EXCLUSIVE: Rand Paul to target ‘COVID cover-up’ as head of Senate Homeland Security committee

Sen. Rand Paul will take over the chairmanship of the upper chamber’s Homeland Security Committee starting in January after two years as the panel’s top Republican — and he’s told The Post he wants to uncover the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I chose to chair this committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role,” Paul (R-Ky.) said in an exclusive interview Wednesday. “This committee’s mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself.”

“I think we’re on the cusp of, really, the beginning of uncovering what happened with COVID,” the 61-year-old added.

After years of subpoenaing government agencies about research grants and funding related to the origins of the coronavirus, Paul believes his newfound power — coupled with a sympathetic president in the White House come Jan. 20 — will help promote transparency.

He's the best person in the Senate to be questioning Fauxi. A physician who's actually treated patients...and who knows how to read a scientific paper...vs a desk jockey with a medical diploma.

Fantastic! Rand can do some damage here. Paul has wanted to repeal the Homeland Security Act since 2002.

Hopefully the end will include trials and jail for Fauci and other conspirators. Their lives need to be as destroyed as ours were.

My wife’s heavily vaccinated uncle died yesterday of something. They basically told the family that he’s sick of something and will die. He died of the Covid shot.

Great! I suspect there will be a lot of interesting soundbites generated for Fox news.

To: RandFan

You’re a good guy, you know that :)

Maybe a bit more libertarian than conservative but that’s ok.

Coming from NYC, my idea of right wing probably isn’t the same as someone from Alabama.

But we all root and vote for the same side :)

I hope the handcuffs are finally taken off Senator Paul so he can finally do what needs to be done.

Isn’t it amazing that where you live dictates to those in your area what you are?

We on Staten Island are called “rednecks” by the other 4 boroughs.

We’re hardcore right wing fanatics!!

70 percent here are folks of Italian descent and they call us rednecks.

And we’re damn proud!!

But like I said, in the deep south, we’d be considered “acceptable” republicans :)

But every vote counted! And we sent our Greek house rep. back to DC :)
