‘He’s A Menace’: Rand Paul Says He’s Proud To Raise Money In Efforts To ‘Fire Fauci’

Senator Rand Paul doubled down Wednesday on his calls to fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, calling President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor “a menace.”

Just one day after their most recent confrontation — during a Senate hearing on the federal government’s continued response to the coronavirus pandemic — Paul joined Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer on “America’s Newsroom” to discuss the situation.

“When it comes to you and Dr. Fauci, we’ve seen a lot of these exchanges. Why is it so personal between you two?” Hemmer asked, noting that both Paul and Fauci had made accusations against each other during the hearing.

“Well, the thing is, he has made it very personal,” Paul replied, accusing Fauci of using his position to go after scientists who dared to disagree with him. “He makes over $400,000 a year to go after specific scientists, denigrate them, smear them, call them fringe. The three scientists he went after work at Stanford, Harvard and Oxford.”
