Oz's anti-Fauci campaign ad was released only days after the NIAID director accused Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) of using his name for 'political gain.'
Fauci accused Oz's potential future Republican Senate colleague Paul of using his name to evoke conservative furor as a fundraising tactic during a hearing on Tuesday.
"You personally attack me, and with absolutely not a shred of evidence of anything you say," Fauci told Paul at the Senate Health Committee hearing."So, I would like to make something clear to the committee, he's doing this for political reasons." "Go to [the] Rand Paul website and you see 'fire Dr. Fauci' with a little box that says, 'contribute here,'" he added."You can do $5, $10, $20, $100. So, you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain."
Not long after the hearing, Paul's campaign sent out a new fundraising email titled"Fauci is hysterical," which asked supporters to"Chip in if you agree!"
