Dems defend Wuhan wet markets in spite of facts

"How much for the bat balls?"
If President Trump says "left," the left says "right." If Trump says, "Don't eat bats, penguins and skunks," the left says, "You don't know what you're missing. Go for it."

Now an Illinois Democrat, who blames Trump for deaths from the Chinese Communist Wuhan Wet Market Lab Created Coronavirus, defended the Wuhan wet markets. on Monday at a tele-townhall, and totally disregarded the scientific consensus that these markets are petri dishes for deadly diseases.

"I think we need to be careful about laying all the blame on a particular cultural practice in a country that we don't live in," Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) said as he defended China to his constituents. "These viruses could hop from animals to humans, but you don't shut that down just by shutting down a particular cultural practice that we aren't familiar with."

And with that logic, you don't stop a father from honor killing his daughter for refusing to wear a hijab in public because that's a particular cultural practice that we aren't familiar with.

Casten is an apologist for China and an idiot for Capitol Hill. He has repeatedly accused President Trump of killing Americans by putting out misinformation about the pandemic because he somehow knows virology and the global situation better than Trump's coronavirus team. He has gone so far as to say that the daily briefings on the virus pandemic are "getting people killed," but has not elaborated as to how.

Casten's defense of China's wet markets contradicts a scientific consensus dating back to 2006 that such markets pose a significant public health risk, and it's obvious that he bases his information on the idea that anything that opposes Trump is correct.

While China has restricted the country's scientists from pinpointing the exact origins of the virus, existing evidence suggests that the virus started in a wet market in Wuhan, China, based on "patient zero."

His defense of wet markets also runs counter to the policies advocated by Dr. Anthony Fauci, a world renown doctor on the Trump administration's coronavirus task force.

"[They] should shut down those things right away," Fauci said on April 2, referring to the wet markets. "It just boggles my mind that when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human-animal interface that we don't just shut it down."

If anyone is putting out false information about the coronavirus, it's Casten and it isn't the first time. In March, Illinois' idiot congressman refused to assign any blame to China for its mishandling of the pandemic, stating that "viruses don't know borders," which actually supports the idea that we should protect ours to keep those with the virus from entering the US illegally.

That kind of logic is reminiscent of CNN's Jim Acosta standing by the border wall in Texas saying that he sees no reason for a wall because look, there's nobody trying to enter.

By disappearing whistleblowers and by refusing to announce the severity of the disease when it was first discovered in China, they made what could have been much more easily contained into a pandemic. Had China responded to the outbreak 3 weeks earlier, there would have been 95 percent fewer cases, according to one study.

The idiot mentioned the avian flu in his defense of wet markets, arguing that the real problem isn't with unregulated markets but the vector animals that transmit the disease to humans, but he neglected to tell his constituents that the 2006 avian flu, and the 2003 SARS outbreak, both originated in Asian wet markets, and restrictions on these markets were called for as early as 2010, according to the South China Morning Post.

Jeanne Ives, the Republican candidate now challenging Casten, criticized the China apologist for offering political cover to China by defending wet markets.

"While we don't know that COVID-19 originated in the wet markets, there is strong evidence that the spread was escalated there. Regardless, everything China does should be suspect and investigated now," an Ives campaign spokesperson said. "And Sean Casten has done nothing but praise and defend them."

The name Casten, in Mandarin, means "one who speaks through lower orifice." Okay, it really doesn't mean that but it should.

The left will always attack the Trump administration on every issue even when it's obviously an impotent attack.
