Rand Paul responds to Fauci’s arrogant, unbelievable statement that he IS the science
The rejection of the notion that he be subjected to legitimate congressional oversight drew a swift and severe response from Senator Paul who took to Twitter to take the career bureaucrat down a peg or two. “The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It’s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity,” Paul wrote.

 Dr. Anthony Fauci is evil incarnate.  Lord Fauci is totally delusional in what he thinks about his power.  Now the idiot thinks that he IS science!   Lol!  This delusional control freak thinks we should surrender our liberty and freedom to him and the deep state while we know our place and sit down and shut up.  We will not. We will challenge him and question absolutely everything he says about anything and find other real experts and listen to them instead. Dr. Rand Paul was right to call him out for thinking he was somehow above oversight by the legislative branch of government.

Rand Paul responds to Fauci’s arrogant, unbelievable statement that he IS the science





Staff Writer



With the scary new omicron variant laying the groundwork for a new and rapidly intensifying fear campaign, the networks trotted out Dr. Anthony Fauci on the Sunday morning shows as the nation will soon be subjected to another onslaught of panic and propaganda spearheaded by the smug career bureaucrat.

Despite Fauci’s constant flip-flopping and moving of the goalposts, he continues to be the nation’s face of COVID as President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser and, while he has taken some hits in terms of credibility, he remains the media’s go-to guy when it comes to dispensing the administration’s talking points.

The head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” when during an interview with fawning host Margaret Brennan, he rejected criticism from Republican lawmakers including Sen. Rand Paul who has repeatedly grilled him during his appearances for testimony before the Senate by claiming that he is above reproach because anyone who dares to criticize him is attacking science.

During his chat with Brennan, Fauci scoffed at the notion that he should be subjected to legitimate congressional oversight.

“Anybody who’s looking at this carefully realizes there’s a distinct anti-science flavor to this, so if they get up and criticize science nobody’s going to know what they’re talking about,” he said, “but if they get up and they really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci well people can recognize that there’s a person there so it’s easy to criticize but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science, that’s dangerous.”

The rejection of the notion that he be subjected to legitimate congressional oversight drew a swift and severe response from Senator Paul who took to Twitter to take the career bureaucrat down a peg or two.

“The absolute hubris of someone claiming THEY represent science. It’s astounding and alarming that a public health bureaucrat would even think to claim such a thing, especially one who has worked so hard to ignore the science of natural immunity,” Paul wrote.

It isn’t the first time that Fauci has suggested that he is “the science” but he took his brazen arrogance to an entirely new level during his chat with Brennan.

In addition to wrapping himself in the science, he also trashed the two Republican senators.

“So anybody who spins lies and threatens and all that theatre that goes on with some of their investigations and the congressional committees and the Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that’s noise Margaret, that’s noise.” Fauci smugly declared. “I know what my job is”

Brennen then brought up Senator Ted Cruz, another who has dared to question the high priest of COVID and has called for him to be prosecuted.

Fauci diabolically snickered, then suggested that the Texas Republican is the one who should be prosecuted, inferring that Cruz was involved with the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, an event that has allowed Democrats to portray their political adversaries as terrorists and criminals.

He then answered Brennan’s softball question on whether he’s being scapegoated for Trump’s alleged failures, “Of course, you have to be asleep not to figure that one out.”

However, the CBS interview with Brennan may yet backfire on Fauci who has been able to get away with his scamming of the public at least partially on the basis of him being a kindly, grandfatherly figure. But his mocking and menacing demeanor only succeeded in showing his true colors to those who are paying attention.

Typical partisan crap.

This quote from Fauci:

“Anybody who’s looking at this carefully realizes there’s a distinct anti-science flavor to this, so if they get up and criticize science nobody’s going to know what they’re talking about,” he said, “but if they get up and they really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci well people can recognize that there’s a person there so it’s easy to criticize but they’re really criticizing science because I represent science, that’s dangerous.”

... does not claim that Fauci himself IS science.   He stated, correctly, that he is representing science ... that he is communicating science in his domain of expertise (which is infectious disease).    Represent = 'to speak for'.   That is, after all, his job.

Partisans yet again stupidly spinning everything into an attack.   Truly sickening to behold.

Fauci isn't representing anything but himself.  He's lied about the origin of the virus.  He's lied about his involvement with the virus.  He's lied about the funding for the gain of function testing.  He's lied about the use of masks.  He's lying about this new strain.  His only interest is self-preservation and even that's failing.  

So yes, it is an attack.  An attack against somebody who should not be in the position he is in.

Oh? And what IS the origin of the virus? 

He's lied about his involvement with the virus.

Lol, what involvement?

He's lied about the funding for the gain of function testing.

Prove the NIH funded it. 

He's lied about the use of masks.

How so?

He's lying about this new strain. 

In what way?

His only interest is self-preservation and even that's failing.  

Lol, he is doing just fine. His retirement etc. has long since been taken care of, the dude can retire anytime he wants. He will be just fine.

  An attack against somebody who should not be in the position he is in. 

And why not? Who would be better?

Fauci is right. His critics cannot actually go after anything he is saying because they have no fucking idea what they are talking about and their dipshit supporters even less so, so they have to attack him personally. Of course his critics only goal is to get themselves into media headlines, they don't actually give a shit about the virus, best practices, or how to get through the pandemic, none of that shit gets them campaign donations or book deals.

because I represent science

Um, he does represent science. That’s literally his role. He reports on the current state of Covid science to the government. The hysterical reaction to this statement of the obvious is silly. Fauci represents science - sometimes in a clumsy way, to be sure, but true all the same. Paul represents his constituents - again sometimes in a pretty ungraceful way. None of this should be controversial.

He's a political hack.  No different than Pelosi or Biden.  His "science" changes with the political climate.

If he "represents science" then he wouldn't have to cover his ass so much.  It appears clumsy because it is clumsy.  He's losing track of the lies he's told.  Recommend some reading.

His science changes the way all science changes, as we learn more. That is the greatest strength of the hard sciences. 

He's losing track of the lies he's told.

Saying something different as we learn more is not lying. Giving information and advice based upon what we know at the time is not lying.

It’s not “his science,” though. He’s just reporting the news. Where I think he gets into trouble is when he starts recommending policy, but that also, is his job.

And his doctorate is like what, over 50 years old?

That is just the beginning. Once you get a Ph.D. you must constantly do research to stay relevant. As the saying goes, "Publish or Perish". 

My daughter is a Ph.D. candidate in autism. She studies neurophysiology, which in laymen's terms means how the brain thinks. She is constantly at research or writing papers.

"the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, an event that has allowed Democrats to portray their political adversaries as terrorists and criminals"

It was clearly an attempted insurrection. If the mob who beat capital police, broke windows and doors, chanted "Hang Mike Pence!" and chased elected legislators with zip ties in hand had managed to get ahold of those they were after they clearly intended to use force to get those legislators to overturn a free and fair election. 

Many of those involved have been tried and convicted, so they are clearly terrorists and criminals.

But the other big lie in this bullshit partisan seed is their weak attempt to claim Dr. Fauci doesn't represent the science. These spineless scum bags are attacking him at the same time we have a new variant because conservative Republicans are desperate to hide their involvement in both downplaying the virus, ridiculing basic safety measures like mask wearing and social distancing and their clear incitement of their constituents who carried out the January 6th attempted insurrection. They are truly below the worst scum on earth, you really can't get more vile than these spineless belly crawlers.

When your Doctor tells you that you have a health issue that needs to be addressed, do you call him "arrogant" because he is "representing the science"? Of course not, that's something only a complete moron and likely uneducated bitter dipshit might do because they don't want to accept the truth and/or despise those who have better educations. They are losers, suckers, gullible scum bags ready to believe anything if it aligns with their ignorant world view or sad useless indoctrinated ideology.

No, those were not peaceful protests and as I have said over and over again I condemn those who participated in any violence, vandalism or looting and believe those persons should be arrested and held accountable. But one thing is for sure, none of those criminals were attempting to overthrow a free and fair national election through violence and vandalism as did those Trump supporters on January 6th.

And yes, it was an attempted insurrection, those who attacked the capital were trying to reject the authority of the government and the constitution and install their own leader as President. They threatened legislators, beat capital police, broke down doors and windows, raided elected officials offices, chanted "Hang Mike Pence!" who is of their own party simply because he refused to break the law and give in to their violent threats and demands.

But your weak what-about-ism and false accusation and mischaracterization are noted.

Wait.  You are trying to tell me that there wasn't a single person from the Minnesota, Baltimore, Ferguson, or any other riot in DC on 6 January.  You know this for sure and can back up such a moronic claim.

And yes, it was an attempted insurrection, those who attacked the capital were trying to reject the authority of the government and the constitution and install their own leader as President.

I'd agree with you but that would make us both wrong.

Fauci is not a credible representative.  I'm sure he's a great bureaucratic  politician, but you'd think the government would want someone with a little more integrity and honesty as the face of it's effort.
