ICYMI: Bergman Continues Efforts to Hold Chinese Communist Party Accountable, Investigate Origins of COVID-19

Washington, June 1, 2021
Last week, Rep. Jack Bergman joined over 200 of his Republican colleagues urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi to direct Democrat Committee Chairs to launch an investigation into the origins of COVID-19. Since COVID-19 emerged from Wuhan, China, over 18 months ago, the Democrat-led House has not held a single hearing on the origins of the virus.

The Members stated in part, "We request that you instruct the appropriate Democrat committee chairs to immediately join Republican calls to hold the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable for its role in causing the global COVID-19 pandemic. There is mounting evidence the pandemic started in a Chinese lab, and the CCP covered it up. If that is the case, the CCP is responsible for the deaths of almost 600,000 Americans and millions more worldwide. These questions about the CCP’s liability are not a diversion, as you falsely claimed. 1 To the contrary, every American family that lost someone deserves answers about the origin of this terrible virus, and House Democrats’ ongoing refusal to allocate investigative resources to get those answers is an affront to them."
