Ted Cruz Denies Fauci Attacks, Calls DOJ to Investigate

Fauci, in an interview with CBS News’ Margaret Brennan, made a number of remarks that were both absurd and highly inappropriate for a supposedly nonpartisan official to utter.

For example, at one point he said “Any guy who turns out to lie and threaten and all that’s going on with some investigations and congressional committees and Rand Pauls and all that other nonsense, that’s noise, Margaret, it’s noise. ” Plus, he added that the Republicans attacking him were lying.

Later, when asked about Senator Ted Cruz’s call to investigate him, he said “Yes. I have to laugh at that. Should I be prosecuted? What happened on January 6th, Senator?”

Clearly, in the opinion of Anthony “The Science” Fauci, Senator Cruz’s questions about certain elements of the 2020 election mean that Fauci is innocent and Cruz himself should be locked up.

Senator Cruz, predictably, responded with a vengeance. In a series of tweets, Cruz criticized Fauci for his authoritarian tendencies, distortions of facts and attitudes. Here are the tweets:

Then, after making his case against Fauci, Cruz added that:

No insult to the Democrats’ positions will help Fauci escape this contradiction. Fauci either needs to address the issue – in detail, with specific fact-finding – or the DOJ should consider prosecuting him for making false statements before Congress.

So while the rest of America may have to listen to Fauci’s ramifications, Senator Cruz is showing that he will stand up to the talkative technocrat. However, it remains to be seen whether the DOJ will take up the case.
