'The situation is very grave in part because...China was lying from the beginning, and they're still lying today,' the Arkansas senator said.

, Cotton reiterated his assertion that the Chinese government has been"lying from the beginning, and they're still lying today" about the gravity of the virus and perhaps even its origins.

Cotton went on to praise President Donald Trump and his administration for implementing a travel ban on flights from China to contain the virus. "Epidemiologists who are widely respected from China who published a study ... have demonstrated that several of the original cases did not have any contact with that food market," Cotton said."The virus went into that food market before it came out."

All that’s missing is the tinfoil hat

Senator Cotton is really one of those weird people. I wonder how long he stays up at night thinking up these conspiracy theories.

Either that, or it was engineered by trump's evil gnomes to disrupt the Chinese economy and society. How's that for a tinfoil-hat plot?

Good god what will headcases like GOP members make up about China next?

and why should I trust Cotton what credibility or integrity has he shown over the long haul ?

The ONLY thing that Cotton has said that make sense.

I think it leaked out of Area 51!

Liars calling people liars. Sad.

Not from the US? Dude?

I think we should leave it to the scientists.. but wouldn’t be surprised.

Sen. Tom Cotton may have originated in an infected alien pole dancer!

Wouldn't doubt it for a second!

GOP seems to be really into conspiracy theories...or just lies.

Yah Tom. They lie almost as much as you when you are defending the Trumpster.

People vote for these people, let them run our country.

It could come from cotton t-shirts. But that’s just an unsupported theory too.

It came from the Operation Paperclip SS lab here. Look at this, it’s the genocide mural at the Denver Airport where they keep their weird alien creatures locked up.

I don't care about the coronavirus origins. I care about how we can protect ourselves from it and how to survive if we get it. It spreads very quickly, Tom.

He is a nit wit. Tom Cotton!! Stupid man.

Huckabee Sanders land. Explains a lot.

Cotton is a Republican. He is comfortable with lying.

I don't care. If someone believes this, they are gullible sheep. Moving on.

Wow, so you're not going to put anything in your clickbait that his 'suggestion' is wrong?

FTFY

Mmmmaybe it's the Obama Biden China Deep State? Wow! Hannity will be all over that!!!

I'm laughing at you guys who trust Communist China over a US senator. You're a big part of the problems our country has.

Someone has to ask the question, I don’t get all the backlash?

With 0 evidence

It’s possible Senator Cotton is also lying. We know from his recent senate vote he’s not capable of identifying the truth when it stares at him.

Cotton knows nothing.

Prove it.

There is an Australian research firm, which duplicated the virus, in order of finding a cure. Reminds me of a The Blacklist episode of weaponizing a virus to target a victim.

Show the evidence. This was suggested weeks ago. We are tired of Republicans spin ,lies, finger pointing. You have access to information few of us do. Act like a leader not a conspiracy theorist

You can’t fix stupid

It's a Republican hobby horse.

Yeah he’s believable

Plus, Commie China was aware of the risks of their wet markets and they weren’t prepared for that either. And then they lied about and tried to hide the outbreak. Not safe! Can’t trust China.

Jami_USA And Newsweak sides with China lol.

Dem Globalist groupies on Twitter yelling about how the virus didn’t come from the Wuhan bio weapons lab are still missing the point that sketchy labs are there and Commie China didn’t have ethical procedures, supplies or facilities ALREADY in place. Would have helped so much.

Sorry, but Republicans have lost all credibility at this point.
