Sen. Ted Cruz criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for parroting the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) narrative that COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, couldn’t have initially spread from a Wuhan lab.

“Shameful. At the outset of the pandemic, the WHO acted as a propagandist for communist China, echoing the CCP’s lies,” the Texas Republican said on Twitter on Feb. 10. “Now, the WHO concludes that the virus did not accidentally escape from a Wuhan govt lab because ... the CCP told them it didn’t.”
