Cruz wants Fauci prosecuted.
During the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) went off on Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress; “in any sane system, he would be prosecuted,” Cruz said.
“There has been no person who has done more to destroy trust in the scientific and medical community than Dr. Anthony Fauci, who told millions of Americans lies willingly, knowingly, glibly and supremely arrogantly,” Cruz told the crowd at CPAC.

From The New York Post:
Fauci — who retired at the end of last year after more than five decades in government – has long dismissed the so-called “lab-leak theory” of COVID-19’s origin, calling it at one point a “shiny object that will go away in times.”
On numerous occasions he also put forth that “the most likely origin” of the virus “is from an animal species to a human,” and has claimed that it was “molecularly impossible” for the viruses being worked on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to have mutated into the one responsible for the pandemic.
Fauci has also been accused by Republicans of lying about funding the National Institutes of Health provided the Wuhan laboratory for “gain-of-function” research.
