During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of PBS’ “Firing Line,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) argued that President Joe Biden can still say he’s a bipartisan leader, but this requires redefining what bipartisanship means. Gillibrand said that Biden will still have credibility as a bipartisan leader even if both the coronavirus relief and infrastructure packages pass through reconciliation without Republican votes because “I think from a voters’ perspective, they see solving the COVID crisis, getting the economy up and running, the most bipartisan agenda you could have.” Host Margaret Hoover then asked, “Is that a little bit redefining what bipartisanship means, though?” Gillibrand responded, “It is.

The bailout funds were a part of federal COVID-19 relief packages passed under both the Trump and Biden administrations. EcoHealth Alliance head Peter Daszak was the only American member of the China-led World Health Organization Team dispatched to China to search for the origin of COVID-19. Daszak has a past involving dangerous gain-of-function research on bat-based coronaviruses, which some have speculated could have played a role in a potential lab-leak origin of the pandemic. A complaint filed in March … [Read more...] about Non-Profit That Funded Wuhan Lab Got Taxpayer Bailout Again In 2021
