Rather than trying to get to the bottom of how the pandemic began, Representative Raul Ruiz (D., N.M.) spent his allotted time during Wednesday morning’s hearing on Covid’s origins berating one of the witnesses over a book he wrote ten years earlier on the human genome, implying that the book was motivated by racism.
Ruiz, the ranking Democrat on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, used his opening statement and much of his first round of questioning to argue that his Republican colleagues had compromised the panel’s efforts to investigate Covid’s origins by calling Nicholas Wade as a witness.
“Today’s hearing marks a concerning step

Typical Democrat response to anything or anyone that they do not like or agree with. Demonize them and their work as a racist with no proof other than their feelings and accusations. Of course, these accusations are all made very publicly during Congressional hearings with the goal of discrediting the person's expertise and knowledge of the subject so that the Democrat narrative on the hearing's subject will not be discredited. Democrats do not want to get to the truth about what happened with Covid. Same as they do no want to let the truth out about January 6.

Democrats fight the Civil War every day. Everywhere is racism. And where does it come from? The Democrats, who are, and always have been racists! They gotta whip up those blacks to get them to vote 95% Democrat, even though Democrats have never done anything but use them.

How does one go from COVID origins to racism? That's a gigantic leap.
What an idiot.
And he's in government.

Accusations of racism are over. No one is paying attention any more because, as usual, the Left have overplayed the race card. Now, being called a racist means nothing. It has lost its sting and its ability to shape the narrative. That is why the whole race industry is going to come crashing down.
CRT, DEI, ESG, SEL, the whole alphabet Leftist agenda is going to be repudiated very soon. Count on it.

The Republicans have a majority, so why can't they pass a law that says, in essence, "If you use the term racism or racist, you lose your time and your seat on the committee?" Dims can conjure up all kinds of committee rules, so the Pubbies should do the same.

Who is paying this guy to do what he did? It doesn't take a genius to understand that Ruiz has an agenda, and it's not to find out the origin of Covid. Maybe the Chinese made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, the committee chairman missed his opportunity to kick him out of and off the committee for his biased behavior. republicans need to learn to play the Democrat version of hardball!! That Ruiz went for the race card tells us he is a loser. He should not have been allowed to upset the day.

There is only one tool in the DNC toolbox. It is a hammer, so every problem then becomes a nail. The Dems convene a committee to smash the problem they could quite possibly solve, if only that Trump guy had not called Shotgun! Shove the problem in the trunk and drive it off a cliff.

Nicholas Wade's response to Raul Ruiz could have been "I followed the science. The science and research showed X Y and Z as shown in the book and reviewed by my peers". Use Democrat words against them.

Merriam-Webster should change the definition of the word racism to: "a tactic employed by those who cannot muster any facts to support their position."

The race card is the last resort of people who have no facts, no truth and no argument.

What do people not understand, the man is a democrat, a fraud, a political hack for his communist democratic party. It never changes with these people. They are nothing but sick indoctrinated commies who have sold their souls to their party. Get it.

Ruiz is another democrat dimwit. As such whenever someone doesn't agree with their leftist agenda they're either homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, sexist or in this case racist. It's all mental midgets like Ruiz have and I'm glad that Mr. Wade didn't let him get away with this smear tactics.

Just like so many of these attacks, emotions are everything - especially hatred - and facts are avoided.

This is GREAT!
If everything is Racist, then nothing is Racist. Eventually, people will ignore or laugh at all the race-baters.
If these Dips continue, then genuine racism, of which there is little, will not be regarded at all.

I'm at the point where I don't care if someone calls me a racist. The word is overused and IMO has lost meaning.
True "hate crimes" are already crimes - that too is an unnecessary designation. I'm just sick of the wedge purposely being driven into our society.

When the liberal idiots get caught in lies and backed in a corner here comes the playing of the racist card. They say this so much it has no meaning any more. Liberals are so stupid.
