Ted Cruz Rebuts Faucis Attacks And Calls for DOJ Investigation
Fauci made some bizarre comments during a CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan. These were highly inappropriate for a supposed non-partisan bureaucrat.
For example, at one point he stated “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.” Adding to that, he at one point added that those Republicans that attack him are lying.
Later, Sen. Ted Cruz was asked about his call for him being investigated. He replied “Yeah.” That is hilarious. Should I be tried? What happened Jan. 6, Senator?
You can see him here:
Evidently, Anthony “The Science”, Fauci believes that Senator Cruz’s questions regarding certain elements of the 2020 election make Fauci innocent. Therefore, Cruz should be imprisoned.
Predictably, Senator Cruz retaliated with vengeance. Cruz attacked Fauci’s authoritarian tendencies and distortion of facts in a series of tweets.
These tweets are:
(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.”

(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 felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, to lie to Congress.
After presenting his case against Fauci’s, Cruz then added:
No amount of ad hominem insults parroting Democrat talking points will get Fauci out of this contradiction. 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.
While the rest of America may have to follow Fauci’s dictates, Senator Cruz is showing that his resolve will be able to stand up to the snobby technocrat. However, it remains to be seen if the DOJ will take up the case.
