    White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy director Peter Navarro hit the Chinese hard on Hannity Tuesday night by laying responsibility for the virus squarely at the feet of Beijing, "They spawned the virus, probably in that ... lab right there in China and then they hid it behind the shield of the World Health Organization.

    "What that did over a six-week period is allow hundreds of thousands of Wuhanians basically to get on aircraft and seed the world," he continued.

    "While they were doing that, and this is just disgusting - what they did was they vacuumed up all of the world's masks, gloves, goggles, personal protective equipment, two billion masks. That's why in Milan, New York and other places, our people didn't have them. And now, Sean, you know what they're doing.? What they're doing is profiteering from this crisis, charging ... for a 50-cent mask, $3, $4, $5 and more and sending us counterfeit tests," he went on.

    "That's the four kills, the killing of Americans and people internationally. What is puzzling to me is why the mainstream media and the national Democrats don't get that."

    Navarro also spoke of a new poll from the Pew Research Center which found that over 70% of Americans say they have an unfavorable view of China, "The Pew poll that came out today was the most stunning affirmation of President Trump's leadership.

    "Over 90 percent of Americans see China as a major threat, over 70 percent have an unfavorable view of China. It's across party lines and I can't help but think of the 9 percent that don't see China as a threat, they are the commentariat over at the fake news media and national Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden who basically don't want to blame anybody [but] Donald Trump for this Wuhan virus."

    Navarro concluded, "What I would say to the American people is, you got it right in that poll. We are going to have to hold China accountable when this is over."
