Libertarians' worst promoter: Senator Rand Paul

Today's (1-11-22)  C-Span hearing with Anthony Fauci...had comments/questions and assertions by this libertarian Senator.   https://www.c-span.org/video/?517046-1/drs-walensky-fauci-testify-response-covid-19-variants   JANUARY 11, 2022   Drs. Walensky, Fauci, and Others Testify on Response to COVID-19 Variants

Dr. Anthony Fauci, along with CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and others, testified on the federal response to new COVID-19 variants before the Senate Health Committee.

In my opinion, Senator Rand Paul disgraced the libertarian movement and endangered US national security instead of using precious time to address a tsunami of urgent issues before humanity.

Senator Paul made more flawed assertions, misquotes, and demeaning, inflammatory, degrading, false, and deplorable comments than I have ever heard in listing to C-span for the last 30 years.  He did this repeatedly interrupting Fauci’s answers and his attempts to refute with facts what the Senator did NOT want to hear. 

Fauci gave a legitimate detailed report of one man apprehended on his way to DC traveling all the way across the nation with AR15 and sufficient ammunition to kill a hundred members of Congress.  But he stated he had the singular intention of killing Fauci and all of his family.   The Senator did not express any concern for Fauci or this family.  He simply went on continuing his angry, partisan, delusional rant until shut down by the Ctee chair.    

Any true libertarian would know that the essential human characteristic to ensure the preservation of humanity's freedoms is for individuals to put responsibility and virtue at the top of their personal behaviors and words.

As a new Rotarian, I will try to live by their 4 foundation questions.  1.  Is it true?  2.  Is it fair?  3. Does it build goodwill?  4.  Does it benefit everyone?   Paul used his precious time doing none of these.  Instead of meaningfully addressing the greatest killer of Americans today, preparing for the next variant or pandemic, or other serious and urgent national security threats we all face he gave the worst advertisement for anyone professing to be a libertarian.
