Fauci on Paul: ‘He’s raising money for his campaign by making me the villan’
1 00:00:00,540 –> 00:00:05,790 >> The hearing was a very important hearing and there was a lot of good faith even though 2 00:00:05,790 –> 00:00:11,070 there was disagreement political and other disagreement on both sides of the aisle. I mean 3 00:00:11,070 –> 00:00:16,530 Senator Murray and Senator Burr really wanted to get down to the bottom of some of the things that 4 00:00:16,530 –> 00:00:22,410 we can improve on. So I mean even the Republican senators were asking 5 00:00:22,410 –> 00:00:27,660 good tough questions and we should be having to respond to 6 00:00:27,660 –> 00:00:30,120 tough questions. 7 00:00:30,120 –> 00:00:35,490 >> And yet the only thing that came out of Senator Rand Paul and to 8 00:00:35,490 –> 00:00:40,800 some extent Senator Roger Marshall were ad hoc meetings which does nothing but 9 00:00:40,800 –> 00:00:46,170 distract from what we really need to be doing. We have a pandemic that 10 00:00:46,170 –> 00:00:52,110 everyone knows right now is like a tsunami on us. We’re going to have close to a million people 11 00:00:52,110 –> 00:00:57,480 a day getting infected and we have close to a million people who are going to die. 12 00:00:57,480 –> 00:01:03,690 Eight hundred and fifty thousand people dying and instead of using it in a constructive manner 13 00:01:03,690 –> 00:01:08,670 they’re distracting it with things that are patently untrue. 14 00:01:08,820 –> 00:01:14,820 >> So I can’t explain that Anderson except what I brought up at the hearing that 15 00:01:14,820 –> 00:01:20,250 it clearly is politically motivated. There he is. He’s he’s raising money 16 00:01:20,250 –> 00:01:26,280 for his campaign by making me the villain. He calls me a polarizing 17 00:01:26,280 –> 00:01:32,490 figure. Well if you call me a murderer and say I’m responsible for ridiculous preposterous 18 00:01:32,490 –> 00:01:37,860 slanderous statements responsible for the deaths of five million people doing this and doing that 19 00:01:37,860 –> 00:01:43,170 it’s not me that’s making myself polarizing it’s him. The only thing I’m 20 00:01:43,170 –> 00:01:48,360 trying to do is what you look on the record of everything I’ve ever said getting people to 21 00:01:48,360 –> 00:01:54,450 get vaccinated to get boosted to wear masks to abide by the CDC recommendations that 22 00:01:54,450 –> 00:01:56,570 should not be polarizing Anderson. 23 00:01:56,670 –> 00:02:01,860 >> That’s just public health. He’s making me polarized by saying things about me 24 00:02:01,860 –> 00:02:03,180 that are completely untrue.
