Senator Rand Paul Says ‘History Is Going To Judge’ Dr. Fauci ‘Very Poorly’, Expresses Concern Over Secret Chinese Police Stations In The US

The good Kentucky senator, Dr. Rand Paul, was on the show ‘Fox & Friends‘ being interviewed about secret Chinese police stations in the United States (as the FBI has arrested individuals over this recently) and on updates on the origins of COVID-19, according to Breitbart News. Rand used the latter topic to open up against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, and his role in the outbreak. “I think Fauci deserves culpability and history is going to judge him very poorly because he made the judgment to fund this research [in Wuhan, China where the pandemic started]. It’s dangerous research,” said Dr. Paul.

The Republican lawmaker continued by saying that “He [Fauci] doesn’t want to call it gain of function, but most other scientists do call it gain of function, in Wuhan, in an opaque totalitarian country. And in the end, there was a leak from the lab and millions of people died worldwide.”

On the first issue, Senator Paul remarked that “it is something we need to get to the bottom of and obviously something we can’t tolerate but…in doing it [prosecuting this] I think we also show how we are different than their country [China]. There still is a presumption of innocence so when these people are Chinese American US citizens so they will get a court trial. They will get a lawyer and a real administration of justice not just an edict from government but if true these police stations…should be closed down.”

He further emphasized that “as we are often angry with China [it is important] that we don’t become China in the process…we have the presumption of innocence in our country and they [the accused] will get a real trial with a jury that we won’t give them summary judgement as they do in authoritarian countries.”

The Heritage Foundation’s China expert Michael Cunningham was also asked about the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas police stations in an interview with the Daily Signal. Mr. Cunningham said about this matter that “[t]he overseas police stations, it’s just part of the bigger problem. So, these stations, ostensibly, they’re there to help out Chinese citizens overseas with their various clerical issues that in China they would go to the police station for, which generally should be housed in an embassy. So what we see, though, in these police stations is, regardless of what they’re doing, these are police functions that are being done in an unregistered location. It’s a complete disregard of U.S. sovereignty.”

He also commented that “The other thing I would say about it is they’re not just doing these benign clerical procedures there. I’m glad that the FBI really investigated it before going after these people because they documented some of what was going on and how they had direct contact with the Ministry of Public Security, the national police force in China. They were being directed by the Chinese police authorities and they were literally going after people, dissidents, harassing them, surveilling them.”
