‘I’ve never trusted a communist’: Martha McSally demands WHO director step down for China ‘cover-up’
Senator McSally is right. We should never ever trust communists. China owns the WHO and installed the current leader who covered up for them.

Sen. Martha McSally accused the World Health Organization of “covering up” for China in the COVID-19 pandemic and said the director of the organization needs to step down.
The Arizona Republican called out WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during an appearance on Fox Business’ “ Mornings with Maria ” Thursday, calling for his resignation over the organization’s mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak, which originated in Wuhan, China.
“I’ve never trusted a communist. And their cover-up of this virus that originated with them has caused unnecessary deaths around America and around the world,” McSally told host Maria Bartiromo in speaking of the Communist Party of China.
Recent reports have questioned the validity of China’s statistics regarding the number of cases and fatalities in the country as more than 1 million people worldwide have been infected with the virus. McSally, who is up for reelection this fall, contended that the WHO failed in its oversight of China’s data reporting and Tedros, who has led the global organization since 2017, should relinquish his post.
“The WHO needs to stop covering for them. I think Dr. Tedros needs to step down. We need to take some action to address this issue. It’s just irresponsible, it’s unconscionable what they have done here while we have people dying across the globe,” she told Bartiromo.
The GOP lawmaker, who was appointed to the Senate after former U.S. Sen. John Kyl resigned, agreed with Florida Sen. Rick Scott who, earlier this week, accused the WHO of “helping Communist China cover-up” the full impact of the virus and called for a congressional probe.
McSally concurred with her Republican colleague, saying that “we need to look at addressing the WHO as well.” She also addressed funding for the organization, suggesting U.S. debts to China “should be forgiven, as a minimum.”
But a spokesman for the WHO contended that the organization expects members “to report data in a timely and accurate manner.”
“Membership in WHO and signing up to the International Health Regulations both carry with it the responsibility to prioritize public health, nationally and internationally, not only because global health norms say so, but because the two are inextricably linked, as this global pandemic has made clear to the world,” Tarik Jašarević said, though he did not address McSally’s remarks directly, according to Politico.
Political analyst Ian Bremmer, during an appearance on the “Fox News Rundown” podcast on Thursday, also accused the WHO of “carrying a lot of water for China because they want access and they want the funding.”
Tedros, who recently praised President Donald Trump for his “political commitment and political leadership” saying he was “doing all he can,” spoke about the pandemic at a press conference on Thursday.
The 55-year-old Ethiopian politician expressed that he was “deeply concerned” about the “rapid escalation and global spread” of the virus.
“Over the past five weeks, we have witnessed a near exponential growth in the number of new cases, reaching almost every country, territory, and area,” he said.
“There’s been a deluge of fantastic, scientifically based, evidence-based publications coming in on a daily basis,” Tedros said.
“I think we need to be very careful also not to be profiling certain parts of the world as being non-cooperative or not transparent,” he added. “And we need to look at transparency across the board, and we need to look at solidarity across the board.”

The next big issue , make that the next big cuckoo clock issue, is the truly fervent attempt by the far right to go bananas over communists, in this case Chinese communists. We have people dying and the country in true psychological crisis, and our "patriots" on the far right want everyone to get worked into a frenzy over "China".
Martha McSally should sit down and shut up.
And most Americans do not trust Donald Trump.
Only crackpots are hyper concerned about "communism" while our country is in dire straits from the coronavirus.
The Colonel is a highly decorated career USAF combat pilot whose honesty, loyalty, and integrity stands over anybody the liberal left can throw out there! Being that she is also the Senator for my district in my home state of Arizona is icing on the cake.
Four words for ya. Astronaut Captain Mark Kelly.
I sincerely respect Captain Kelly for his military and NASA achievements. I just do not happen care for his political views.
Based on what happened to his wife, I understand why he may feel the way he does about guns. I don't agree with him but I understand why he might feel that way.
Nice to see the usual suspects showing up for this astutely majestic observation concerning yet another facet of America's effort to subdue this viral outbreak.
With all of that being said it may be pertinently plausible to at least consider that the wisest and probably the safest action would be---For all of those who believe Sen. Martha McSally is accurate in her accusations and correct in what should be done---May be a wise choice to use Noxzema on your scrotum the next time you shave.

The WHO is an embarrassment. When its’ officials pretend Taiwan doesn’t exist it shows you who it answers to. It exists to shill.
imagine being so corrupt as to praise the Chinese government for its transparency after it’s flat out lied about how the Wuhan virus was communicable
WHO has been sounding the alarm for months, but yeah, fuck facts.
ding the alarm for months, but yeah, fuck facts.
Like taiwan existing?
This is the World Health Organization you shill for :
"The Chinese government is to be congratulated for the extraordinary measures it has taken to contain the outbreak."
Arresting doctors for speaking the truth and praising China for lying about how the disease spread. That's the type of behavior the WHO supports.
Given that the leader of the WHO covered up cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia before getting the job (with China's help), you can see why the WHO is so supportive of China's lies.
Articles like this kinda make me hope we get hit harder than the 1918 flu pandemic....
