Senator Gary Peters criticizes Dr. Fauci hearing, says it serves partisan agenda [gUpUISFIXPX]
Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) gave his opening remarks before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing focused on Dr. Anthony Fauci and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and response. In his opening remarks, Sen. Peters took aim at Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and questioned the hearing's integrity as a whole. "This hearing appears to be a culmination of months of biased and selected efforts by the majority, under the guise of a committee investigation, to basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago," said Sen. Peters. Fauci said he had testified more than 200 times over his nearly four decades running the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and that he could not answer questions on the advice of his lawyers. Fauci said in his opening statement that he believed Paul wanted him to testify so he could say something that might justify his arrest. "Unfortunately, I fear the intent of this hearing is only meant to further a purely partisan agenda and it will not make Americans safer," Sen. Peters concluded. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WWMT on Facebook: WWMT on Twitter: Subscribe to WWMT on YouTube: WWMT Daily News Digest: For more information, visit Have a news tip?
