BREAKING: Rand Paul Announces Vote to Hold Dr. Fauci in Contempt of Congress (VIDEO)

Senator Rand Paul on Wednesday announced the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will hold a vote to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer any questions during the hearing.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former NIAID director and face of America’s disastrous COVID response, finally appeared under subpoena Wednesday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

After enjoying his celebrity status and appearing on all of the networks during the Covid pandemic, all of a sudden Fauci doesn’t want to talk.

Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment in his opening statement in front of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on his actions that led to the COVID pandemic and his many lies told to the American public.

Fauci destroyed lives and crushed countless businesses during the Covid pandemic.

People died alone because of Fauci’s Covid policies and now he believes he doesn’t have to answer for his actions despite having a BLANKET pardon.

Senator Paul said the Committee will vote on a resolution to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt for pleading the Fifth Amendment more than 80 times despite having blanket immunity.

“Because you refuse to answer citing a privilege that is unsupported because of your pardon and after being denied to do so, this committee has scheduled to vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt,” Rand Paul told Fauci.

After the hearing, Rand Paul went off on Fauci for unlawful use of the Fifth Amendment.

“This has probably never been tested legally. If you’ve been granted complete immunity…do you still need Fifth Amendment protections, or do they apply?” Senator Paul said.

“All you had to do today was tell the truth!” Rand Paul told reporters.

“If he testified and told the truth, even if he admitted to destroying thousands of records, which we think happened, there’s no penalty that attaches, it would just be the truth,” Rand Paul said.

“I think the courts will have to figure out whether or not if you have a complete pardon, whether you have a liability against discrimination,” Rand Paul said.

Senator Joni Ernst told Fox News that Fauci pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times.
