This could shake up D.C. in a big way.
A new bill has been introduced that would fire Dr. Anthony Fauci from his position as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Fauci has served as a White House adviser on COVID-19 under Joe Biden as well as former President Donald Trump.
An explosive new bill, which is titled “Fauci’s Incompetence Requires Early Dismissal Act” is being introduced by Republican Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio.
The FIRED Act, which will likely never pass in the Democrat-controlled House, seeks to impose a retroactive 12-year term limit on the job Fauci has held since 1984.
“Few people have earned their termination more visibly,” Davidson said in a statement, according to Fox News.
Republican Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina are among the bill’s co-sponsors.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky explained why he supported that bill.
“The fact that Fauci was ever paid with tax-payer money is an embarrassment to the United States of America. We should #FireFauci,” he wrote.
“The bill also directs the Government Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an audit of the policy memos and correspondence within the NIAID. The audit will allow us to see what they knew about COVID-19, when they knew it, and how they responded internally to the disease,” he added.
Massie said Fauci should have been booted by former President Donald Trump over the conflicting and faulty advice Fauci gave Trump.
“I believe that Trump did a lot of great things for the country, but this is one of his mistakes, letting Dr. Fauci provide the imprimatur of science to all of the governors and encouraging all of them to kill our economy,” he said.
The walls may be starting to close in on Fauci, who is now facing questions over his role in approving funding of research at the Chinese lab that the coronavirus may have escaped from.
The article by Nicholas Wade makes the case that the virus likely did come from the lab and that Fauci who was in charge of disbursing grant money approved funding the “gain of function” research that had been banned under the Obama administration.
Carlson broke the mold by asking a very serious question: “why isn’t there a criminal investigation into Tony Fauci’s role in this pandemic?”
According to Carlson, “Millions of people have died of COVID-19. So it’s not a matter of score-settling or blame assignment to figure out where it came from. If you want to prevent the next global pandemic, you have to figure out how this one started.”
