Americans for Limited Government loses faith in Fauci and calls for his removal
Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government (ALG) is promoting an online campaign urging our members and supporters to support the Fauci’s Incompetence Requires Early Dismissal (FIRED) Act.
The bill would impose a retroactive 12-year term limit on the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci’s official post. The top scientist has held the job since 1984, so if the bill were to be signed into law he would be forced out of his job.
ALG President Rick Manning issued the following statement calling for Fauci’s removal:
“Dr. Fauci’s response to this pandemic has been a disaster and he must be dismissed. Fauci has not been open and transparent with the American people about the origins of the deadly Covid-19 virus. His muddled messaging on the value of masks has cost him credibility. Now, as more evidence emerges that the virus may have come from the notorious Wuhan lab, something Fauci denied was even possible, it is clear that Fauci is part of the problem. Clearly Fauci knew there was a strong possibly the virus could have emerged from the Wuhan lab which he had funded. Fauci must be fired. He has spent the last year scoffing at and denying the Wuhan lab-leak theory and as a result we haven’t had an honest investigation, possibly costing millions of lives. An intense investigation into the origins of the virus will be essential to preventing future pandemics. Unfortunately, due to Dr. Fauci’s decision that ousting Trump was more important than getting to the truth, we are 13-15 months behind in preventing another world-wide pandemic that experts fear.”
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who introduced the FIRED Act, told ALG, “Dr. Fauci represents everything that President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address: the scientific-technical elite steering the country toward their own ends. Americans have had decades of Dr. Fauci’s leadership, and he publicly failed to respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is time for him to step aside so that new leadership can ‘follow the science’ and start reopening America.”
