Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) claimed WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus violated the agency’s mandate to protect the health and well being of people worldwide. McSally said downplaying China’s mishandling of the virus may have killed thousands of people.  May have? How about “did kill”?

“The WHO needs to stop covering (lying) for them (China)…I think Dr. Tedros needs to step down…we need to take some action to address this issue,” she insisted. “…It’s irresponsible, it’s unconscionable what they’ve done here.”

A handful full of other GOP lawmakers also jumped into the fight by demanding accountability from the WHO. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) reportedly said Tedros let Beijing use the organization to mislead the global public and called him “either complicit or dangerously incompetent.”

Starting in January, the WHO pushed Chinese propaganda by claiming they found no human-to-human transmission, which has proven to be a dangerously false and misleading statement.
