Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been one of the few politicians who has regularly questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci’s decision-making during the coronavirus pandemic. In a new interview on “The Ingraham Angle,” Paul once again blasted Fauci for his public health recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that he spreads “noble lies.”
Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham asked Paul, “Senator, you have been one of the few lawmakers to directly call out Dr. Fauci’s lies. Are people afraid to question him? And if so, why?”
Paul responded, “Well, it’s the science — and people are afraid of, you know, scientists, and he’s put on a pedestal.”
“But you have to remember that his lies are noble lies, Laura. He’s not telling you this because he’s a mean man,” the Kentucky senator continued. “He’s telling you this because he feels sorry for you because you don’t understand, and Americans aren’t smart enough to make informed decisions. So, he fashions himself some sort of Greek philosopher. He tells you these noble lies.”
