Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Tuesday introduced legislation that would allow President Trump to impose a wide range of sanctions on the Chinese government if it refuses to cooperate with an international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus.
“I’m convinced that without Chinese Communist Party deception the virus would not be here in the United States,” Graham said in a statement. “China refuses to allow the international community to go into the Wuhan lab to investigate. They refuse to allow investigators to study how this outbreak started. I’m convinced China will never cooperate with a serious investigation unless they are made to do so. This hard-hitting piece of legislation will sanction China until they cooperate with investigators. “
The COVID-19 Accountability Act would require Trump to certify to Congress that China had: cooperated with an international coronavirus investigation, led by either the U.S., an ally or a U.N. body; closed all relevant wet markets, and released Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters arrested during the crisis.

Oooohhh. A Bill. By Miss Lindsey. Rough tough cream puff.
“Sanctions” like what? “You’ve been naughty and don’t you ever do that again “
Just what does China have to do with it? I thought it was all Trump’s fault. I mean sheesh! It would be just racist to think China had anything to do with the Wuhan Virus.
Rough tough cream puff.

Perfect
Sanction them now Lt. NoBalls
How about those hearings Lindsey? Lindsey?? Lindsey??? Buehler? Buehler??
Yeah he gets real tough when he knows the dems hold the house and that they won’t pass it. He’s safe to introduce anything he wants because he knows nothing will come of it.
Linda’s getting her panties in an uproar again. She ought to have her own TV show, really.
Graham is useless but so are most of his GOP colleagues.
Who cares if they cooperate. Stop doing business with China. The CCP can only be trusted to corrupt our institutions. Nobody should trust them. Nobody should do business with them. The CCP is bad for the whole world.
Hey! He’s really serious this time. He makes a very angry Marvin The Martian look like a badass biker. Bwaaahaaaaa! Linda with her panties wet.
The whole thing with ‘Lindsey’ actually starts with his mom.
As in...
How did she know?!
Hey linda, how 'bout holding some of your promised hearings instead of wasting your time on this bill? We know his track record regarding promises, don't we?
Lindsey
Graham
ping!
Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.
Remember that linda is up for reelection in November.
Remember also that linda announced last August he is writing a Red Flag bill.
Oops, forgot the list. See post 14.
My neighbor here in Panama has a great idea. A Coronavirus tax on any Chinese goods going through the Panama Canal. The Chinese will fume but what can they do? Their only other alternative is to go around Cape Horn!
Trump can put a similar tax on any goods coming in from China. The Chinese can retaliate if they want to but they already don’t play fair with American goods. We get our reparations back without all the saber-rattling.
I’m sure China is shaking in its boots.
How did this fool ever become a Senator?
