Scalise Calls on Pelosi to Hold Hearings on Origins of COVID-19

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise is accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of not being honest about China over the origins of the coronavirus.

Article by Rachel del Guidice from Daily Signal.

“Today, we are here with the [GOP] Doctors Caucus to talk about something we’ve been calling on for a long time, and that is demanding actual accountability and demanding that Speaker Pelosi hold hearings to investigate the origins of COVID-19,” Scalise, R-La., said Thursday.

The move comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced a plan Sunday comprising “eight pillars” for “holding China accountable” for the coronavirus pandemic. McCarthy said that, as of this month, 3.8 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19, including more than 600,000 Americans.

At a Thursday press conference, Scalise said that it’s past time to get details on the origins of the coronavirus.

“For more than a year now, House Republicans have been making these calls as we’ve heard more and more reports and evidence mounting that this evil virus may have started in the Wuhan lab [in China],” the Louisiana Republican said.

Scalise said that Pelosi, D-Calif., should have no problem holding a hearing if she has nothing to hide.

“In fact, as more emails become uncovered that evidence grows daily, and yet Speaker Pelosi still refuses to hold a hearing on the origins of COVID-19. Why would Speaker Pelosi want to try to cover up for what China did?” he asked.

Henry Connelly, a spokesman for Pelosi, disputed Scalise’s charges. “Whip Scalise must have the Speaker confused with President [Donald] Trump, who spent the critical early months of the COVID outbreak relentlessly praising [Chinese President Xi Jinping’s] leadership while leaving our nation unprepared for a pandemic that killed more than half a million Americans,” he said.

In a hearing on Tuesday, Scalise had accused Pelosi and her fellow Democrats of covering up COVID-19’s origins on behalf of China.

“Speaker Pelosi and the House of Representatives should not be covering up for China’s lies and potential crimes,” he said. “We should be coming together on a bipartisan basis to search for those answers and shine the light of transparency on the origins of this virus to the world.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., agreed that Americans should know the origins of COVID-19.

“Every American deserves to know the truth about the COVID cover-up. That’s why one of the bills House Republicans are highlighting is ‘The World Deserves to Know Act’ that I co-introduced with my colleague from Virginia, [Rep.] Rob Wittman,” Stefanik said Wednesday.

“This bill calls for a full investigation to determine the extent of China’s actions and cover-up,” she added.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help

They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.

Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.

The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).

To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
