Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul said his family has received death threats for being "outspoken" in his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has taken a lead role under both the Trump and Biden administrations in the battle against COVID-19"This week, I’ve had five death threats just for being outspoken on it," Paul said Friday night in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. But as a repercussion, my family had white powder sent to our house, and five death threats phoned in." In late May the senator received a threatening package containing white powder and an image of Paul bruised and bandaged with a gun to his head. "I take these threats immensely seriously," Paul wrote in a statement on May 24. "I have been targeted multiple times now, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to advocate for violence against me and my family.
