We just love it when Republican Sen. Rand Paul gets any opportunity to question Dr. Anthony Fauci, who recently announced that he’d be retiring at the end of the year (coincidentally just before the GOP possibly gets control of the House and/or Senate). Today’s hearing was announced last month:
US lawmakers will look to press Biden administration health officials on their response to the growing monkeypox outbreak in a Senate hearing planned for next month, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee is planning the hearing on monkeypox for mid-September, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
During his turn, Sen. Paul took Dr. Fauci for a walk down memory lane about natural immunity by showing Fauci his own comments 18 years ago. Watch the entire clip… it’s something else:
"FACTS DON'T LIE!"

Fauci defended himself by citing a Reuters “fact-check” (and you know Reuters likes to help Dems protect the preferred narrative).

And that’s becoming clearer by the day.
He’s a pharmaceutical rep

Every single @SenateGOP @HouseGOP should be like this on every subject.
Or we should vote for new ones who will.
Enough is enough. https://t.co/sDDNkIDy53— M.T. Pockets (@Hammer_To_You) September 14, 2022
Hopefully the Republicans gain control of the Senate after the November midterms so Sen. Paul can chair hearings and put Fauci back in the hot seat during his retirement.
