"SNIP.......

Dr. Anthony Fauci sparred with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) during a Senate hearing after the senator attacked the doctor for appearing to disagree with scientists who said the coronavirus originated from a lab in China, NBC News reports.

Said Fauci: “What happens when he gets out and accuses me of things that are completely untrue, is that all of a sudden that kindles the crazies out there, and I have threats upon my life, harassment of my family, and my children, with obscene phone calls because people are lying about me.”

Rand Paul is a domestic terrorist and going forward - Fauci should treat him like a disgraced post WW 2 Nazi.

Rand Paul's website and how it is soliciting donations based on criticism of Fauci. Fauci was about to elaborate when the chairperson moved to return to Q&A about the subject.

It is unfortunate Rand Paul is not charged with incitement/harassment.
