Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told incomprehensible lies about Dr. Fauci regarding Covid, claiming Fauci wanted to be the master of the universe.
As each day passes, MAGAts rewrite Demented Donald's handling of the pandemic and hoist the blame on Dr. Fauci, who was and is the most qualified and competent person to deal with such a virus outbreak.
KENNEDY: Dr. Fauci, I don't hate him, but let's face the facts.
He made them. He tried to establish complete control over everybody.
Why did he do that? In my opinion, he was scared.
Dr. Fauci, I think we're gonna find out, was funding gain-of-function research in a Chinese lab.
And the virus may have gotten out from the lab.
And Dr. Fauci saw that and he said, oh, my God, I could get blamed for all this, so I'm gonna have to establish complete control so nobody asks questions and nobody looks under the seat cushions.
And I thought he went too far in terms of mandating the vaccine for everybody.
I never understood why they put him in charge, ethically, how they could put him in charge when he was involved with gain-of-function research and being paid to discover these types of things.
And then he is calling the shots and coming up with all the rules for all of America.
So it's interesting, if that's the reason, because he was scared, he was trying to cover it all up.
Well, I don't hate Dr. Fauci, but I think he was funding gain-of-function research.
And I think there's a better than even chance.
He was giving the Chinese money to do this.
And there was a better, there's a better than even chance that that virus escaped from the Chinese lab.
And when Dr. Fauci saw that, he said, oh, my God, I could get blamed for all this.
He's human.
He got scared.
And he just said, look, I'm going to establish complete control.
I'm going to be the master of the COVID universe.
But it didn't work.
And a lot of people got hurt.
Right.
He did.
And he acted like a thug.
And a lot of businesses went out of business.
And a lot of people lost their livelihoods and their relationships and everything because he got scared.
And the military.
These were 18-year-old, 19-year-old kids that work out every day.
They're healthy.
Right.
And the worst of it is that that all of this undermined the institution of public health.
So next time, people will trust our public health institutions less.
And that's not a good thing.
The entire world was scared when the virus hit. Senator Foghorn continues to rewrite what happened in a pathetic attempt to jerk off the anti-VAX contingent of the MAGA GOP. Dr. Fauci was a leading expert dealing with these matters, which is why he was the head of the CDC.
Ultimately, Donald Trump shut down schools and the country, not Dr. Fauci.
If the country hadn't been locked down, more people would've died because of the virus, and Republicans would be calling Dr. Fauci a murderer for not supporting the shutting down of the country.
As Aaron Rupar rightly says:
almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.
