Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Penn., appeared on Breitbart News Saturday radio program — and he dropped a bombshell on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s cozy relationship with China.
Reschenthaler discussed Republican-backed efforts in the House to investigate how U.S. taxpayer dollars helped fund the Wuhan virus lab where the coronavirus may have originated from.
Reports have surfaced in recent weeks that the lab in question was funded, at least in part, by President Barack Obama’s administration.
Reschenthaler claimed Democrats, led by Pelosi, were blocking investigative efforts. Pelosi wants the Democrat-led House to focus on more politically motivated investigations of President Donald Trump.
She’s not interested in the truth on the deadly Wuhan virus pandemic, Reschenthaler claimed, because it’s not politically convenient for Democrats.
“We should have an investigative body looking at these grants,” he said. “But Nancy Pelosi is not going to do that.”
“So you have myself, and House Republicans, and I can tell you I’m going to continue to look into these grants,” Reschenthaler said. “I’m going to continue to look into the Department of Homeland Security as well to see what grants are going from there to China.”
“I’m also looking at defunding the World Health Organization and we can talk about that as well,” he said.
The truth doesn’t matter to Pelosi, he said, because she’s too blinded by her hatred of Trump and voters that back him.
“But the bottom line of the Democrats’ behavior is this: They hate this president so badly that they would rather side with the Chinese Communist Party than defend Americans and defend our spending and spend wisely and just be honest,” Reschenthaler claimed. “That is their hatred for President Trump and disdain for President Trump’s supporters.”
To keep America safe from future pandemics — and to get Congress to focus on legislative work, and not impeachment scams — Reschenthaler said it’s vital that Republicans retake control of the House of Representatives in the 2020 election.
Democrats have gone too far left to be reasoned with, he said. Most members vote with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., 90 percent of the time. They’re actively blocking Republican efforts to discover if the coronavirus pandemic originated in a Wuhan lab funded by a New York-based firm.
“It’s imperative that we as House Republicans take back the House in this next election because Nancy Pelosi and the far-left Democrats are thwarting everything we do,” he said. “I do have to say I cringe when the media says ‘Nancy Pelosi and the Squad’ because that minimizes how far left this party has gone.”
“It’s just not the Squad. It’s not just Nancy Pelosi,” the Pennslyvania lawmaker continued.
“It’s most of their members. Look at the Green New Deal. When that was floated, half of their co-sponsors were on the Green New Deal. Most of these Democrats vote 90 plus percent of the time with AOC,” he said. “This party has moved drastically to the left to the point of siding with the CCP over Americans … that’s the extent of their hatred of this president and his supporters. They will not run these bills and they will not do these investigations because, again, they would rather side with the CCP than do the right thing.”
