(Daily Caller)—Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated during a Monday interview for the creation of “a truth commission” to hold former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director Anthony Fauci accountable for his actions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Former President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Fauci in the final hours of his presidency on Jan. 20. Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson remarked on “The Tucker Carlson Show” that it seemed as though Fauci was currently “beyond the reach of the law,” which Kennedy said he “generally” agreed with, before suggesting a “truth commission.”
“Yeah, I think generally, unless there was a truth commission, which they did, and as you know, in South Africa, they did it in Central America after the 1980s wars there,” Kennedy said. “And they were very, very helpful to those societies. And I think we should probably do something like that now.”
“And in those cases, what happens is you have a commission that hears testimony on what exactly happened. Anybody who comes and volunteers to testify truthfully is then given immunity from prosecution,” he continued. “But so that at least the public knows who did what. And people who are called and don’t take that deal and perjure themselves, they then can be prosecuted criminally.”
Fauci’s pardon spans back to 2014, covering his tenure as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force and his time as chief medical advisor to Biden. Fauci has faced accusations of lying to Congress and evading Freedom of Information Act requests.
