On the latest episode of The Hill’s “Rising,” journalist and political commentator Kim Iversen said if Dr. Anthony Fauci lied to Congress about the National Institutes of Health funding gain-of-function research, that’s a criminal offense.

On the latest episode of The Hill’s “Rising,” journalist and political commentator Kim Iversen took a look at Dr. Anthony Fauci’s track record of lying, moving the goalposts and giving the public mixed messages.

“Why hasn’t Fauci been fired yet?” she asked.  

Iversen recalled when Fauci sat before Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and “snarkily resisted” the idea that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) had funded any gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. 

“In fact,” said Iversen, “Fauci insisted the only person lying during the heated exchange was Senator Rand Paul himself.”
