Emmer: House Republicans will Hold China accountable

Majority Whip Tom Emmer joined The Story with Martha MacCallum yesterday where he laid out how House Republicans are going to deliver where Democrats have failed and hold China accountable. Whip Emmer detailed House Republicans’ planned probe into the origins of COVID that will get to the bottom of what happened at the beginning of the pandemic. Additionally, Whip Emmer highlighted how the Republican House Majority is taking steps to hold China accountable on every front, from the strategic petroleum reserve bill on the floor this week to stop the Biden administration from selling our oil reserves to our greatest adversary in the world, to the select committee on China that will hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for meddling in our domestic affairs.

Read Whip Emmer’s remarks on China below:

“House Republicans are going to deliver in an area where Democrats have failed consistently over the past few years and that is holding China accountable. As you correctly point out, we’re going to stand up a COVID origin committee to get to the bottom of where the COVID-19 disaster with the pandemic actually started. Why our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have tried to avoid the answer to that question and hold people accountable is hard to understand.”

 “The American people are tired of the Biden administration’s soft-on-China policies. That’s why there’s going to be the COVID origin committee. That’s why we’re bringing a strategic petroleum reserve bill to the floor because the Biden administration literally has been selling our strategic petroleum reserve to our adversaries in China. We’re also going to have the China select committee that literally will hunt down members of the Communist Party of China who are here, wherever they are in this country, who have been meddling in our affairs to hold them accountable.”
