In an op-ed piece, Texas Republican Congressman Will Hurd asked President Donald Trump to reverse his Friday decision terminating the United States' relationship with the World Health Organization.

He blamed the Chinese government for its failed COVID-19 response, particularly for hiding the virus from the rest of the world, holding back research, and for detaining doctors who tried to slow its spread.

The congressman highlighted the WHO helping with the eradication of diseases including smallpox while helping countries throughout the world deal with AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. He repeatedly warned that a lack of U.S. leadership within the international conglomerate will make the response to a future pandemic potentially far worse.

"I have been critical of both the @WHO and Chinese Communist Party's handling of the pandemic and called for answers, but turning our backs on the WHO is not the answer," he added in a tweet Friday evening.

This is the same douchebag who found Trump innocent during the impeachment trial. This guys is part of the reason this country is burning.

Well... what are you gonna do about it congressman?

That’s about right...

No, it harms the personal bank accounts of corrupt politicians worldwide.

Lies

That's what he was put in the presidency for to cause destruction and disaster.

Can someone tell this idiot to shut up and continue doing nothing about it?

That's kinda his thing

PD: he is just another communist/agent/China/Democract

It blocks funding to an organization that is corrupt and controlled by China. Anything done there with US money would find its way to copy & paste as original / fake made in China.

right on and if a vaccine is developed guess what country won't get it.all because trump wants his crooked drug companies to reap/rape Americans for it even if the rest of the world has it years ahead

RINO

Isn't this the same dildo that gave Trump's quid pro quo a free pass? This dude is extra douchey.

Fuck Will Hurd! He had the opportunity to do the right thing during the impeachment trial after criticizing trump leading up to it but fell right in line with the other members of the GOP. I don't think anyone wants to hear anything he has to say..

If only Will Hurd, HurdOnTheHill, could’ve been in a position to vote for realDonaldTrump’s impeachment and possibly remove him? If he’d had that chance, maybe he could’ve done his part to stop the mad king from unleashing further destruction onto the world . We’ll never know.

Trump destroyed 2000 years worth of work. I hope you white rich bastardized people are happy. Your curtain is about to be called. Sorry not sorry. Love ya.

Still feeling ok with your decision to not vote for impeachment articles, HurdOnTheHill ?

Gradually some more countries can leave in protest of same reason ...

NotoriousRBF Ah well if Newsweek says it and it’s against trump it must be right 😂 🤡 🐑

he's correct but hey $$$ right?

New GOP group launches $10 million campaign to get Republicans to vote for Biden over TrumpA new project to encourage Republicans to support former Vice President Joe Biden over President Donald Trump has launched a $10 million ad campaign targeting GOP-leaning voters in top swing states. With so many people on the left bitching about money and who gets it, they sure as fuck don’t care when they throw huge amounts of money at their liberal politicians campaigns SEE?!!? Trump's base in numbers have been dwindling along with his approval numbers. I think it's very unlikely Trump will see a 2nd term.

GOP operatives worry Trump will lose both the presidency and Senate majorityA little more than three months ago, as Democrats cast their ballots in the Nevada caucuses, Republicans felt confident about their chances in 2020. The coronavirus seemed a distant, far-off threat. Democrats appeared poised to nominate a self-described socialist for president. The stock market was near a record high. The economy was roaring. President Donald Trump looked well-positioned to win a second term, and perhaps pull enough incumbent Republicans along with him to hold the party's majority in the Senate. Yep. We’re going to make it happen. GOP should have thought about that before they enabled a madman to be put in the position of president knowing he is emotionally & mentally unfit. The GOP sunk their own ship. thomaskaine5 There is HOPE in America!
