Right-wingers are demanding that Anthony Fauci be brought up on charges after President Donald Trump said he revoked all of President Joe Biden‘s autopen-signed executive orders and pardons.
Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly 40 years, received an autopen-signed pardon right before Trump retook the White House on January 20.
Because Trump has long argued that the autopen signatures should not be treated as authentic – while also factoring in Biden’s cognitive decline – Republicans are voicing their belief that Fauci could be prosecuted for alleged wrongdoing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Marjorie Taylor Greene led the charge, writing on X Friday that if ‘autopen pardons are repealed then prosecute Fauci for crimes against humanity’. The Daily Mail approached Greene’s office for further comment.
Nicolas Hulscher, an epidemiologist who works with the McCullough Foundation, said it was ‘time to PROSECUTE Anthony Fauci.’
The McCullough Foundation is known in part for spreading the unsubstantiated claim that vaccines are leading cause of autism.
Another account on X pointed out that Fauci has been referred for criminal charges by Senator Rand Paul, who claims the doctor lied to Congress about gain of function research in Wuhan, China.
Some US intelligence agencies, including the FBI, CIA and Energy Department, all believe with varying degrees of confidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
