Rand Paul (R-KY) explained during a Tuesday interview why he believes Dr. Anthony Fauci epitomizes the condescending attitude the liberal elite hold toward the average person.<\/p>\n<p>Just hours after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/you-do-not-know-what-you-are-talking-about-fauci-lashes-out-at-sen-rand-paul-for-suggesting-he-lied-to-congress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tense clash<\/a> with Fauci on Capitol Hill, during which he accused the nation\u2019s top infectious diseases expert of lying to Congress, Paul told podcast host Brad Polumbo (video below) that he doubts the sincerity of Fauci\u2019s motives more than he did at the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the beginning of this, I said repeatedly that I didn\u2019t question his motives, that I thought his motives were good. I still think his motives are good, but I actually am starting to question the sincerity of what he\u2019s doing, and that it\u2019s not all for the betterment of mankind,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n<p>Citing information in the trove of Fauci\u2019s private emails that Buzzfeed made public in June, Paul said he believes Fauci has \u201cbeen covering his ass\u201d since late July 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe became very alarmed that this could have come from the lab, he was getting reports of gain-of-function research, and he circled the wagon with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/it-looks-like-a-cover-up-sen-paul-blasts-media-figures-who-yuk-it-up-with-fauci-instead-of-asking-hard-questions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peter Daszak<\/a>,\u201d said Paul. \u201cAnd they did come together privately through email to talk about how to put the best spin on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sen-josh-hawley-calls-on-fauci-to-resign-after-e-mail-dump-demands-full-investigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sen. Josh Hawley Calls On Fauci To Resign After E-Mail Dump, Demands Full Investigation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I do think that he\u2019s been giving us shades of the truth from the very beginning, but I also think that he is predictable as an elitist,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cPeople on the Left believe they know better than you and they think that the common man\u2019s too stupid to make their own decisions, so these decisions need to be made by their betters. And I truly think that he believes that he knows better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul went on to allege that Fauci is \u201cokay with lying because he thinks the lie is for the betterment of mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe calculates what the people need to hear and he tells them that regardless of whether it\u2019s true,\u201d Paul added.<\/p>\n<p>Extrapolating Paul\u2019s insight, Polumbo asked him what Fauci\u2019s \u201chubris\u201d suggests about other self-professed experts, such as those in the White House and Silicon Valley who consider themselves qualified to squelch what they deem \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referencing economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.econlib.org\/library\/Essays\/hykKnw.html?chapter_num=1#book-reader\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Friedrich A. Hayek<\/a>\u2018s idea that economies function best when knowledge is dispersed among many different people, Paul said such a principle also holds true for science and other areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now have a groupthink on COVID because Fauci controls all the funding,\u201d Paul observed. Noting a similar situation exists with government funding of climate change research, Paul warned that the silencing of dissenting voices threatens to expand into other issues. \u201cSo climate change or alarmism was the beginning, the COVID\u2026regime is the next, but it gets worse from here if we\u2019re not careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH (relevant portion begins around 8:50 mark):<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rand Paul: Fauci Lied.
