Atlanta, GA – Today, the House is expected to vote on legislation to help make public information relating to the origins of COVID-19. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), cleared the Senate by unanimous consent last week. It would require that the director of national intelligence declassify “as much information as possible about the origin of COVID-19,” then make it available to the public.  In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement:

“Three years ago, President Trump said the pandemic likely originated in China with a lab leak.  Tea Party Patriots Action said the exact same thing.  So did a small minority of medical and national security experts.  Today, it’s becoming increasingly clear that we were right. 

“But during the past three years, we took a lot of abuse.  The federal government, led by the Liar-in-Chief, Dr. Anthony Fauci, launched a massive propaganda campaign to convince the public that the lab leak origin was a conservative myth. Dr. Fauci blatantly manipulated the public, as new emails from the House Oversight Committee reveal.  The FBI was eagerly working with Twitter to suppress dissidents, as the ‘Twitter Files’ make clear to all. 

“The public has the right to know everything the government knows about the origins of COVID-19.  This is important for public health, free speech, and national security. The House must pass Senator Hawley’s bill to make public information relating to the origin of COVID-19.  There is no legitimate argument against it.”
