A former U.S. ambassador to Japan has criticized the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its coverup of the CCP virus in the early stages of the deadly outbreak, calling the regime’s mishandling of the virus “the crime of the century.”
Bill Hagerty, who is now a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Tennessee, told “The Jeff Poor Show“ on Friday that he believes the Chinese regime’s efforts to suppress information and conceal the virus before it became a pandemic makes it ”the greatest cover-up in human history.”
