GOP senators say WHO funding should be tied to cooperation with investigation of China's response to Coronavirus

Epoch:
Republican senators asked their colleagues on April 24 to require that funding of the World Health Organization be tied to the entity’s cooperation with the congressional inquiry into the handling of the CCP virus outbreak.

In a letter to Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)—the chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee that drafts the spending legislation covering the World Health Organization (WHO)—five Republican senators requested that funding for the WHO be reduced in fiscal year 2021 if the organization fails to cooperate with the inquiry.

“The world is facing an unprecedented public health crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the solution requires the cooperation of all nations across the globe,” the letter (pdf), signed by Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.), Ron Johnson (Minn.), Thom Tillis (N.C.), Steve Daines (Mont.), and Kevin Cramer (N.D.), states.

“Unfortunately, the WHO’s leadership seems to have failed their mission to protect the global community from COVID-19, because they appear to have uncritically accepted false and misleading information provided by the Chinese Communist Party.”

The senators wrote that they support President Donald Trump’s decision to withhold funding to the WHO, while the administration reviews the agency’s response to the outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Trump has said that in addition to apparent missteps in handling the outbreak, the WHO has grown too close to China, despite receiving the largest portion of its funding from the United States.

Democrats for some reason do not seem to care that the WHO backed the Chicoms initially in dealing with the virus.

The WHO did this in spite of doctors on their staff challenging the Chicom position at the time that there was no human to human transmission of the disease.  Why Democrats would want to ignore this has never been explained to my knowledge.
