During an appearance on Fox News, Senator Ted Cruz argued President Biden’s former chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has done “more damage than any other bureaucrat in the history” of the country.
“Dr. Fauci’s behavior on this has been abominable,” Cruz said.
“I think he has done more damage than any bureaucrat in the history of the United States. He has championed policies that have hurt millions of Americans, hurt millions of school kids in particular.”

“And he has also done more to damage the credibility of the United States government when it comes to medical and scientific advice because Dr. Fauci allowed his advice to be politicized,” he continued.
“We know Dr. Fauci in writing asked Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook to suppress references to the origin of COVID being from a Chinese government lab,” he continued.

“I believe Dr. Fauci has lied to Congress, which is a felony, when he has stated that the federal government did not fund gain of function research in in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Cruz said.
“Since then, the National Institutes for Health in writing has contradicted that,” he added.
“And if the Biden Justice Department were enforcing the law, they ought to be investigating Dr. Fauci for lying to Congress, which is a federal crime.”
