Sen. Rick Scott To Anthony Fauci: You’re Hiding Behind ‘Fraudulent’ Autopen Pardon

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci is hiding behind a “fraudulent” autopen pardon, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said during Wednesday’s hearing as Fauci continued to refuse to answer any and all questions, repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment.

Scott told Fauci he “destroyed” the federal government’s credibility on public health, and as a result, there are “entire generations” of Americans “who, rightfully so, do not trust our institution to keep people safe because of you.”

“This has destroyed decades of progress and lifetimes of work, because you wanted to fuel your own ego and be the center of attention,” Scott said, asking Fauci what he would do differently knowing what he knows today.

The Florida senator added, “You breached public trust, and now you’re hiding behind a fraudulent pardon. Your legacy will not be as a man who has saved America from COVID, but as a man who destroyed the public trust in America’s public health institutions in exchange for five minutes of fame.”

Rand Paul Schedules Vote To Hold Fifth Amendment-Loving Fauci Accountable

Rand Paul announces the committee will be voting to hold Dr. Fauci in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS after Fauci invokes the fifth amendment over 80 times

This carries up to a YEAR of prison time.

Paul argues that Fauci does NOT have a fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, as Biden’s autopen pardon protects him. Therefore, Fauci can be COMPELLED to answer questions.

PAUL: “My question was limited to the period of your pardon only. I find your objection UNSUPPORTED and DIRECT YOU to answer the question.”

FAUCI: *pleads fifth*

PAUL: “Because you refuse to answer citing a privilege unsupported because of your pardon and after being denied to do so this committee has scheduled a vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt”

(Editor’s Note: RedState’s Kyle Becker reported that Dr. Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment at least 74 times during today’s questioning.)
