Roberts continued, \u201cWithout any measure of transparency from China, though, do they have any hope of succeeding?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot really,\u201d Graham answered. \u201cThe only reason that Biden\u2019s doing this, it\u2019s becoming untenable not to look at whether or not this originated in a Chinese lab. We need to find out what happened so it never happens again. If the source of COVID-19, that turned the world upside down, is from a lab in China we need to hold China accountable for allowing that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Biden seems to be intimidated by our enemies than President Trump,\u201d Graham stated. \u201cSo having the intelligence community look at this, it\u2019s not going to be successful until the world rallies around the idea that China needs to be more cooperative, and the only way the world will rally around the idea of pushing back against China is for the United States to lead. So I\u2019m looking for President Biden to issue a challenge to the world to come together and insist that we have an open and transparent investigation in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out,\u201d Graham snapped. \u201cIf the first cases of COVID-19 occurred in November (2019) with the lab workers, doesn\u2019t that make it more likely than not that the source of the virus was in the lab, not a wet market? So I think it\u2019s becoming increasingly clear; we haven\u2019t found an animal yet that is a good host for the virus. If the first cases involve lab workers in Wuhan, it\u2019s most likely they got it in the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo how can Congress help President Biden?\u201d he asked. \u201cWe should put together a sanctions regime against China; put in place sanctions until they fully cooperate with the international community to find out the source of the virus. I don\u2019t think without sanctions, without international pressure, they\u2019re ever going to help. So you can look at this until you turn blue in the face; the only way China\u2019s going to respond is when the world makes them respond. So sanctions led by the United States, embraced by the world, I think, would get us where we need to go, and I intend to introduce those sanctions relatively soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Graham: &#039;Doesn&#039;t take Sherlock Holmes&#039; to figure out likelihood of lab leak\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SySzFplQjOM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
