Sen. @RandPaul vs. Fauci, Round 8. Sen. Paul drills into Fauci over his emails showing a coordinated campaign to "takedown" the Great Barrington Declaration.

Paul: "Do you really think it’s appropriate to use your $420,000 salary to attack science that doesn’t agree with you?
@RandPaul Paul: "Do you think the lockdown helped our kids? More people have died now under Pres. Biden than did under Pres. Trump. You're the one responsible. You are the architect. You are the lead architect for the response from the government and now 800,000 people have died."
@RandPaul Fauci: “If look at everything I’ve said, you accuse me in a monolithic way, telling people what they need to do. Everything that I’ve said has been in support of the CDC guidelines. Wear a mask, get boosted, get vaccinated –"
@RandPaul Paul: “You’ve advocated that [your opinion] be done by mandate — your infallible opinion be dictated by law.”

Fauci: “This happens every time. You have attacked me without a shred of evidence for anything you say ... He is doing this for political reasons."

Flashback: In 2003, @SenSchumer quoted George Washington and praised the filibuster as helping the Senate be a “cooling saucer”:

“Yes, we are blocking judges by filibuster. That’s part of the hallowed process here of the Founding Fathers saying the Senate is the cooling saucer"
@SenSchumer .@RepJeffries: The filibuster "is dripping in racist history, in defense of slavery and Jim Crow."
@SenSchumer @RepJeffries Flashback: @SenatorDurbin, appearing on This Week on January 21, 2018: Ending the filibuster “would be the end of the Senate”

Next-level @Twitter absurdity. My company’s account — @GrabienMedia — was just suspended for … quoting a congressman (@RepAndyBiggsAZ)
@Twitter @GrabienMedia @RepAndyBiggsAZ As I’ve documented earlier, @TwitterSupport doesn’t have an actual, transparent appeals process. There's no way to verify they actually acknowledge the merits of an appeal.

Thread:

Piece: thefederalist.com/2021/12/03/my-…
@Twitter @GrabienMedia @RepAndyBiggsAZ @TwitterSupport Obviously, in this case, quoting an elected leader on an issue that matters to everyone is important and newsworthy, regardless of whether you agree.

(And I can’t help but add that his basic point was once mainstream among progressives.)
