Fauci is the villain in new GOP campaign ads

Politico

Anthony Fauci has been a GOP target for nearly two years, as the party cast the president’s chief medical adviser as a villain for pandemic-era policies.

Now he’s emerging as a star in Republican campaign commercials.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is appearing in spots across the airwaves this week as primary elections take shape and Republicans seek to tap into his unpopularity with the GOP base.

“I’ve stood strong against the mandates of Dr. Fauci, but I need help. That’s why I’m endorsing Mike Gibbons for Senate,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says in a new TV ad for Gibbons, who’s running in a crowded Republican Senate primary in Ohio. “I know Mike Gibbons will join me in demanding that Fauci is immediately fired and removed from office.”
