Can we stop for a second and truly appreciate the head swagger from the Good Doctor here?

That was truly a magnifique touch on his part, I must say.

[AverageOldGuy]

1. Looks as though . .

. . . the good doc inflicted a HUUUUGE "Fauci Ouchie" on Paul.

[3catwoman3]

2. I said in another thread - Go, Tony the Tiger!

That was GRRRRRRRRRREAT!

Musta felt good, too.

[appmanga]

3. Fauci unleashed!!!

Love it!

[No Vested Interest]

4. So proud of the way Dr. Fauci handles himself.

He's been around long enough to know how to defend himself with being offensive.
He's not a young man - about 80, I think - but he can set many a young man or woman back on their heels as needed.

[Alice Kramden]

5. Excellent riposte by Dr Fauci

In the face of tremendous pressure, intimidation and LIES from Rand Paul

[Grammy23]

6. Dr. Fauci has put up with a lot.

He has maintained his composure and decorum, but that insult by Rand Paul was the last straw. I was cheering since nobody was going to stop him from saying what needed to be said. Yay, Dr. Fauci! Give ‘em hell!

[KentuckyWoman]

12. Including death threats.

Republicans generally are skunks but Rand Paul is a special kind of shithead.

[GB_RN]

7. Glad To See Someone Put "Doctor" Rand Paul

In his place, back at the kiddies’ table.

[Blue Owl]

32. The Rug Doctor sucks

[North Shore Chicago]

36. Tee Hee!

[MontanaMama]

45. That made me laugh out loud.

[Turbineguy]

8. Nobody should have to put up with this kind of shit.

Taking medical advice from Rand Paul is my idea of slow suicide.

[Mr. Evil]

9. This kind of thing needs to happen more often.

Anyone in the media with a shred of humanity and decency should call out all covid 19 and vaccine deniers in this fashion or much more vociferously. No more kid gloves.

Fuck the republican death cult!

[spanone]

10. randy paul, dick of the century.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Not meaning to argue, but........

he's just a 'pube' on the balls of TFG (just my opinion....).

[llmart]

11. OMG! Epic take down.

Short and to the point and in words even Rand can understand.

This just makes my day. About time someone said it.

[Aviation Pro]

13. Akin to the, "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Retort of Joe Welch to that scumbag MaCarthy.

[MyOwnPeace]

23. A worthy mention.....

and quite appropriate!

[Cha]

14. Notice how Dr Fauci at "80" looks Healthier

than the Liar rand paul at "58".

[Pinback]

20. Rand Paul is only 58??

58 going on Grassley. So old to be so immature. What an embarrassing twit.

[Cha]

22. Ikr! Al that unhealthy LYING!

[peppertree]

15. Now THAT's a Fauci Ouchie

[Ohioboy]

16. "And I want to say that officially"

[soldierant]

28. My favorite line also too.

Wonder how much bootleg copies of the Congresional Record with that in it are going for.

All good wishes, campaign funds, and votes to Charles Booker!

[Joinfortmill]

17. Love Dr. Fauci

[Vdizzle]

18. It was a great day when that man's (Paul) neighbor decked him for being a shitty neighbor.

It was, I’m sure, a long time comin’…

24. I have never seen Fauci so mad

but he was controlled and clearly owned Paul...

[Buckeye_Democrat]

27. Yep!

[elleng]

35. Don't think I've ever seen him mad at all;

an unaccustomed way to be for him.

[monkeyman1]

25. he squashed rand like a cockroach that he is ! hope kentucky is proud of this parasite !

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. I just imagined Fauci saying, "Oh no, you didn't!"

While waving a finger in the air too. Lol.

[KT2000]

31. Ha! Me too!

If it lasted much longer maybe he would have done that.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. Yeah, he didn't quite bob his head enough anyway.

He had a decent start while saying, "You do not know what you are talking about!"

So glad to see Fauci finally get flabbergasted by the nonsense!

[TalenaGor]

29. biggest fauchi ouchie ever

[czarjak]

30. Shit-Stirrer. The Eddie Haskell of senators.

[Evolve Dammit]

41. Don't be mean to Eddie

[Demovictory9]

34. wonderful

[2naSalit]

37. And that is how it's done.

[The Jungle 1]

38. Fauci is a tough and smart American hero.

He is forced to fight fellow Americans to establish the truth. He has done a brilliant job of it.

[Trueblue Texan]

39. I LOVED This!!!

And I especially loved that he stated he wanted to say it officially! HAR! HAR! Yay, Dr. Fauci!!

[NCjack]

40. Fauci is "The Man." Rand is the reptile.

[raccoon]

42. Give em hell, Tony! Nt

[YoshidaYui]

43. Love Fauchi

If anything he deserves a medal.

[LymphocyteLover]

44. Fauci is over 20 years younger than Paul but wow, their ages look reversed here

Rand is a mess.

[Tommy Carcetti]

46. Someone more talented than myself ought to do to this clip like what they did to Hillary's shimmy.

I admit it's rather bittersweet seeing this--I remember when it came out after the debate enjoying it and looking forward to President Hillary Clinton and a long slide into obscurity for Donald Trump.
