      I feel like this is ignoring the fact that there were multiple lab theories, some of which were bonkers (i.e. China deliberately unleashed bioweapon on world), others more modulated and plausible.

      Also, I think it is reasonable to conclude that Tom Cotton was definitely trying to give supporters of those more egregious conspiracy theories a dog whistle.

      yeah, the way Cotton worded his stuff was very clearly designed to carry a lot of insinuation. It's kind of ridiculous that we have to pretend that is not there.

      I really don't know how to read the word "inflicted" here in the benign way you do.https://twitter.com/mkady/status/1238098795466051584 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Sen. Tom Cotton release this morning: "We will emerge stronger from this challenge, we will hold accountable those who inflicted it on the world." What does that mean?

          "inflicted' probably refers to them intentionally downplaying the severity of the virus and letting it spread globally unchecked. Just a hunch.

          Requires a charitable reading, since it could be taken 2 ways (which is likely what the ambiguity was for). See it’s really hard to be charitable when it comes to Cotton)
