Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo floated a bonkers theory that China intentionally unleashed Covid-19 on the world to ensure Donald Trump’s ouster from the U.S. presidency.

“So, what do you think here happened?” Bartiromo asked Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), who leads the House investigation into the origins of Covid-19. “It was engineered, came out of the Wuhan lab, and then China tried to cover it up — that doesn’t tell me anything about whether or not it was intentional. I mean, is there a chance that China released this virus on America intentionally? Disrupt the country, get Donald Trump out, get your man in there, Joe Biden, and then cover it up?”

“Well, they certainly didn’t try to protect America, did they? I mean, so whether it was intentional or accidental, they seem to be aware of it,” Wenstrup said. “And I could be wrong on this: President XI was telling Donald Trump everything is okay. And Donald Trump was repeating what President XI said. Now Democrats call President Trump a liar, but it seems President Trump was just repeating what President XI said. Obviously it was more dangerous.

“So, not only was it killing Chinese, it was killing people all around the world. So, it’s not just America. Look, we also know, on the intelligence side, many of the things that China has been working on as far as bioweapons, and including bioweapons derived from coronaviruses,” Wenstrup added.

“Wow!” Bartiromo exclaimed.

“So, we know that this has been going on. We have all these things to consider. This administration seems to want to ignore all of that, and we do not.  And it also seems Democrats in general — I don’t get it. And I don’t understand why Dr. Fauci wouldn’t want to have the debate over whether this came from the lab or whether it came from nature.”
