Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) stated that China was responsible for the coronavirus global pandemic. It was undeniable China allowed the virus to spread beyond its borders.
He told FNC’s Neil Cavuto that for that reason, the Chinese Communist Party was “culpable.” They allowed COVID-19 to become a global pandemic.
“Whatever the origins of this virus — and, right now, I think the best circumstantial evidence points to those labs in Wuhan,” Cotton said. “But whatever the origins of it, it’s clear to me that, once China realized how deadly this virus could be to some people and how contagious this virus was, that they made the conscious decision to let it get outside of their borders. They didn’t stop international air travel. They pressured countries not to impose travel restrictions.”
If you watched China Daily or any of the China-controlled outlets, all they did was torch the President for halting travel. They also put pressure on Europe to not close and condemn President Trump.
“They pressured the WHO to oppose travel restrictions as well, even when they knew, as far back as early December, that this virus was highly contagious and very deadly,” Cotton continued. “So, whatever the origins of this virus may ultimately be, even if it was an accident or a mistake, the Chinese Communist Party is culpable for turning what could have been a local public health challenge in Wuhan into the worst global pandemic in a century.”
There is no question WHO obfuscated for weeks.
Meanwhile, Democrats side with China and WHO.
