Steve Cortes, spokesman for the Never Back Down PAC, praised podcaster Megyn Kelly for challenging Donald Trump on his presidential commendation to Tony Fauci for COVID MRNA injection. 

"It wasn’t just that Fauci should’ve been fired (and could’ve been), it was elevating him to national stardom, keeping him on the White House task force, handing him the media platform to abuse America," Cortes posted on X. "Fauci was a malevolent megalomaniac."

Cortes also shared a video clip of Kelly questioning Trump over the then-President's provision of an award to Fauci for his role in "Operation Warp Speed." Fauci is the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and was the leading proponent of "COVID" lockdowns and vaccine and mask mandates under Trump and President Joe Biden.

That "operation" was "a federal effort that supported multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates to speed up development."

The MRNA injections are more commonly known as “COVID-19 vaccines.” Dr. David Martin, founder and chairman of M-CAM Inc, said the “vaccines” are actually gene therapy.

“It is not a vaccine. What is this doing? It’s sending a strand of synthetic RNA into the human being and is invoking within the human being, the creation of the S1 spike protein, which is a pathogen,” Martin told the Weston A. Price Foundation. “It’s a toxin inside of human beings. This is not only not keeping you from getting sick, it’s making your body produce the thing that makes you sick.”

Nationwide, 14,846 have died after receiving a "COVID-19" MRNA injection, according to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), as of September 2023. 

VAERS is a U.S. government database that collects and monitors reports of adverse events or side effects following vaccination, helping to track and assess the safety of vaccines. The system is owned and operated by multiple U.S. federal agencies, primarily the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

By the admission of its creators, VAERS also underreports adverse events.

“Underreporting’ refers to the fact that VAERS receives reports for only a small fraction of actual adverse events,” says the VAERS website. “The degree of underreporting varies widely.”

Dr. Peter A. McCullough, a respected cardiologist and epidemiologist, has warned about adverse reactions from the COVID-19 MRNA injections.

"It's my judgment at this point in time that the vaccine is the cause of death in a majority of cases," said McCullough. "I think it's fine for people to change their view of the vaccine and they should based on emerging data."

'McCullough is an internationally recognized medical researcher in the field of the interactions between kidney function and heart function and related diseases, with more than 1,000 articles published, according to his biography at the information website Radcliffe Cardiology.

The Never Back Down PAC is supportive of the presidential campaign of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.). Cortes is also founder of the League of American Workers, an organization he says "promotes policies to protect the priorities of laborers." Previously, he served as senior spokesman and strategist for the Trump 2016 and 2020 campaigns. 

Prior to entering politics, Cortes traded global currencies and interest rates for 25 years for large international hedge funds. He has been an on-air broadcaster for CNBC, Fox News, and CNN.
