Rand Paul RIPS INTO Fauci: '1 Million Americans Died From COVID, Not Even an Apology' | N18G

Sen. Rand Paul criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Senate hearing, saying, "One million Americans died from COVID and not even an apology from Dr. Anthony Fauci." The remark came amid a heated exchange over the U.S. pandemic response, with Paul holding Fauci accountable for decisions made during the COVID-19 crisis.
Anthony Fauci, the former top U.S. infectious disease expert, declined to answer questions during a Senate hearing on Wednesday, invoking his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Fauci also accused Republican Sen. Rand Paul of waging an "unhinged" campaign aimed at seeing him imprisoned.
Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right and declined to answer 15 questions posed by Sen. Rand Paul during a Senate hearing. Paul argued that Fauci could not rely on the Fifth Amendment, claiming a pardon issued by former President Joe Biden would not shield him from potential legal consequences, and warned there would be repercussions for refusing to respond.
Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for 38 years and became the public face of the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has long been a frequent target of criticism from President Donald Trump and many conservatives. Ahead of the hearing, Trump took to social media to criticize Fauci, writing, "His ideas were CRAZY!"
The hearing featured tense exchanges over Fauci's repeated refusal to answer questions, making it one of the most closely watched political confrontations on Capitol Hill.
