Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said that the hundreds of people who greeted Mormon missionaries at the Salt Lake City airport should not have gathered amid the CCP virus pandemic.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
