I think that is a false equivalency that we should not assume.

Overwhelming evidence shows President Biden lied to the American people about his knowledge of and participation in his family's corrupt international and domestic business schemes.

If everything was innocent mistakes, we wouldn't need to send a letter asking for more information...

This is not an organization that shows leadership committed to protecting taxpayer funds...

This investigation is not over, and Dr. Daszak, we are not throwing the baby out with the bath water when it comes to advances in scientific research.

This is dangerous, risky research, and everyone involved with that, that I know of, has stated that at one point in their life or other.

Claiming that Lancet approved of it doesn't bear much water in front of this Committee right now.

In the fall of 2019, the Wuhan lab virus data base was taken offline.

They're scientists in China, a country that is an adversary to the United States of America...

You've never been an informant for the U.S. Government?

Because Congress has a responsibility to ensure American taxpayer dollars are spent in accordance with the law, and that rigorous oversight is applied to the entities that receive these funds, and as the Chairman of this Select…

Let's be clear. We know this wasn't a small oversight or a clerical error.

So, is it possible the Wuhan Institute has viruses or conducted experiments that they never published?

So, you had communications with the intelligence community before the outbreak of COVID.

Dr. Daszak, the U.S. intelligence community has been investigating the origins of COVID-19.

With all due respect, you should have already compiled it, and we should know exactly what percentage of the workforce is working from home.

No one says we are totally opposed to telework. We just want to see data that shows it is more efficient, and I don't think you all have that data.

We all work for the taxpayers. Whether we are in Congress, whether you work for the Federal Government, we work for the taxpayers of America, and the taxpayers are not getting their money's worth.

If we follow Chinese propaganda about the ongoing Ukraine war, we notice a certain pattern...

I think this is a problem because what we have seen by Dr. Foxx... is that we have got a lot of indoctrination that is taking place in our universities that is antidemocratic.

We have already lost him to Russian propaganda.

I would note that America has an illegal immigration problem, China does not, and that tells you a lot.

What is concerning to me is the draconian mandate coming from this Biden Administration is just plain dumb.

There are no concentration camps in Ukraine.

If Democrats do not want to confront the threat of the Chinese Communist Party's political warfare against the United States, I believe that is a serious mistake.
