It’s hard to believe that Joe Scarborough was so brazenly wrong about the origins of the coronavirus. His Morning Joe crew has long dismissed the notion that the virus originated in a government-controlled lab as a Sino-phobic conspiracy theory. But then the FBI stepped in and debunked this claim.

Scarborough had previously sneered at Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton for “spouting a conspiracy theory that the Chinese made this virus up in a lab.” He even went so far as to accuse Cotton of being reckless, and urged him to stop “spooling up whoever was wearing tinfoil hats in your audience.”

But it turns out that Cotton was right. The FBI has concluded that the virus most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab in Wuhan. This has been confirmed by FBI Director Chris Wray, who stated that “The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.”

So what was Scarborough’s response? Well, it turns out he had a rather convenient way of dealing with this embarrassing situation – he took a day off from the show.

The rest of the Morning Joe crew didn’t seem to have much to say on the matter either. After the FBI’s announcement, guest host Katty Kay urged Republicans not to make too much of it, in order to preserve “bipartisanship.”

This is a perfect example of how the liberal media twists the truth in order to undermine Republicans. It’s also a perfect example of how the liberal media tends to ignore or downplay any evidence that supports the Republican point of view.

Joe Scarborough should be ashamed of himself for pushing this conspiracy theory in the first place, and for taking a day off when the truth came out. But this isn’t surprising given the media’s bias and Scarborough’s track record.

Watch

The truth is, lab-leak deniers, Democrats, and biased media outlets have been wrong all along. It’s time they faced the facts and stopped trying to cover up the truth. It’s time they stopped trying to protect the Chinese government and started protecting the American people.
