House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he would set up a committee on China to investigate the origins of COVID-19 if the Republicans were to take a majority in Congress in 2022.
"When we take the majority, we will create that committee on China, and it will be a bipartisan committee, so you will have one American voice on how we can compete where China comes in and captures the critical minerals when they come in and capture our medical supply and others," said McCarthy this weekend on Fux Noise "Sunday Morning Futures."
McCarthy added that a GOP majority in the House would probe whether the Biden family made millions in dealings with the Chinese government while Biden was vice president. He cited a claim by Peter Schweizer, president of the conservative think tank Government Accountability Institute, that the Bidens have benefited from Chinese funds.
In a January 23 interview on the Fox News talk show "Life, Liberty & Levin," Schweizer said that the Biden family received "some $31 million from Chinese individuals who are linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence" while Joe Biden was vice president.

These are the kind of idiots who run the Republican party these days.

McCarthy knows they won't take back the house. Backlash is real.

(42,550 posts)In October, Chinas Trademark Office granted provisional approval for 16 trademarks to Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, bringing to 34 the total number of marks China has greenlighted this year, according to the offices online database. The new approvals cover Ivanka-branded fashion gear including sunglasses, handbags, shoes and jewelry, as well as beauty services and voting machines.
The approvals came three months after Ivanka Trump announced she was dissolving her namesake brand to focus on government work.
China also granted provisional approval for two Trump trademarks to DTTM Operations LLC, headquartered at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York. They cover branded restaurant, bar and hotel services, as well as clothing and shoes.
