This isn't about Tucker. It's about Tulsi. She never once said they were weapons labs. She rightly raised the alarm that they are Bio labs doing research on dangerous pathogens in a war zone. What could possibly go wrong with that? Why is it even controversial to suggest those facilities need to be secured. That's just common sense. Typically democrats hopping on the Mitt Romney smear of Tulsi...wait...what?
Don't take it from me. How about Robert Pope, the director of the program that funded them.
“I would say from every facility that we have worked with them in, we have confidence that as long as the electrical power is turned on and the people we have trained are present at the facility, the biosafety officers, that these pathogens are safe and secure to international standards,” Pope said. “Should these facilities be damaged by conflict, that could change.”
Some labs, he said, may hold pathogen strains left over from the Soviet bioweapons program, preserved in freezers for research purposes....“Scientists being scientists, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these strain collections in some of these laboratories still have pathogen strains that go all the way back to the origins of that program.”
