A crowd of attendees at CPAC jeered and shouted “lock him up” when an image of former NIAID chief Dr Anthony Fauci appeared on screen during the event.

The moment occurred when Sens Ted Cruz and JD Vance joined the event for a live taping of The Verdict, Mr Cruz’s podcast.

Their discussion focused on the origins of Covid and the news coverage of the theory which posits that the virus was accidentally released from a Wuhan virology lab.

As coverage of the theory from liberal-leaning news outlets appeared onscreen to scattered boos, the audience erupted into shouts and boos when the former White House expert on infectious disease joined the montage.
