Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) went on Fox News to defend China on Saturday. Porter attempted to obscure the communist regime's responsibility for unleashing the deadly Wuhan coronavirus on the world.
To absolve China, Porter was throwing everything at the wall to see what stuck. Nothing did. The California representative characterized the Wuhan coronavirus as a "global phenomenon" and said evidence proves that outbreaks in the U.S. had their origins in Europe, not China.
"There's a lot of evidence that the cases that began to pop up and expand in the United States actually came from Europe," Porter said, as she dodged a question about whether or not she would support a Republican bill to hold the Chinese government accountable.
In her brazen defense of China, the only time the California representative's voice seemed demure was when she made obligatory remarks critical of the communist regime.
"They came from China," Porter said quickly, before strongly emphasizing her main point: "This is a global phenomenon, and we should think about it that way."
It sounded like Porter was denying two things: that the virus came from China and that the Chinese government had been dishonest in the critical first months of the pandemic. The first-term congresswoman was asked to clarify.
"We can definitely agree that it began in China and we can definitely agree that we should have had more transparency with what was happening in China ...," the congresswoman admitted.
If so, then why is it so hard for Porter to say China should be held responsible?
"Allow me to finish," Porter demanded, knowing the Chinese propaganda she was about to spew would surely be questioned. "Because we currently, in the United States, have the largest number of cases in the world, and we are going to, likely, given the trend that we are seeing, continue to have the largest number of cases in the world."
"Could that possibly be because the Chinese didn't tell the truth about the number of cases and the number of deaths that they have, and we are telling the truth?" the congresswoman was asked.
"We should absolutely be pushing for answers and doing that investigation and that's why funding for the World Health Organization ... The WHO is the entity that helps coordinate world health," Porter argued. "hence its name: World Health Organization."
The WHO has become a parrot that simply repeats communist propaganda, much like Porter. The world's so-called health organization repeated China's deadly lie in January that the virus was not transmissible through human-to-human contact, ignoring dire warnings from Taiwan showing evidence to the contrary.
After absurdly claiming the WHO is the appropriate body to lead the investigation into China, the Democrat then faults the Trump administration for not having the clairvoyance back in November to demand answers from China.
Porter also blamed Trump's China travel ban for not going far enough by allowing thousands of infected Americans to return from China and spread the disease throughout the U.S., even after Porter had just claimed that outbreaks in the U.S. came from Europe.
Who is Rep. Porter really representing these days?
Apropos of nothing, my favorite piece of home security equipment is the Louisville Slugger, because it is also pretty decorative.
....[EX-Representative Katie Porter] characterized the Wuhan coronavirus as a “global phenomenon”....
Hasn’t she been completely discredited already? PHOOEY!!!!
Another running dog of the CHICOMs.
Let’s see: Population 1.5 billion and 80+K cases in China vs population 350 million and 800,000+ cases in USA.
Sure looks to me like China seeded the USA with the virus.
Mark these people.
I watched that.
Look at it again. Watch her mouth...not the words, the shape of her mouth. Look behind those awful glasses at her eyes.
A very unhappy, agitated intense person.
The total opposite mannerisms of a Jim Jordan, Max Meadows, Lou Dobbs, etc.
It is a common characteristic of unbalanced liberals.
Agreed, and I’ll add hateful and conniving to that.

Excellent post, Dave!
Another running dog of the CHICOMs.
Check my tagline. This B$tch was/is probably bought and paid for by the ChiComs/PRC!
Why do I suddenly have a hankerin' for bacon?
there should be a ship/plane on the ready.. to take any and all commie sympathizers for a 12 mo visit to live among the people in any commie country. no help and no money from home.. just get your confounded brain trained.
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring. Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.
Another republican campaign ad in the making.
Oh, bark like a dog! Ew!
She is kind of a female version of Biden.
