Why is it so personal between you two?\u201d Hemmer asked, noting that both Paul and Fauci had made accusations against each other during the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the thing is, he has made it very personal,\u201d Paul replied, accusing Fauci of using his position to go after scientists who dared to disagree with him. \u201cHe makes over $400,000 a year to go after specific scientists, denigrate them, smear them, call them fringe. The three scientists he went after work at Stanford, Harvard and Oxford.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was ready for that question yesterday and he hit you back,\u201d Hemmer pointed out, saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/a-catastrophic-epidemic-for-your-political-gain-fauci-comes-to-covid-hearing-with-opposition-research-on-rand-paul\/\">Fauci<\/a> had slammed Paul for raising money on his website \u2014 where he also lists firing Fauci as one of his primary issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t answer the question why is he smearing these three doctors? I\u2019m proud of the fact people go to RandPaul.com raising money to fire Fauci because he is a menace,\u201d Paul shot back. \u201cEverything he said has been incorrect. And I think he is part of the problem. Even from the very beginning the fact that this virus came from a lab in Wuhan he has denied it and worked to cover it up and denigrated anybody who raises this question as a conspiracy theorist. So yes, he is a partisan politician and he has no place in any objective role over the pandemic and yeah, it\u2019s a political thing. Whoever wins the election will make the decision whether he stays or goes or whether we investigate where the virus came from in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">DR. \u2018MENACE\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RandPaul?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RandPaul<\/a> reacts to Fauci lashing out at him during Tuesday\u2019s hearing: \u2018We go after him personally because he attacked others personally with his office.\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gp6hdm9tRL\">pic.twitter.com\/gp6hdm9tRL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/1481170330383126530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s main contention with Fauci during Tuesday\u2019s hearing was that he had joined with former National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins in supporting a \u201cpublished takedown\u201d of prominent epidemiologists who argued in favor of governments taking a more measured and targeted approach to the spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cheap-politics-rand-paul-puts-fauci-on-blast-during-heated-senate-showdown\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn an email exchange with Dr. Collins, you conspire, and I quote here directly from the email, to \u2018create a quick and devastating published takedown\u2019 of three prominent epidemiologists from Harvard, Oxford and Stanford,\u201d Paul continued.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/a-whole-host-of-cardinal-sins-desantis-says-fauci-biden-try-to-find-scapegoats-to-mask-covid-failures\/\">Fauci<\/a> objected, saying that the email had been written by Collins \u2014 at which point Paul argued that Fauci could have responded differently instead of allowing the requested \u201ctakedown\u201d to proceed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cA published takedown, though, you know doesn\u2019t exactly conjure up the image of a dispassionate scientist,\u201d Paul added. \u201cInstead of engaging them on the merits, you and Dr. Collins sought to smear them as \u2018fringe\u2019 and take them down \u2014 and not in journals, in lay press.
