Credibility crisis: MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace insisted COVID originating in Wuhan lab was ‘conspiracy theory’
Fox News
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, one of the media's fiercest anti-GOP voices, called the COVID lab leak possibility a "conspiracy theory" in 2020.
Wallace, one of the media's most rabidly anti-GOP voices, appeared determined to shut down the theory that was embraced by the Trump administration. She blamed then-President Trump on April 30, 2020 for pushing intelligence agencies into investigating one of "Trump world’s most favorite conspiracy theories," when referring to the possibility that COVID originated from a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The GOP-flack-turned-liberal MSNBC host then put a spotlight on a 2020 New York Times piece headlined, "Trump officials are said to press spies to link virus and Wuhan labs."
