Pompeo: NIH tried to suppress State Dept virus probe; Fauci repeating Chinese Communist Party 'excuses'

Ex-secretary says Anthony Fauci is parroting Chinese Communist Party talking points.

-----------------------------------------------

Former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the National Institutes of Health of trying to suppress his department's investigation into the true origins of the coronavirus pandemic, as until recently theories that the pathogen leaked from a Wuhan, China lab were often viewed as conspiratorial.

On "The Ingraham Angle," Pompeo remarked that outside of typical pushback within his own department from people who didn't like him or President Donald Trump, he was also dealing with "internal debate" from the National Institutes of Health.

"[NIH] folks were trying to suppress what we were doing at the State Department as well," he said.

NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, an Obama appointee, recently said on Fox News' "The Story" that he never ruled out a lab leak, but that it matched astrobiologist Carl Sagan's mantra of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Pompeo also said Anthony Fauci, who runs the NIAID under the NIH umbrella, sounded like he was spreading Chinese government talking points

“Lock up the leadership of the National Institutes of Health.”

The NIH has been a political cesspool for quite awhile, and these are the people deciding who gets federal research funding and who doesn’t.

Good interview, just wish she would stop talking over her guess, then signal to them they are out of time. Same gripe with Hannity.
