Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) attacked now-former CDC vaccine chief Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned last week in protest of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying he had “no business being in government” due to the “lifestyle” he led.

Via The Hill:
“One of the guys that is the biggest proponent of doing all this is the guy who describes the risky behavior that he and his lifestyle involve. He describes that as that may be risky behavior to you, that just brings us joy.”
“A guy that is so far … out of the mainstream, I think most people in America would discount his opinion because of the things he said in the past. He does not represent the mainstream of anything in America.”
“He should have never had a position in government. And he brags about his lifestyle, you know, this whole idea of bondage and, you know, multiple partners and all that stuff. He brags about that stuff, but he’s got no business being in government. It’s good riddance.”
The Hill also notes that Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) attacked Daskalakis for his personal life this weekend, calling him a “BDSM Satan worshipper.”
Ah, homophobia… Are Republicans planning on bringing back the Red Scare?
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 current and former employees of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are demanding that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. resign, following his actions they say are “compromising the health of the nation.”
On CNN, GOP Rep Buddy Carter (GA) went after Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, a respected former top public health professional at the CDC, as a “BDSM Satan worshipper.” I didn’t realize tattoos and extremely unsubtle anti-gay innuendo counted more than decades of experience in public… pic.twitter.com/pCnjJnhEi0
