“Racist.” “Xenophobic.” “Conspiracy theorist.”
That’s what the left and their allies in the press called President Trump and Republicans who were calling for an investigation into the potential leak of COVID-19 from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Now all of those same critics have radically changed their tune.
Evidence emerged this week that strongly points the finger at the Chinese Communist Party and the lab in Wuhan, China where dangerous research was being conducted that may have caused this global pandemic.
I’ve been calling for investigations from the beginning, and the Energy and Commerce Committee - where I serve - is launching a full investigation into the origins of this pandemic. I’ve also introduced legislation that allows Americans to sue the Chinese government for their role in spreading this pandemic around the world. China even threatened me with sanctions for my statements, but I refused to stand down.
We need to get to the bottom of what really happened so it never happens again, and I’m not afraid to place the blame right on China’s doorstep if necessary. But everyone from Fauci to Big Tech to the biased press needs to acknowledge their mistake in trying to discredit the commonsense lab-leak theory from the beginning.
