CBS News aired a brief portion of the 2-hour long conversation during Sunday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, but Navarro claims the final cut turned out to be "a purely politicized interview rather than one focused soberly on the single greatest existential threat America has faced since World War II."The headlines coming out of the segment largely ignored the focus of Whitaker’s piece, the shortage of personal protective equipment for front line medical professionals.
What? 60 Minutes cut and pasted to suit their particular narrative? I'm shocked, I tell you!
"I had numerous conversations with the producer about how the virus originated in Wuhan and how, while China hid the lethality of the virus from the world, the Chinese Communist Party vacuumed up nearly all of the world's PPE, leaving health care workers defenseless from New York and Milan to Barcelona and London," the former economics professor continued. "That should have been the real story, Beijing's role in the deaths of Americans and victims around the world."
I welcome out new Chicom overlord masters!
"Mr. Whitaker broadly claimed intelligence reports anticipated the pandemic but when I pressed Whittaker repeatedly in the unaired full interview, he could not name the exact news stories or any of the individuals quoted by name in the stories," Navarro told Daily Caller. "It strains credulity that America's intelligence community would allow Chinese diplomats to come into the White House on January 15 if there were deep concerns within the IC prior to that date."
Doesn't strain my credulity.
