Former state Senator and Congressional-hopeful Bill Hightower believes the Chinese government and World Health Organization (WHO) are covering-up details of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and wants Congress to investigate.
“While there are many unanswered questions looming, the trajectory of this pandemic is undeniable. The Communist Chinese government knew more than they told the world for too long, but it is clear we may never get straight answers from them,” said Hightower. “That is why it is critical that Congress holds public hearings to hear from officials from the World Health Organization about what they knew, when they knew it, and what protocols they had in place to address it.”
He continued, “This information will enable us to hold people accountable, but will also help us put the systems in place to better manage future events of similar nature. American tax dollars fund this organization and American lives are being lost as a result of communist misinformation. It’s time we learned the truth.”
Congress has previously called on the WHO to complete an in-depth analysis of the coronavirus outbreak, but the WHO has yet to do so.
Hightower faces republican Jerry Carl in a Republican primary runoff for the seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Rep. Bradly Bryne. They will face one another on July 14.
