Senate Committee Votes To Hold Fauci In Contempt
A committee chaired by Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress Thursday morning.
Source excerpt
The Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee voted 8 to 7 to hold Fauci in contempt of the body, with all Republicans voting “aye” and all Democrats voting “nay.”
A subpoena with no consequences is not a subpoena, it’s a suggestion.
Accountability is what stands between the American people and a repeat of the mistakes and the very real consequences of the past,” Paul said at the Thursday hearing.
Paul said that votes to hold witnesses in contempt should be rare, but that it was Congress’s constitutional duty to apply oversight to the executive branch, especially when a witness is issued a sweeping pardon.
