Scalise says GOP memo on closed-door Birx testimony confirms world was 'misled' on COVID
Fox News
The memo, exclusively obtained by Fox News, provides “key takeaways” from Birx’s committee testimony to Republicans and gives fresh insight into the origins of the virus as well as the US government’s pandemic response.
"President Biden and Democrats have politicized Covid from the start and refused to acknowledge its origins from China," Scalise told Fox News in a statement. "Republicans have been sounding the alarm on these issues for well over year, and Dr. Birx’s closed-door testimony confirms that the world was misled."
"Perhaps most disturbingly, she acknowledged that the Biden Administration in many cases has contributed to vaccine hesitancy and could be doing more to work with governors to prevent deaths," the number two House Republican continued. "The Biden Administration must be held accountable for their mismanagement of this pandemic."
