The problem wasn’t Fauci, it was Red China. The communists killed 1.2 million Americans. It wasn’t a “lab leak.” It was a bioweapon to kill Americans and weaken our nation. Until we recognize this fact, we will have wasted the significance of the spectacle of Fauci invoking the fifth.

Here’s the problem for Senator Rand Paul, who convened the hearing. He’s a libertarian pacifist who doesn’t believe in fighting back against our enemies. He opposes President Trump’s war against Iran. He opposes Trump’s tariffs. He was beaten up by a neighbor in Kentucky.

He isn’t known as “Senator Snake” for nothing.

As I wrote previously, Rand Paul is consistently voting with the Democrats and attacking president Trump over Iran, insisting that “a 47-year-old conflict does not qualify” for a war. He was wrong about Russia, when he offered a justification and “reasons” for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and now he’s wrong about Iran.

Wouldn’t a reasonable person conclude that, after 47 years of attacks on America, which cost hundreds of American lives and produced many wounded warriors, that America had the right to respond in self-defense? Not Rand Paul.

This helps explain why the Senator focuses on Fauci rather than China, the origin of the virus, and peddles the “lab leak” theory. Fauci functioned as an agent of China. His masters in Beijing are the real villains. Senator Paul lets China off the hook, knowing that this act of war requires a United States military response.

If Senator Paul were serious, he would ask for a Declaration of War against China over killing 1.2 million Americans. He is not serious.

Fauci is a liar but the Red Chinese are bigger liars. They are a much bigger threat than dupes like Fauci.
