The two Democrats are Florida Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy and Democrat Joe Cunningham of South Carolina. Oddly enough, Representative Murphy&#8217;s husband manufactures sportswear in Chinese factories. She also owns a patent on one of the products manufactured by her husband. What an amazing coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Murphy and Cunningham\u2019s plan does not provide any insight or plans on how they would make sure said imports, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-china-trade-war-list-of-goods-tariffs-2018-9\">which include everything from food to construction supplies,<\/a> would be properly tested to make sure they are not carrying the Wuhan Virus. Furthermore, the individuals involved in loading, shipping, and unloading said imports have no requirements to be tested by American officials to determine if they are also carrying the Wuhan Virus. To say that this is reckless would be an understatement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;Jamison Johnson, who is a graduate of the The Citadel in South Carolina, also served three tours of duty as a marine in the Middle East. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.votejohnsonforcongress.org\/\">He is running for the GOP nomination in South Carolina\u2019s 1st District<\/a> to take on incumbent Congressman Joe Cunningham, the co-sponsor of Murphy\u2019s pro-China legislation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><strong>\u201cThe Wuhan Virus came from China. If they would\u2019ve been open and honest with us from the beginning, far less people would\u2019ve gotten sick and far less people would have died. As a marine with three combat tours, I understand all too well how to deal with bullies like China. You have to show resolve and not back down,\u00a0 just like how President Trump is remaining firm and steadfast in handling them. At the end of the day, it is quite clear that \u201cSmoking Joe Cunningham\u201d simply lacks the moral compass or courage to unite and lead us in any capacity,\u201d Johnson told TGP in an exclusive statement Wednesday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It is unclear how much support this effort has, but Murphy and Cunningham are pushing to have this placed in the Coronavirus aid package being considered and developed by President Trump. This is a breaking news story and we will update you as more happens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I suspect that the obvious conflict of interest Congresswomen Murphy has between the interests of her husband&#8217;s business and the well being of America is only one example of something that is rampant in Washington. It is time to look at the business interests of both our Congressmen and their spouses. Some of their business interests may be in conflict with the interests of America. When that is the case, they need to be removed from office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday The Gateway Pundit reported that two House of Representatives Democrats have proposed lifting tariffs on imported Chinese goods.
