Rand Paul says family has received death threats over Fauci criticism

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul said his family has received death threats for being “outspoken” in his criticism of chief medical advisor to President Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Paul has been consistently critical of the top doctor throughout the pandemic, most recently alleging Fauci lied about taxpayer funds being used for "gain of function" research -- the process in which a virus is modified to make it more infectious. Following the release of thousands of emails revealing the top doctor’s communications from the early stages of the pandemic, Fauci found himself in hot water with Republicans on the Hill this week.
