Ted Cruz called Fauci the most damaging bureaucrat in American history, then demanded he be held in contempt, prosecuted and sent to jailSen. Ted Cruz is calling for Anthony Fauci to be held in contempt of Congress, prosecuted for perjury, and jailed following a Senate hearing in which the former White House COVID-19 advisor invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 100 times.
He said Fauci has shown contempt for Congress and the public throughout his career, pointing to diary entries Cruz says show inconsistencies between what Fauci privately noted and what he told the public.
Cruz and Fauci have clashed repeatedly in the past over the government’s pandemic response and the origins of Covid-19.
Cruz also accused Fauci of privately taking credit for pushing school closures in New York and California while publicly denying involvement in those decisions.
He maintained that Fauci should face contempt charges, perjury prosecution, and jail time over what Cruz described as knowingly misleading the public.
