On Thursday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took a step back from his claim that there was “enormous evidence” that COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
But but but…Donnie insinuated that HE and only HE had information (that he couldn’t share) that said the Chinese lab was guilty…these people are truly horrible. They lie, smear, insult and then…oh oops???
I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is enormous evidence that COVID-19 originated from the British Navy Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. Enormous evidence, and when I say enormous, I mean there is a certain amount, far less than we are willing to admit.
There are more than a few ways China could make life miserable for Trump. Sure, he could retaliate, but ultimately whatever pain either nation chooses to mete out rolls downhill on to their citizens. And China has more ability to force or cajole their populace into experiencing and living with the results of whatever they do. U.S. citizens can’t even be bothered with avoiding death during a pandemic.
Mission accomplished

His denials now don’t mean shit
This is par for the course with this fool. He will say anything if it endears him to the Orange One. He’s on my list of people who compel a channel change whenever they appear on the screen.
Pompeo is a dishonor to west point. Seems to have forgotten the honor code.
In an administration of wreckers the damage he is doing to the US’s world standing can’t underestimated. His stupidity and corruption is only rivaled by Kushner, Kudlow, DeVos, Azar, and Barr (who is not stupid, just corrupt and full of religious self-righteousness)
He is a lying turd, that will say just about anything.
RADDATZ: Do you believe it was manmade or genetically modified?
POMPEO: Look, the best experts so far seem to think it was manmade. I have no reason to disbelieve that at this point.
RADDATZ: Your – your Office of the DNI says the consensus, the scientific consensus was not manmade or genetically modified.
POMPEO: That’s right. I – I – I agree with that. Yes. I’ve – I’ve seen their analysis. I’ve seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly. I have no reason to doubt that that is accurate at this point.
Just spit balling here, Secretary Pompeo, but stay with me: maybe, just maybe, the role of the chief diplomat should be to behave in a more…what’s the word…diplomatic way. Perhaps, and this is just a suggestion, you shouldn’t accuse a country of crimes against humanity unless you have actual proof. And perhaps you should also refrain from accusing another country of this type of heinous act if your own boss is willing to kill off millions of your own countrymen to stay in power.
