.MaddowBlog: During pandemic, Sen. Paul stands out (but not in a good way)
Rand Paul said at yesterday's committee hearing yesterday, for example,"I think we ought to have a little bit of humility in our belief that we know what's best for the economy. And as much as I respect you, Dr. Fauci, I don't think you're the end-all, I don't think you're the one person that gets to make a decision.
Fauci responded,"I have never made myself out to be the end-all and only voice in this. I'm a scientist, a physician, and a public health official. I give advice according to the best scientific evidence." Nevertheless, Paul had quite a bit to say yesterday, arguing that he doesn't expect a surge in coronavirus cases, the crisis has been"relatively benign" outside of"New England," and school closings have been"kind of ridiculous."
I'm going to assume the Senate Republican is confused about which states are actually in New England. It also seems likely that he hasn't seen,"The history of this, when we look back, will be of wrong prediction after wrong prediction after wrong prediction." Speaking of wrong predictions, watching the Kentucky lawmaker yesterday, it was hard not to reflect on a similar display from Rand Paul during a public-health emergency in 2014 -- except at that time, instead of trying to downplay a viral threat, the GOP senator was doing the exact opposite.
