Florida Gov Ron DeSantis has promised to hold Dr Anthony Fauci’s feet to the fire if he reaches the White House next year.
DeSantis, who is polling a distant 12 percent among Republican voters behind third-time Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s 60 percent, became a household name during the throes of the Covid pandemic when he vowed to save his state from what he called a 'Faucian dystopia.'
He told his 2.2 million followers on X, formerly Twitter: ‘I am the only candidate who will bring a reckoning for what tyrants like Fauci did to our country during COVID.’
The governor’s statement came in the aftermath of Dr Fauci’s disastrous 14-hour meeting before a House coronavirus subcommittee, during which he is said to have failed to answer hundreds of questions and muddied the US’ and his personal roles in funding risky research on viruses.
