Fauci should be prosecuted; 'innocent people' don't plead the Fifth: Sen Josh Hawley

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., discusses Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony and calls for him to be held in contempt on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’

Anthony Fauci must face contempt of Congress, federal prosecution, and potentially arrest by the Senate sergeant-at-arms. And then, every state that had dealings with him should pursue charges independently.

This week, Fauci, the self-proclaimed final arbiter of science, transformed from a big man of too many words to a little one of almost none. Fauci asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when called before Congress. Congressional Republicans rightly want answers over Fauci's gross mismanagement, at best, and lies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted billions, killed millions and destroyed millions more. Fauci refused to testify before Congress even after receiving a Biden pardon. His lawless cowardice should not end his legal jeopardy. The pursuit of justice must intensify.

Kennedy said Fauci is to blame for Americans’ lack of trust in public health........
