January 12, 2022 Anthony Fauci Accuses Sen. Rand Paul of Endangering His Life by Spreading Lies Around Pandemic ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Top White House pandemic adviser Anthony Fauci confronted Senator Rand Paul during a Senate hearing Tuesday, accusing Paul of endangering his life with repeated lies. Dr. Anthony Fauci: "A person was arrested who was on their way from Sacramento to Washington, D.C., at a speed stop in Iowa, and they asked - the police asked him where he was going. And he was going to Washington, D.C., to kill Dr. Fauci, and they found in his car an AR-15 and multiple magazines of ammunition, because he thinks that maybe I'm killing people. So I ask myself: Why would Senator want to do this? So, go to Rand Paul website, and you see 'fire Dr. Fauci' with a little box that says 'contribute here.' You can do $5, $10, $20, $100. So you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain." .
