Rand Paul Self-Identifies as a White Supremacist

"If you read his speech and listen to it carefully, much of it is thinly-veiled innuendo calling us white supremacists, calling us racists, calling us every name in the book, calling us people that don't tell the truth," he said.

If what you took away from the speech, Rand, is that you're racist and a liar, well, maybe you are. For it clear to any dispassionate observer that all of those adjectives applied to the Trump Administration.

And then there is this, which should come as no surprise to anyone with a functioning cortex:[1]

Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation’s top public health experts, signaled that he feels free to speak honestly about Covid-19 now that former President Donald Trump is out of office.

In his first news briefing since President Joe Biden was sworn in, Fauci said that the new administration was committed to being "completely transparent, open and honest," a sharp break from the Trump White House when Fauci said he often felt there would be repercussions for speaking honestly about the pandemic.

"It was very clear that there were things said, be it regarding things like hydroxychloroquine and other things like that, that really was uncomfortable because they were not based in scientific fact," Fauci told reporters of the Trump administration.

"The idea that you can get up and talk about what you know, what the evidence is, what the science is," Fauci continued, "it is somewhat of a liberating feeling."

Getting information about the pandemic that hasn't been filtered by Trumpist politruks will be a nice change. So will be opening the morning paper and not steeling oneself to read about what stupid or racist shit our previous president had done the day before.
