Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after Dr. Anthony Fauci once again wrongfully smeared Senator Blackburn and others for “attacking science.” This deflection is part of an ongoing attempt to distract from Fauci’s refusal to investigate the Wuhan Lab of Virology.
“Whether intentional or not, Dr. Fauci’s statements shielded the Chinese Communist Party in covering up its role in creating this deadly pandemic by downplaying the possibility that the virus leaked from a lab,” said Senator Blackburn.
“Fauci, along with the mainstream media, refused to take the lab leak theory seriously, and until recently, went to great lengths to portray it as ‘nutty.’ Big tech companies like Facebook went so far as to censor discussion about the origins of COVID,” Senator Blackburn stated.
“No amount of revisionism will change these facts,” continued Senator Blackburn.
