In terms of "they don't bother to lie badly anymore" hosting COVID denialist hearings where people swear Fauci is history's greatest monster but seem incapable of clearly articulating a single charge against him, and where people loudly insist lab leak was "confirmed" while openly presenting no evidence at all, is pretty on the nose
There's a website with "evidence" of lab leak theory, since they're simultaneously arguing that COVID was a deadly manmade bioweapon and also not a big deal. We need to punish China for creating a virus we believe didn't really exist and was a tool of social control. And the evidence is still just pointing to coincidences like a virology lab existing in the same city (a city of 13 million people with lots of things inside it). Despite this people - not even just MAGA! A weird number of other pundits have adopted it! - have decided a smoking gun was found and lab leak was confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt because, uhhhhh, some scientists thought it might be true in the early days of the pandemic. Again, they used to fabricate actual pseudoscience and now they don't even bother
(the closest they've come to articulating an actual sin committed by Fauci of late was that he got some things wrong in the early days of a unprecedented global crisis. Which is a crime I guess)
If it happened it was a Chinese plot but also if it did happen it wasn't so bad but if it happened it was a disaster overseen by Biden but if it happened Trump gave everyone checks and if it happened it
