I think Rand Paul humiliated himself by asking stupid questions and trying to make Fauci look bad which is impossible to do. That show was not worth anyone’s time except to show how desperate the Republicans are.

Paul should have remembered who he himself is: a failed ophthalmologist who can't get along with anyone.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

And - once again - he proved exactly that: failed, and unlikeable. Not too bright either.

I still don't get why or how someone like Rand Paul gets voted into office???

It's the South, the land of semiliterate inbred white trash morons who insist on publicly celebrating their abysmal ignorance

Consider that an ophthalmologist who hyper focuses on the eyeball will not retain much medicine learned in medical school especially if he’s a corrupt politician. Now does anyone seriously think Paul has the knowledge or credibility to even shine Fauci’s shoes? He wanted vaccinations and republicans said no. He wanted mask and republicans said no. He warned social distancing and republicans said no. The botched pandemic response claimed 1 million Americans so someone had to be vilified, blamed. Jailed even. Bravo for Fauci and his magnificent display of fine sportsmanship. Scapegoating and gaslighting are like bookends when the government controls the way you think, what to believe (sorry, that’s church). But that’s church and state for you right there and what MTG was hollering and yapping about for years.

Republicans said "No!" starting on April 7, 2020, when the news came that Black people were the group dying in the most numbers, followed by Hispanics and the other people of color whose jobs didn't allow them to work from home like the White middle class. COVID suddenly became the way for Republicans to kill nonwhites in Blue States, a dream come true for the Confederate White People's Treason Party.

He's jealous because Dr. Fauci has a long list of actual scientific accomplishments. Paul's claim to fame? He was such an asshole that his neighbor (also a physician) kicked his ass.

TCinLA's avatar

Somebody ought to finish what the neighbor started - take a big step in the direction of Making America Truly Great Again.

Rand Paul has been humiliating himself for the past 5 years in his demonizing hunt for Dr. Fauci. This will become his legacy, not anything good and decent that he fought for.

TCinLA's avatar

He's never fought for anything good or decent. Republicans from the Confederacy don't do such things.

Fred Jonas's avatar

Paul must be desperately jealous. Fauci has made earth-shaking medical contributions, and Paul's ambition was to sit on his daddy's lap. Arthur Conan Doyle didn't like ophthalmology, either, so he decided to make himself famous to the end of time by writing the Sherlock Holmes stories. And Paul's ambition is to try to spit on doctors who are better than he is?

And when Trump needed him to discredit Fauci boy did he jump.

Well, the regime is encouraging Crazypants Paul to pursue his insane conspiracy obsession, because they are trying to rile up the anti-masker MAGAts in time for the midterms. Unfortunately MAGAs have the memories and attention span of goldfish. The regime is getting desperate, but they are running out of distractions.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Yet another distraction from.... are you ready..... EPSTEIN!!!!

Fauci: unshakable even under absurd pressure!

Sandy S's avatar

The man is as solid as can be! A great example of what we all should practice during these strange times. Keep your powder dry. :-)

Brilliant dedicated patriot. Honorable. Unappreciated.

He may be unappreciated by the fools who comprise this godforsaken administration, but he is certainly VERY MUCH appreciated by those of us who were mindful of his advice on mask-wearing, sanitizing, social spacing and staying away from public gatherings; when the vaccine became available we heeded his call to get it asap. Consequently, millions of us stayed healthy throughout the pandemic.

I think Dr. Fauci is an American Hero and I contemptuously spit upon Rand Paul, Bernie Moreno, Josh Hawley and all the other monstrous a-holes of Congress and this administration who joined with Paul to try and trap the good doctor into saying something--anything--that they could use to persecute and prosecute Dr. Fauci.

Dr Fauci the steadfast - he saved us all.

Fauci refusing to play the spectacle, a Supreme Court deadline that vanished, and a city that paused a massive tech giveaway. This week felt like a string of small, powerful moments that reshape the whole fight. Thanks for being here and reading!

Cherae Stone's avatar

Thanks for bringing the good news to the people!! It feels great, doesn’t it?

Mike Hammer's avatar

His performance was stellar, a masterclass.

Nancy Calabretta's avatar

Dr Fauci is a true American hero, a brilliant and compassionate scholar and clinician, the best of all he best!

Janet Robinson's avatar

Glad we had Fauci during Covid.

Mike Hammer's avatar

As he led the nations response to HIV/AIDS and Ebola nothing could have prepared him for the sheer level of arrogance, dumbfuckery and evil as in the Trump regime.

netta glaser's avatar

You said it well

Sandy S's avatar

One hates to think of where we would be today, if not for him and his managing to deal with DJT, too boot!

JoAnn Slymon's avatar

A national treasure

Cherae Stone's avatar

I agree. A hero!

Dr. Fauci: Honest, Compassionate, Competent, Humane, Selfless.

Fauci - a very brave and honorable man. That is why Rand Paul is after him. Rand is so jealous because he has never been brave or honorable. He needs a whole lot more than a testosterone shot!

Veronika Grimm-Matthews's avatar

Dr. Fauci stood between us and the great man who wanted to inject Clorox into our backsideds!

Janet Edelstein's avatar

That a dedicated public servant for years, gets treated like this is a travesty! Dr Fauci is a HERO!!!

Per Wikipedia: He contributed management of viral diseases: HIV/AIDS, Swine flu, MERS, Ebola, COVID-19. Additionally, he had significant role in creating the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and pushing for development of biodefense drugs post 9/11 attacks.
