I think we should investigate Tony Fauci and what he did – to America, to our businesses, to lives – by his actions and his guidance. And second, did he lie on the floor of Congress when he was questioned? I think we should investigate China and what they did, spreading this virus throughout the world – the loss of millions of lives. The businesses that couldn’t make it because of this pandemic and the loss of family members and friends is tragic; I think they owe us trillions of dollars in reparations.
