There is a co-ordinated criminal deception being perpetrated on the American people by radical Republican lawmakers, aided and abetted by Elon Musk.

They intend to hold a kangaroo court, in an attempt to prosecute one of the most accomplished immunologists of our time.

His crime? Telling the American people the truth, against a backdrop of state sponsored disinformation, bleach and horse worming tablets.

There’s only one criminal in this defamation case and his name is NOT Dr Anthony Fauci.

@politicsusa46
On the maga people. Sane people should know better.

@politicsusa46
Hundreds of Republicans are dying PER DAY because of the anti-vaccine nonsense those anti-science primitives spread and are still spreading.

Hundreds of thousands more of them died during the height of the pandemic, which almost certainly affected the 2022 elections.

They aren't going to succeed in prosecuting Fauci, but they will succeed in convincing more Republican voters to commit stupicide.

Should we try to stop them?

@tofugolem @politicsusa46 it's so puzzling isn't it?! They are anti what could save their lives!

@Zella @[email protected]
I'm not surprised that the Republican voters are swallowing it and causing their own deaths. They are so hopped up on fear from the right-wing safe-space media bubble that they are completely divorced from reality.

What I find odd is all the politicians and pundits killing off their own minions and diminishing their own reach/power.

@tofugolem @Zella
Agreed. In addition, the right is so afraid of 'replacement' & yet want to abolish women's reproductive rights which will result in increased population of the very races they fear are replacing them! Can't see passed the end of their noses. Here & now is all that matters. I watched a Jordon Klepper podcast yesterday that really was revealing - the last of a 6-part series.
@ash @tofugolem
LOVE Jordan Klepper's videos! I need to see if he's here on Mastodon.

@Zella @tofugolem

I searched under his name, found him but there are no posts & he follows no one.

@ash @Zella
Just so we're clear, "replacement theory" comes from white supremacists. It's a big ol' dog whistle for Nazis.
@ash @tofugolem
Well hopefully in time he'll show up here!
@politicsusa46 my good friend died because he lived in Missouri and watched Fox and believed what they told him. He caught COVID and died after ignoring requests from family and friends to get vaccinated. It did not have to be that way. I think the liars are criminally responsible.

@politicsusa46

Not just Dr. Fauci. Elon went after Yoel, too😬

TPM – Talking Points Memo

@politicsusa46 The idea that anyone would attempt to prosecute Fauci for -- what? telling the truth? -- really makes me mad.

What is the best way to push back on this evil nonsense?

@adar He clearly will NOT be prosecuted, this is purely performative, but at the same time a trigger for every unstable lunatic cult member to do him harm.
@politicsusa46 well that didn't take long did it :/
@politicsusa46 Can anything be done to stop this? Can the DOJ be pressured to defend him or take some kind of action against the perpetrators of this egregious lie? I'm afraid they are going to get Dr. Fauci hurt or killed.

@OrangePeel18 It’s performative on the part of the GOP, they are fundraising on it at the expense of an 81 year old man.

Dr Fauci will NOT be prosecuted. The DOJ will not touch any criminal referral from any congressional committee.

@politicsusa46 So it's basically just a show trial like they have in Russia. Nice. It still puts his life at risk though, because that rhetoric radicalizes the cult members, who may act on their hatred.
It's just awful what these sociopaths are doing.
@politicsusa46 perhaps Democrats can use the Kangaroo Courts to illustrate how Trump did everything he could to sabotage federal covid response
@politicsusa46 Dr. fauci is a scientific and honorable man with only one goal in mind. To save lives.
@politicsusa46 Nope - this is all on Musk himself, and he alone bears responsibility. The Republicans who've pursued Fauci for destroying the Trump presidency need to fry in their own separate circles of Hell...

@politicsusa46

I think their goal is to see the billionaires' club of fascists' designated "enemies" assassinated. Like the attack on Speaker Pelosi's husband, they'll cheer and sneer and libel and slander them; like the J6 terrorists, they'll cheer and lionize the violence. Mark my words: Musk's takeover of Twitter is a massive escalation leading the country to an authoritarian tyranny.

@EarthOne @politicsusa46 I hope you're wrong, but I see way to little action happening to stop this trend of craziness.
@Zella @politicsusa46 I'm sorry to be so cynical, but I've heard so...many...times...how DOJ's "Special Counsel" was going to hold Trump accountable. Mueller: "This is how it is. Get used to it." So Trump upped the crime ante to 2 impeachments: Ukraine and Jan. 6, he's protected by corrupt GOP Congress. 2022: he brags that he stole scores of classified docs: DOJ does ZIP. I feel like a rube.

@politicsusa46 I don't understand how this happened.

This is a good fact check of the claim “Fauci lied to congress about gain-of-function research.”
It demonstrates how irresponsible Musk is.

The repeated claim that Fauci lied to Congress about ‘gain-of-function’ research

A recent letter to Congress by the National Institutes of Health about research funding in China has given new life to GOP claims that Anthony S. Fauci misled Congress.

The Washington Post
@Jim_Pembroke @politicsusa46
Before I open that link(and I will), I clearly remember Fauci pretending he never heard of GOF research at the Wuhan lab, we also know that he was involved in funding it. No?
@japaneseknotweed @politicsusa46
I presume you are not asking me to know what you remember.
Instead you seem to be making a claim.
With due respect,
If so, the burden of proof is on you not me.
@Jim_Pembroke @politicsusa46 I am not asking anything of you. I merely commented on your willful blindness.
@japaneseknotweed @politicsusa46
Haha… Did you read the fact check., like you promised. What did you think?
@politicsusa46 I did not boost your important post because of the sinking feeling I got while reading the replies. I know it’s childish and naive but it is actually the first time I’ve encountered these creeps on Mastodon.
@diomedesagonistes Don’t worry, I have shoulders broad enough for the both of us.

Republicans Spin NIH Letter About Coronavirus Gain-of-Function Research - FactCheck.org

Republicans say a letter from a National Institutes of Health official is an admission that the agency funded so-called gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in China, with some falsely linking the work to the pandemic coronavirus. But the research, which the NIH maintains is not gain-of-function, could not have led to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

@Samble16 Thanks so much. This is an excellent piece I’ve bookmarked.

They are really going "witch hunting" aren't they?

Maybe if we get louder en'mass and show larger numbers in the street?
