Candidates who sign the pledge will also \u201csponsor and support legislation\u201d that dwindles Fauci\u2019s massive taxpayer-funded salary down to zero dollars per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI created the Public Health Protection Pledge because Dr. Fauci has repeatedly proven himself to be dishonest and incompetent in his handling of public health policy,\u201d Knowles told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past two years, Dr. Fauci has lied repeatedly to the American people and even to Congress about the COVID-19 pandemic. But his record of failure and scandal dates back to the 1980s, and he should have been fired long ago,\u201d he added. \u201cCongress does not have the power to fire Fauci, but they can defund him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knowles borrowed the idea from the Taxpayer Protection Pledge \u2013 a pledge started by Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist that candidates and officials sign promising to not raise taxes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a simple pledge, and it\u2019s simple enough to tell when a candidate breaks it,\u201d Knowles explained. \u201cThe Public Health Protection Pledge is even simpler in that it requires only two votes: investigate Fauci and defund his salary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Knowles shared his pledge via Twitter, saying, \u201cI will not vote for any federal candidate in 2022 who does not promise to investigate and defund Dr. Fauci. And you shouldn\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTag your congressmen, senators, and candidates, and tell them to sign the Public Health Protection Pledge!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I will not vote for any federal candidate in 2022 who does not promise to investigate and defund Dr. Fauci.
