April 15, 2020 Democrats & Media Outraged That President Trump Holds WHO Accountable For Coronavirus Failure

Yesterday, President Trump took bold action to hold the World Health Organization accountable for the global pandemic and announced that he would pause sending American taxpayer dollars to the organization until their coronavirus response is properly investigated.

It’s now clear that China tried to cover up the coronavirus and the World Health Organization made it far worse. The WHO repeatedly parroted the Chinese government’s claims that the virus was not spreading between people while ignoring mounting evidence that it was, hiding critical information from the public.

Dr. Deborah Birx said today, “someone had to have known that there was human-to-human transmission,” and questioned why there wasn’t more transparency from China and the WHO.

When President Trump took early, decisive action to implement Chinese travel restrictions, the WHO, just like Joe Biden, criticized the decision, which experts now agree made America safer.

The American people deserved better than the WHO’s false assurances and incorrect information. But Democrats and their media allies would rather side with China and the World Health Organization than put America first:

Democrat Nancy Pelosi called President Trump’s decision “dangerous” and “illegal.”



Democrat Chris Murphy claimed President Trump was attempting to “scapegoat the World Health Organization.”



CNN’s Jim Acosta said President Trump was using the World Health Organization as a scapegoat for the pandemic.



CNN’s Christiane Amanpour bizarrely compared defunding the WHO to “pulling the plug on firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11.”



The Daily Beast’s Molly Jong-Fast tweeted that President Trump was “defunding the World Health Organization because he’s petty as f.”

Each year, American taxpayers provide up to $500 million in funding to the World Health Organization while China sends only one-tenth of that. Yet when Americans needed the WHO most, it failed us and helped spread China’s propaganda.

President Trump knows the American people deserve better from the World Health Organization. While Democrats defend China, President Trump is fighting for American taxpayers and their health by halting funding and redirecting it to others directly engaged in the coronavirus fight until the WHO’s failures and cover-ups can be thoroughly investigated.
