Ted Cruz Calls For Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Arrest For ‘Lying Under Oath’ About Covid-19

Man, we wouldn't have to look far into my Fauci threads to find I have drawn the same conclusion. Only it was over a year ago.

Fauci needs held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law

=================================

Sen. Ted Cruz(R-Texas) said that the former chief medical adviser to the president, Dr. Anthony Fauci, should face criminal charges for “lying under oath” to Congress about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cruz made his arguments at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland. “There has been no person who has done more to destroy trust in the scientific and medical community than Dr. Anthony Fauci who told millions of Americans lies willingly, knowingly, glibly, supremely arrogantly,” Cruz said.


Cruz’s arguments came just days after the Department of Energy (DOE) concluded with “low confidence” that Covid-19 most likely came from a lab in Wuhan, China. On Tuesday FBI Director Christopher Wray reiterated that his agency agreed with the Department of Energy’s conclusion, albeit still with “low confidence.”

Other intelligence agencies are either undecided or believe that the previously accepted story, that Covid-19 came from human to animal transmission, is most likely.

In April 2020, Fauci did claim that the “lab leak” theory was “a shiny object that will go away soon.” He later claimed that it was “molecularly impossible” that the viruses being worked on in the Wuhan lab could have evolved into the pathogen that led to the pandemic. When grilled by Republicans in Congress over “lab leak theory,” Fauci said that their language had “a distinct anti-science flavor.”

When confronted last week with the DOE’s decision to identify “lab leak” as the most probable Covid-19 origin story, however, Fauci urged Americans to keep “an open mind” and that “we may never know” the pandemic’s origin.

While the DOE surely embarrassed Fauci, there is no proof as of now that he had any prior knowledge of any evidence supporting the theory that Covid-19 originated from a lab.

 
Keep the faith libby's. They did say there was no proof (so far) that the little Hitler striker Fauci knew anything prior about where it actually came from.

So ... there's a chance he's innocent... LMAO
 
Similarly, I call for the arrest of Senator Cruz for electoral fraud against. Donald in the 2016 GOP Primaries. I also demand his father’s arrest for the murder of JFK. Thank you @VySky for highlighting Ted Cruz’s crimes and whereabouts.

Your demands are like the tree that fell in the forest. Basically, insignificant in the big scheme of things. Unlike what a Senator might demand.

Wow, the first ad hom was in Post #2. I'd like to discuss whether there is merit in what Senator Cruz says. I have always believed that the pandemic began in a Wuhan lab and never gave credence to what Fauci said. But was he merely mistaken, or did he lie under oath? Are criminal charges justified? Why?

It must suck to watch the Biden Administration be so successful and have to come up with manufactured crises to make one's self feel better.
 
hehehe
Who takes this seriously?
I'm taking this thread seriously and am getting tired of the derailing Cruz ad homs. I am not defending him, but I am defending this thread. I want to discuss the OP. Ted Cruz isn't the topic; whether Fauci should face criminal charges. Can we move beyond all the cheap throwaway lines and discuss the OP?

So succesful? LMAO.... Thanks for the laughs but now I have to clean coffee off my screen. Please, don't stop though.

Of course they've been massively successful but you can't see it because you're stuck in that fox news bubble.

That must suck.
 
Ted Cruz is such a waste of space.

To those who are evil. So you are an advocate of Fauci mindlessly, why?

Why does the mindless following only go one way? Like a one way street.

How is it that people can be emboldened to act the same and call themselves heroes?

It’s not panning out well for the Dr.

Ted Cruz is a real American patriot, Fauci is not.

It’s deluded to think otherwise. It means your brain was washed by propaganda. That’s why people become mindless followers and parrots. No rational thought or debate, just hate and projection.

This would be true except we are talking about Senator Cruz, the first human being without an actual backbone. Call his wife ugly and he’ll lick your boot. Accuse his father of murder and he’ll drop to his knees and beg your forgiveness. Cruz is the very definition of a submissive life form.

Cruz demanding an arrest doesn’t involve Cruz? Fauci has been the NAGA boogyman, just dumb.
 
You can keep pretending. That's what all you fox news guys do anyway.

By the way, who won the last election?

I'll answer for $1000

'Who is China"?

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER :D

There isn't. It's a very complex issue, and complexity is the perfect fuel for driving conspiracy theories.


I don't know if anybody else's browser will allow them to do this, but if you click on the link and hit ctrl a and ctrl c quickly enough you can paste the whole article into a text app.

Extremely tl;dr version: no, Fauci didn't lie, and the NIH letter doesn't actually even claim that GoF research was done, but Senator Cotton gets around that rather handily by simply working with his own definitions:

“While the letter does not use the phrase ‘gain of function’ to avoid the obvious political consequences, it describes work that matches the commonly accepted definition of ‘gain-of-function’ research, as confirmed by members of the scientific community,” Arnold said. “Senator Cotton said the NIH admitted funding gain-of-function research because the NIH did in fact fund gain-of-function research, whether the letter used that phrase or not.”

I have always believed that the pandemic began in a Wuhan lab and never gave credence to what Fauci said. But was he merely mistaken, or did he lie under oath?

Why isn't "Cruz is wrong" on the table?

Are criminal charges justified? Why?

Nope.

Here is the problem you're facing with Mr. Cruz. While he's not the topic of the OP, every time he opens his mouth, it's either on Fox News, The Steve Bannon BS podcast, or some ranting, loud temper tantrum he spews in a senate hearing.

So, IMO, Ted Cruz has zero credibility. So that's where we have to start.
