WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵

Fauci was caring for patients with AIDS when others wouldn't even touch them. He fought harmful information with facts. He warned about the risk of a pandemic for years. We are in the upside down. A scientist is on trial, but a pedophile, rapist, felon isn’t. I stand with Fauci.

Split image: Left shows Dr. Anthony Fauci in a suit, holding papers. Right depicts distressed hospital staff attending to a patient. Text at bottom reflects on Faucis AIDS work and current criticism, affirming the authors support.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.
