Fauci faces contempt vote after invoking Fifth Amendment in Senate hearing
www.axios.com
Fauci said Sen. Rand Paul was trying to get him to say something that could put him in legal jeopardy.

What he’s saying: Paul has an “unhinged obsession with me,” and his motive for the hearing is to “get me to say something — anything — that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars unquote,” Fauci said.

“Although it pains me to do so … under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci said.

      Your sister is an idiot. My conspiracy has more convincing dots than that: The USA, the first Trump’s administration ABRUPTLY stopped funding the research of corona viruses in Wuhan, which increased the chances of accidents, like a leak, which is what happened. Same way cutting funding to USAID led to more starvation and deaths in the poor countries it was benefiting. The same way cutting funds to Health institutions led you to this diarrhea outbreak you have right now. The same way cutting so many corners in the name of money has costed you, your companies and your government so many lives, money and reputation.

      You think we should keep blaming China for Covid, or the bats, or what? Do you want people to stay angry at China? Well, thanks to Trump doing this to Fauci, this angle people barely knew came up, and it is now inevitable to think the USA caused Covid.

      Your cheap attempt at trying to equate that to something as retarded as blacks being sold back to Africa, it won’t work. If you are an American Exceptionalist fool trying to do damage control, keep doing it like this. It’s perfect.

          You sound like the average MAGA I interact with. They always rely on cheap attacks to the messenger like this, they can never dismantle or debunk anything with logic or convincing arguments.

          I am glad my country is cutting ties with American suppliers, to instead open new deals with Asian ones. Here in Mexico, we will help China come here and build military bases near the border if they want, so that they can do whatever the fuck they want to the USA. It was thanks to evil people like you that convinced us of doing this. And there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it, you can’t even win against some farmers in Vietnam, nor Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Korean Wars, Bay of the Pigs…

          Have anything to say about the Iron River and the 30,000+ Mexicans you kill every year by arming the Mexican Cartels with guns? Project Gunrunning, Operation Fast and Furious during George Bush, all documents declassified by the USA itself, so, they are themselves saying they did all this.

          If they are capable of that level of evil, what makes you think they are not capable of provoking Covid?

          Terrorist country. Can’t wait till it’s gone.

              Yup. 100% MAGA. They always run away like this. You never dismantled or argued anything convincing, you only insulted me directly. Calling me a weirdo for being angry at the amount of death and destruction the USA has caused in my country and the world. Yeah, you are trash.

              Even when MAGAs say the most outlandish shit, I always address it and dismantle it, while mocking them. You don’t do that.
