A woman seated behind Senator Rand Paul during a Republican-led committee's questioning of Anthony Fauci on Wednesday inadvertently set social media aflame with solely her looks.

'Not to change the subject. But the woman sitting behind Rand Paul is gorgeous,' one X user wrote – sharing a still that quickly went viral.

'LOL... I thought the same. So perfect, I thought she was a robot. Never smiled...' another wrote.

'Right?! She is absolutely STUNNING!!' said someone else.

'I might have noticed that….numerous times in fact,' a fourth joked.

'She’s probably a supermodel that got lost,' added another.

'Oh my God, who the HELL is she?' a sixth quipped, as many speculated about the person's true identity.

The original post rapidly racked up nearly 300,000 views.

The Daily Mail has approached Senator Paul's office for clarification on the woman's identity.

Paul, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, was one of several conservatives to grill Fauci over the course of several hours. The questions pertained to the federal government's yearslong response to the pandemic.

Fauci, the former chief White House medical advisor, invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times. The fundamental right is usually used to avoid saying something incriminating during legal proceedings.

Fauci has not been charged with, convicted of, or proven to have committed any crimes. 

One X user wrote: 'Once the 5th was pleaded it was just partisan grandstanding theater sh*t-show and a waste of time.'

Paul has alleged that Fauci misled Congress and signed off on funding for experiments overseas that may have helped spread the virus.

Fauci has repeatedly insisted otherwise, saying that his National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases did not fund such research in China. Paul has maintained that he did.

Fauci received a pardon for any prospective federal crimes from then-President Joe Biden at the end of the latter's term – two years after retiring. 

Speaking with members of the media after Wednesday's Capitol Hill hearing, Paul said he still planned to hold a vote to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress next week.

'That's the vote that will happen in committee next week, it will be on contempt of Congress,' Paul, 63, told reporters.

'We believe with his liability, his immunity from criminal liability, that he didn't need to hide behind the Fifth Amendment and that maybe the Fifth Amendment doesn't attach when you have a pardon in place,' he continued, adding that the ability to plead the Fifth again, 'will be a legal question.'

'But the question on contempt will be voted on and then there's a question of whether or not the Department of Justice will take it up,' said Paul.

Fauci, 85, said of Paul during the hearing: 'The sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to prompt me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, "behind bars."'
