real SWAT and they are not completely controlling that whole situation. That is just incredible. Just let all those civilians hang around while you have a critical casualty. I am going to look and see if I anyone appears to be calling in a 9-line. But so far nobody is doing first aid for what would be an eternity in the military. Like these guys have no field training or it is not real.

Wooz News. I downloaded it.

Why doesn’t HE do a criminal probe?
Why don’t these people DO anything (besides spending nonexistent money)? Worthless.

Why doesn’t somebody and everybody in congress have their own blog where they tell all?
Why don’t we demand this of elected people? One reason why Trump was popular.
That might do something.
I guess they think having an uncensored internet presence is undignified or something.
Unlike being humiliated every second of their worthless (more than that- damaging) lives by the demented ‘top leadership’.

Give Fauci the clot shot over and over until he dies from the safe vaccine.

We know nothing of legal consequence is going to happen to POS Fauci. We might prepare for other solutions.

Sotero, We ought to exact other solutions for Fauci, and all the rest of them. These people live somewhere, shop, talk, eat dinner, whatever. Maybe they have govt. hired guns for protection, but do you really think that those mutts (yes, read up on what the Secret Service and US Marshalls have been up to lately) are going to take a bullet for a Fauci? I don’t think so.

A couple of dozen. Random. That would get things going.
