Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that Donald Trump is planning to imprison Dr. Anthony Fauci for life when he wins the Presidency later this year.

During a speech at the Turning Point USA People’s Convention in Detroit on Saturday, Rep. Greene announced that Fauci “should be tried for crimes against humanity” for his role in the COVID pandemic.

“I was in Washington, D.C., and I’ll never forget when the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi, as speaker of the House, brought in nearly 30,000 National Guardsmen and turned our Capitol complex into a military base,” Greene told the crowd.

“And you weren’t allowed in there. The American people weren’t allowed in there. And then they proceeded to shut down the country over Covid. They masked schoolchildren. They shut down schools. They closed beaches. They silenced your speech. They kicked you out of social media. They attacked the very core of our freedoms, all for a virus that they made in a lab in Wuhan, China.”

“And yes, Doctor Anthony Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity,” Greene added, before pausing as a loud chant of “Lock him up!” spread through the audience.

“Well, I can assure you, if I have anything to do with it, we will lock him up. He belongs in prison!”

Infowars.com reports: Fauci’s record before and during the pandemic has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. On 3 June he testified before the US House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. He labelled claims that he had presided over a cover-up of COVID-19’s origins “simply preposterous.”

During his appearance before the Subcommittee, Rep. Greene refused to call Dr Fauci by his title, insisting that he didn’t deserve it.

“We should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity,” she told Fauci.

“You belong in prison.”

Before the end of the year, the subcommittee will release a final report with the findings and recommendations of its two-year investigation.
