Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci during a Fox News interview Thursday night over remarks that he made earlier in the day about China.
“I mean, it’s obviously in China’s interest to find out exactly what it is, and the ‘is’ of the natural theory would be to find that link, so you have to keep looking for it,” Fauci said during an MSNBC interview on Thursday morning.
“I mean, obviously you want openness and cooperation. One of the ways you can get it is don’t be accusatory. Try to get both a forensic, a scientific, and an investigational approach. I think the accusatory part about it is only going to get them to pull back even more.”
“It’s no great surprise to hear Fauci this morning talk about how the Chinese have an interest in us discovering what happened. It’s just crazy talk,” Pompeo said. “The Chinese have a deep interest in covering it up and they’ve done so pretty darn effectively.”
Pompeo said that Fauci’s remarks were “the exact same words, the exact same excuses, the exact same theories that the Chinese Communist Party has presenting for over a year now.”
“He implies good faith for the Chinese Communist Party, Laura. Here we are in the 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Square, where we saw the brutality of this regime, a regime that doesn’t care about human life,” Pompeo said. “For Dr. Fauci to go and think for a moment that the Chinese Communist Party cared that there were people in Wuhan that were dying, whether it was Chinese people or Americans, whoever else might be there is just naïve beyond all possible imagination. The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t care for a moment, they have no desire for the world to know what happened. They could clear this all up in a minute if they wanted to.”
