In a searing indictment, Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is demanding that former White House COVID-19 advisor Anthony Fauci face prosecution for perjury and be sent to jail. Cruz's explosive call comes after Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 100 times during a recent Senate hearing, shielding himself from questions about his conduct during the pandemic.
The Texas Senator did not mince words, declaring Fauci the "most damaging bureaucrat in the history of America."
"Years from now, they'll look back and say, 'What collective madness overtook this country?'" Cruz told Fox News Digital. "I think Anthony Fauci has had contempt for Congress and contempt for the American people for decades. His diary shows that he deliberately lied to the American people over and over and over again."
Fauci's performance before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was nothing short of a spectacle, as he refused to answer questions, drawing swift condemnation. This strategic silence has prompted Committee Chairman Rand Paul to announce he will seek contempt charges against Fauci.
"Dr. Fauci ought to think about what it says about the end of his career, that what he will be remembered for the most is pleading the Fifth more than 100 times," Cruz observed, encapsulating the deep public distrust and frustration. Fauci's repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment speaks volumes to many who believe he has much to hide.
Cruz’s aggressive stance is the latest chapter in a long-running feud between Fauci and prominent GOP senators like Paul and Cruz, who have relentlessly questioned Fauci’s handling of the pandemic and his honesty regarding COVID-19's origins.
The gravity of Fauci's alleged deceptions has been laid bare by his own private diaries, which contradict his public statements. "In his diary, he wrote early on that it was clear that the COVID virus did not come from the wet market in Wuhan, and then he turned around and said exactly the opposite thing on national television," Cruz highlighted, exposing the glaring inconsistency.
These diaries reveal Fauci considered the possibility of a lab origin for the virus, a theory he publicly dismissed, leading many to question if a deliberate campaign to mislead the public was underway. This critical information, conveniently ignored by much of the legacy media, further fuels the demand for accountability.
Adding insult to injury, Cruz pointed to Fauci's documented efforts to push for devastating school lockdowns. Fauci's diaries boast of his success in convincing officials in New York and California to shut down schools, a claim that directly contradicts his public testimony to the House Oversight Committee where he stated he "did not close the schools."
"The school shutdowns, which Fauci bragged that he was responsible for, may well be the single most destructive public policy step we've seen in decades," Cruz emphasized. "That learning loss will stick with those kids the rest of their lives when they're 90 years old. They will still be suffering the consequences of Anthony Fauci's corrupt and dishonest shutdowns."
For millions of American families, the long-term damage from these lockdowns, championed by Fauci, is undeniable. The chilling revelation that he knew he was lying to the American people demands justice.
"The fact that he knew he was lying to the American people – he should be held in contempt, he should be prosecuted for perjury, and he should go to jail," Cruz concluded, echoing the sentiments of countless Americans who demand real accountability for government bureaucrats who have abused public trust and harmed the nation. The pursuit of truth and justice against figures like Fauci is paramount to restoring faith in our institutions and protecting American values from those who would undermine them.
